So this past month has been very exciting in the Prescott's household. Rachel came up here to visit us. She was able to stay here for about a week and a half. So she got the uncensored version of living in Calgary...a bit of snow, sunshine, rain, mountains, and water. We had a great week, and loved being able to spend time with her. We spent most of our time talking (which Andy says we are very good at) and dreaming about living someday in the same city let alone same country. We spent sometime shopping and found an Orange Julius which use to be a childhood favorite so of course we had to buy some and then document it with a photo. We also gave her the tour of Calgary which included the bar right out of the movie 'Cool Runnings' It even has the bobsled sticking out from the side of it. I found out that in the beginning of the week Rachel wasn't too impressed with Calgary (personally I think the snow had something to do with that) but just to show her our beautiful backyard we took her to Banff for a day. We spent time hiking (don't worry we didn't meet any mountain lions...which Andy and Rachel weren't scared of running into....weird) and made a stop at the hot springs as well. I also made Rachel taste Turkish Delight, both of us don't care for it much...which I already knew about me, but I had to participate in her first try. Other highlights of the week included a few days in kindergarten, where Rachel was warmly recieved, watching a Phils game, playing in a baseball game (Rachel played 2nd for an inning and was an allstar), and a dramatic trip to the ER. I happen to have a very emotional and well dramatic personality so although I did need to go to the ER ( I had some complications with my eye surgery I had had a few days before) I might also have been trying to impress my actress sister just a little with my drama. Anyway, all in all we had a great time, and we hope Rachel thought so as well.
