Hiccup number 3 - Chelsea has tonsillitis! Christine took her to the local doctor first thing in the morning and after a couple of hours came home with antibiotics and our cash card lighter by $300 . Hopefully our travel insurance will help out with a refund of some sort upon our return home.
Chelsea spent the rest of the day in bed. She normally responds well to antibiotics so hopefully she will start to improve soon and can join us for all the festivities on Christmas Day. Andrew and the boys went and played in the snow, had snowball fights, made snow angels and explored the surrounding 'bush'. Fortunately the
bears* are hibernating . Unfortunately the only wildlife spotted was a cute little squirrel. With Canada being 18 or so hours behind NSW & SA we called family to wish them all a Merry Christmas. After dark we went for a drive along the main street to have a look at the pretty Christmas lights that made it feel like Christmas Eve . After a light tea of scrambled eggs and toast Christine and Andrew went for another soak in the hot pool and met some Canadians (finally, most people here come from some other country ) who were at the resort overnight for Christmas. They were fascinated that we had travelled all this way to spend Christmas in Banff and then spending another 3&1/2 weeks in the US. We found our way back to the room and settled in for the night watching Indiana Jones with Cameron. Eventually we all fell asleep dreaming of Santa's impending visit.
