Carolinas for the 4th.

We escaped the heat wave in Montana and made a trip down to NC and SC to catch up with friends and family.  Here are a few of the photos from our visit:

A fun day at the beach after three rainy days.

Ev climbed to the top railing of this bench with no help and no clothes.

Fireworks after baseball:

Tired boy:  11:34 on the clock, he saw much later at night.

as Caden says, "golf park"

Banff, May 2013

Here is a quick look at our family trip to Banff National Park outside of Calgary, AB.  

 View from the top of Sulphur Mountain looking down into Banff. 

Caden and Mema on the way up the mountain

 

Great views and easy hike in the snow at the top.

Lots of fun on the way down the hill.

Our scenic nature drive was very fun!! One Black Bear,

an elk,

an osprey with a fish

A nice view of lake louise

and a momma and two young grizzlies to end the night.

Everywhere we go, a boy who likes to throw rocks.
