Summer fun

With only a week or so until I return to work, I have been making the best of the good weather and enjoying small hikes with the kids and spending time beside water.
Heather has managed to hike up Tunnel mountain in Banff and enjoyed a spot of climbing and playing with sticks....

We enjoyed a hike to Grassi Lakes....well mum hiked carrying Finlay in the back pack and Heather in her arms, thinking that Heather would want to walk all the way, after her accomplishment at Tunnel mountain....... I'm sure seeing Finlay on mum's back and the fact that there was no back up, it was tempting to be carried also. However she did hike alot of the way by herself and knowing that she was helping to pull mum up the hill made her feel proud!!!!!


Once we reached the top she was thrilled to see the waterfalls and the lakes and had a great time running over the little bridges. We had to explore the circuit three times!!!!

We also enjoyed a relaxing morning at Two Jacks Lake...water, stones and grass....that's all that kids need and kept them amused for some time, along with a ball and a water pistol !!! We discovered that Finlay is good at throwing stones as well as eating them

"Can I get any more in my mouth?"

"Hey!! Look at those big rocks!!!"
