Photos from the summer

I can't believe it's October and I haven't posted pics from the summer! Our weeks and weekends were packed with adventures! Here are some of our favourite memories!

Hiking to Wilson Falls in July.

Climbing the tower, just like the prince will when he has to save princess Rowan from her tower.

This is Princess Rowan's tower where her prince (papa) will save her.
She's my darling sunshine!
Oh, what a darling!
Child Yoga class at Star Starbelly Jam, practicing breath!
We went to a music festival called StarBelly Jam. Rowan loved it! Here she is in a children's yoga class learning slow breaths with a feather.
So exciting to watch!
The rodeo came to Nakusp! It was pretty cool!
biker Everett
We spent a weekend camping at Mabel Lake in the Okanagan with friends. Everett was so inspired by Rowan on her two wheel bike that he ditched his bike with training wheels, hopped on hers and figured it all out!

For my birthday I choose to kayak with the family to some waterfalls!

Our destination: Fosthall Falls

This next batch of photos are from our annual road trip with our friends the Mcleans. We were lucky to have the Humphreys join us too! We camped in the alpine above Trout Lake for 3 nights and spent our days hiking, exploring by 4x4 and playing!

The sweetest friendship to watch! Rowan and her BFF!

Hiking with friends is so much fun!

We even took a dip in this alpine lake! Brrrrr....

There were a few (THOUSANDS!!) of horseflies around! It was AWFUL!
