So after our fun in Edmonton we headed to Canmore where there were all sorts of shenanigans
Lyza had lots of fun playing with her cousins
It was nice having dinner every night out on the patio. The weather was great.
Nixon and Lyza both got lots of time with their grandparents
These girls had lots of fun making necklaces and bracelets with pasta
Before Kevin and Amanda got there we all did a hike up a creek and had a blast. It was a pretty warm day and walking through the cool water felt amazing
Whenever we got to deep spots Wes helped everyone get through them. Thanks Wes!
This guy was riding in style. He even got some sleep during all of the excitement
She loved holding grandma's hand while hiking
Unlimited number of rocks + continuous water = One happy little girl
Group photo. We all joked about how this was the family photo and we could just photoshop Kevin and Amanda in later...
But that didn't really look right...
My favorite hiking partner
We don't mind bringing along these two either
It was fun climbing through some of the deep water with a baby on my back :)
Snack time
Show off!
Lyza loved riding on grandpa's back
Right after Lyza left this rock fell down
Like I said, Lyza loved playing in the water
I also enjoyed trying to redirect nature
This part was the most sketchy where we had to walk along a wet log
Photo-bombed!
One of the days I did a hike with Wes and Craig. It was a lot of fun
The hike took us to several of these tarns
No one wanted to build a snowman with me or have a snow fight :(
This is the only way they could keep me going
This table and chairs were there at one point. Natural or man made?
There was beautiful stream surrounded by flowers. The stream would occasionally disappear underground and reappear later
Can you see the butterflies?
Mr. Marmot
While we were hiking the ladies were having their own adventures
We left Nixon behind to protect the women
Lyza and Abigail "sleeping"
The swimming pool was lots of fun. Lyza has always loved swimming and this was Nixon's first time. He is just like his sister, loves the water. Good thing we live so close to lakes and rivers
Happy as clams
Lyza really liked her uncle "Heaven"
Red shirts were the fashion of the day
What a great sister, she picked flowers for her brother
We did another hike when all of the family was there
Lyza is turning into quite the mountain goat
Nothing beats having lunch on a gigantic rock
having a blast with grandma
Cool dudes
If you have seen Ratatouille, this is how Nixon steered me while we were hiking
These stairs were really steep!
Uncle Kevin taught Lyza how to take a selfie. She is a natural and we all know Kevin has had lots of practice :)
It was sure nice having people around to take pictures of our family
Grandpa's shoulders got a good workout
My favorite dinner of the week had to be Kevin's salmon
Movie time
Of course there were some heated games of horse shoes
With a cheering section
Playing in the rain after swimming
Family photo
Grandkids
Nixon started crawling on this trip

We had a good time in Canmore. Thanks Wes!
That's all for now. We'll catch up on everything since our vacation in next week's post. Take care.
