Laughing Falls Backpack

Our first family backpacking trip - an overnight hike to Laughing Falls in Yoho. We had great weather and it was an excellent cap-off to a fantastic summer break. The kids loved sleeping in the tent and were proud to carry their own packs.

Fantastic Trip to Newfoundland

We had a wonderful visit with our family in St.John's in August. The weather was perfect and we spent many happy hours hiking, picking blueberries and enjoying time with family.
 
 
 

The kids got to work on Opa's and Benjamin's model train set.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We spent a day whale and puffin watching.
 
 

A family cookout at Middle Cove was a highlight!
