We met up with our dear friend Vicky in Calgary, and drove through a nasty snow storm to Banff. It is an absolutely stunning place, with mountains towering all around. The view was great once the cloud lifted, but even better was being with Vicky again! We have missed her so much! The kids were absolutely delighted to see her. Jane ran across the bus terminal when we arrived to meet her shrieking, "Vicky! Vicky!" I was so amazed that she would remember, as Jane was only 21 months old when we last saw Vicky. She definitely knew her. Within 2 minutes she was snuggled up on Vicky's lap telling her all about how she doesn't like floating on her back at swimming lessons. Charlie and Grace were just as happy to see her, picking up right where they left off. I was sure that Josephine would not be very friendly, as she is very wary of strangers, to put it mildly. I should have known that they would be friends in 15 minutes. Vicky has such a gift with children. So we had a very happy weekend, catching up on the year since we saw each other. Vicky is enjoying life in Canada, and hopes to be able to visit us here in Utah in a year or so. We hope she makes it!

How wonderful! That is really great that you have stayed in touch with Vicky. She was such a sweet girl. I bet she was happy to know that all of your kids remembered her and still love her! What a fun trip!
