Our Memories of Vacation

I'm finally getting our pictures organized enough to start posting. I don't know exactly how many were taken, but I do know there are TONS! Brian thought he lost one of our memory cards while we were on vacation, and we were devestated. BUT, yesterday before church he found it in the pocket of his dress pants. Phew! I think I have these in chronological order....so enjoy!

These pictures were taken in Waterton National Park. We took a picnic and had a blast. The kids played in the frigid water while the adults chatted and took pictures.

OUR FAMILY

SOME OF OUR COUSINS ZACH'S FUN LAUREN TESS & ELLA These pictures were taken at Cameron Falls in Waterton. I remember my first visit to Canada, Katie and I had pictures taken in front of these falls with Brian, Bruce and Charles. We were still at Ricks College, and having the time of our lives. When I went up for Brian's Homecoming, after his mission, we had pictures taken of the two of us in front of these falls...Awwwwwww!

Photos from Red Rock Canyon in Waterton

These pictures were taken at Aunt Cheryl's house. We had a great time visiting and riding horses. Aunt Cheryl ended up taking the girls on a walk in the tall grass...it was a lot of fun!

These photos were taken on our hike to Ptarmigan Falls and Iceberg Lake. The girls and I hiked just over 5 miles and Brian and Zach made it about 10 miles....they continued on from the falls and hiked to Iceberg Lake.

ALONG THE WAY

to be continued.....more pictures to come soon, I promise!

Back to Reality

It's hard to believe, but our family vacation to Canada is already over. We've made this trip every year of our marriage, and it's become something that the kids look forward to all year. Seeing Grandma and Grandpa and playing with their cousins...what more could they ask for, right? We left on Wednesday the 2nd and got back last night (Sunday the 13th). We broke the 12 hour drive up into 2 days going and coming home, which made it more tolerable for everyone. When we lived in Tucson, we had two 12-hour days...I don't know how we did it.

So, let me fill you in on our adventures from this year's trip: we went horseback riding, we rode ATVs, went hiking, had picnics and bbqs, made a trip to the public pool, did some shopping, went to the movie theater, went to the family dinner celebrating Mom and Dad B's 50th Anniversary, took a family drive over Logan's Pass, skipped rocks on lakes and in creeks, went to a family reunion, watched "Horton Hears a Who" under the stars, played Playstation with cousins, wrecked our new truck (just messed up the rear bumper and tail-light...Brian was driving for the record) went shooting gophers (just Brian and Zach did that...the girls opted out), and went fishing. I know I must be leaving some things out, but when I get the camera unpacked to upload the photos, I'm sure I'll be adding more posts. But for now, we're safe and sound, back home and trying to get back to our normal day-to-day! Love to all, Kim
