We spent the 19th to the 22nd in Jasper. Jasper is one of my most favorite places :) We had a great time with my Mom, Dad, sister and nephew. We visited Athabasca Falls, Maligne Canyon, Mount Edith Cavell, went for dinner and ice cream in town and enjoyed some time at Whistler's campground! Blake and Em attended a kids interpretation program at the campground, put on by Parks Canada. It was awesome, I tagged along and actually learned quite a bit ;)
The kids enjoyed themselves in Jasper, they really love the waterfalls and this year really enjoyed hiking! We look forward to next year and planning a longer hike. Cal still needed to carry Reese quite a bit but I think by next summer she'll be able to walk a little more. Reese kept asking, "Can we go up a mountain?" lol! Over and over and we continued to tell her that we were, in fact, already on a mountain ;) As we drove around Jasper and area, Emerson and Blake liked to ask if we were in Jasper but by the end of the trip they had differentiated between the town of Jasper and Jasper National Park!! Em remarked many times, "Jasper is my favorite place!" The mornings and evenings/nights were VERY chilly but the days were nice and warm. We can't wait to visit again!
This was our last camping trip of summer 2013. We have had an amazing summer with many fabulous friends and family!! It's been great visiting with everyone and spending so much time in our new trailer. We can not wait for next camping season and have plans in the works already ;)
The rest of our summer will be spent at home, doing some fun things around the city and getting ready for back to school!
Talk to you soon ;)
