It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since Neil and I got married. It seems like yesterday and yet so much has changed since then! We celebrated our first anniversary and Neil's birthday by returning to Emerald Lake (any excuse!). It was so nice to be back and so good to have so many happy memories of being there with our families and friends. The whole place really reminds me of that amazing week and all the fun we had. Whenever we walked into breakfast I half expected to see everyone sitting around sipping their morning tea! I don't know what it is about Emerald Lake but it seems that we just keep having more and more special times there, this visit saw Sebastian take his first completely unaided steps, I felt baby number 2 do some major movements for the first time and we had some really good news from home! So all in all it was pretty eventful!!
It was a little cooler than this time last year but just as beautiful as always. Seb seemed so excited to be there, so much so that he refused to sleep the first night at all and spent the night in our bed kicking and wriggling. Neil had insisted we buy him a back pack to sit in so that we could take him on his first ever hike. He loved it and was obviously pretty comfy in there. Anyway here are some pics from the trip........
The amazing morning mist reflected in the lake.
Seb behind bars where he belongs!! Aww!
Looking like a big boy in a big chair.
Look! Standing by himself!!
Love this little woolly hoody Thanks Nana Zena!!

Breakfast at Emerald Lake, my favorite time of the day.

The Ralston's one year on.
Aww, the lovely spot where we got married.
We visited the Cave and Basin historic site in Banff. It's a natural hot spring and was the reason that the Banff national park was first formed. It's not open for swimming these days it's kind of an interpretive centre explaining all about the park. Neil wasn't too impressed, interpretive centre's aren't his thing apparently. He was especially unimpressed with the eggy sulphur smell that wafted around after us the whole time!

Sebastian's first hike!
A leaf. I like leaves.
Look at those happy chaps!
It started to rain a little about half way through our hike. Seb was the only one with decent rain protection. 
Some wet leaves. I thought they were pretty.
The amazing scenery! It never ceases to amaze me.
