A couple of day's at Dead Man's Flat's.......




We've spent the last couple of days at Dead Man's Flat's, a hamlet just outside Canmore Alberta. We were pretty pleased with our little condo at the Copperstone Lodge, a lot cheaper than anywhere we've stayed in Banff and a whole lot bigger too. We had a proper kitchen for Neil to cook up some yummy dinners and two bedrooms so no sharing with noisy babies....yeah!! We even brought Sully Wully along to enjoy his first Rocky Mountain experience. Can't tell you how much I loved getting woken up at 5am to take him out for a pee! Actually it wasn't so bad, once I'd cleared the sleep from my eyes I got to see some stunning scenery, the mountain tops were literally glowing in the early morning light, thanks Sully, wish I could wake up to that every morning. We were only 15 minutes from Banff and five minutes from Canmore. We've stopped in Canmore many times on our way through to Banff but this was the first time we really explored the town and I have to say I think I might even prefer it to Banff. It's a nice place with some amazing shops, good restaurants and really pretty trails.




We had a ground floor condo which made for easy peeing....for the dog of course, we had a nice toilet inside thanks.

Sully is turning into quite the cute teddy bear. He got lots of attention from passers by on our trip.



Early morning at the Copperstone Lodge.


























Lunch at Murrietta's in Canmore.....really nice place, Sebastian was especially impressed with the coloured pencil selection.








Lemon face!




Seb had great fun feeding the duckies in Canmore. They went a bit crazy, don't think they'd eaten much lately.















Policeman's Creek.......aptly named for a stroll with Neil.
