Christmas Adventures...Take Two

Benjamin and I spent a couple of days in St. Albert before we headed up north. We had a WONDERFUL!!!!! day with Kris. We spent the whole day together, finishing up Christmas shopping, checking out Whyte Ave. Meeting his friends, swimming and the casino. What a busy but fun day. Thanks Kris, we have to do it again soon. Benjamin and Uncle Kris playing in the snow

And a few pictures for Mom and Dad. This is the hydro dam in the winter. It sure looks different with no water.

The fish ladders
Grey Mountain. I loved how the sun shone on the mountains even though it was cloudy in town.
The SS Klondike. There was Christmas light all over it. I couldn't get a picture of it at night though
