Time with Tasia and Zade - grand edventures

 We love to go to the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour movies every year.  It started years ago as something else - climbing movies - presented by Desert Rat, but now it's this.  We still like it.  It's full of great high adventure outdoor sports movies for the most part.  It's things we would never do, but it's so interesting to see other people's great adventures.  We've taken grandkids in the past and this year we took Tasia and Zade.  It's hard to find things that teenagers like, but they both really enjoyed this.  We wanted to take Koen, Gaige and Brenden too, but they weren't available.  It was fun to hang out with just the Smiths.  Afterwards we did DQ which always sweetens the fun!  Some of our favorite movies this year: 

BEAR-LIKE

Two adventurers engage in close contact with grizzly bears in Alaska experiencing first-hand the struggle for survival and dramatic fighting scenes. Driven by a desire to explore the unknown, the film tells a personal story of wilderness, framed through breathtaking footage of these amazing creatures.

My Midsummer Morning

Inspired by Laurie Lee’s book “As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning”, Alastair Lee sets out on his most terrifying journey yet - walking through Spain, earning money for food by playing his violin, being distinctly unmusical.

We've already taken Trigg on an edventure this year, so we didn't take him, but while we were there he was out having his own edventure - earning his brown belt in Karate!  Way to go Trigg!  Proud of you!
