Lake Louise in the Winter

Today we decided since the weather was nice (in the 40's F) we would drive up to Lake Louise. It was amazing. The lake was frozen so we actually walked on the snow ON TOP of the lake. There were some slushy patches and Lauren was a bit scared so she and I went back to 'solid ground' while Jeff and Luke trudged through snow banks that went up past their knees. Luke, who wanted to stay home today, had a great time. When we met up again we walked around by the hotel where they had various ice sculptures. The coolest one was a castle structure. After taking it all in we went to have an early dinner in Banff. It was the neatest experience, but I still think that Lake Louise in the summer is breathtaking and one of the most beautiful places that I have seen.
