Fairmont 2015

A couple of weeks ago we took a much needed vacation to Fairmont.  We have been going there off and on for years and now that my mom no longer has a timeshare there we asked her if we could use one of her week getaways.  It cost us almost as much as a weekend away would have cost but we had a whole week and a house!!  We packed all of our food, and our swimming suits and we were off!!

It was a great week, so relaxing.  We had no agenda except swimming at least once a day!!  Grandma Puzey also came with us which was so nice...our kids absolutely adore their Grandma Puzey, in fact whenever we go somewhere the first thing they ask is if Grandma is coming too!!

We went to the natural hot springs three times and to our villa pool everyday.  We took the kids bowling, where we were beat by a 4 year old!!  The second round I beat Jared, with the bumpers up, but I still beat him!!  The first round where all of us except Jared were beat by Armin we didn't have the bumpers up!!!!  Maybe a future bowler in our midst!!!!

Grandma, Emry and I got pampered one day and got pedicures!!!  We had them done at the Hot Springs Resort and before our appointments we were able to use the Nordic pools in the hotel.  There were two pools there, one super hot...so relaxing...and the other ice cold!!!!  I put my feet in the ice cold one and that was all I could stand...Emry walked in like it was nothing and submerged her entire body into the freezing cold water.  Then she walked back into the hot pool, where she did admit that her whole body felt like it was burning!!!  A neat experience.

We saw deer right behind out little villa almost everyday.  We barbequed stake and hamburgers.  We made bacon and egg McMuffins!!  As soon as we walked into our villa Calum started to unpack, he and Armin shared the murphy bed in the loft area so Calum hung all their clothes over the railing!!  It was quite cute.  Grandma and Emry shared a room that had two twin beds.  There was more than enough room for all of us!! 

The weather was perfect, we hardly ever had to wear a coat.  We walked around Invermere and looked at all the unique shops.  We had the best pizza ever and yummy ice cream!  We had naps, watched movies and played games.  We had fun just being together and not worrying about where we had to be or what we had to do!  It was a much needed get a way and I am so thankful I was able to spend it with those I love the most!!!
