Banff Day 1

Well, it turns out it was a good thing Dad and I decided to be done 1 day early. Last night my grandmother dislocated her artificial knee. It was bad enough that we had to call the EMT to take her to the hospital, and after they couldn't help they transported her to the regional hospital in Calgary. It was a long night for my grandparents.

Grandma is doing much better. Today is Sunday and July 1st is Canada Day, so they had some difficulty locating a specialist, but were finally able to get someone who could manipulate her knee into place. She's spending 1 more night in Calgary, and then coming back to Canmore tomorrow.

While Mom, Dad and my grandparents were in Calgary today, Jim and I went exploring and photographing. We visited Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. A word to the wise, if you go, go EARLY. Jim and I left about 11, and the traffic was parked on the side of the narrow, windy road for miles. Traffic was backed up, waiting for entry and a spot to park, and it was awful. We got parking spots no problem, and were feeling quite proud of ourselves.
