We love camping. Love love love it. This summer we are so lucky that we are doing a lot of camping! In just a few days we are going to be heading out for a month long trip through BC, and I can’t wait. Growing up some of my favorite memories were from camping, and I hope for my kids that they will remember these times fondly as well. It truly is amazing time together as a family, and we do lots of reading, walks, biking and visiting the beach. We hope to try some geo-caching on our next trip, and we’re looking forward to the Fraser Canyon, checking out some of the gold rush trail, and in particular, Barkerville. We are also planning on hitting some of the big national parks that we always drive through but have never stopped to explore…Jasper and Banff.
So, I will be out of the office for most of August, and possibly the first few days of September. I will have some access to email, but my response may be delayed depending on if we have network access. If you are interested in booking a fall session for Christmas cards, please email me as soon as possible to reserve a date as this time of year fills up fast.
I wanted to share some pictures from our second camping trip of the year in Shuswap.
My kids can play together *so* nicely, and hockey is a current fave. Arden loves doing the face-offs!
Yes, she has killer hair. Wish I could have hair like hers 
Hudson is a huge hockey nut. In his world, the bigger the stick, the better.
Ethan is loving reading. It’s still not his first choice for activities, but once he starts he can’t put a book down and he’s been reading a ton of chapter books and comic books this year.
I love my Keens. Best camping sandals ever….great for hiking, biking and the beach. And the resulting sandal tan is hot. haha
The cutest boots ever!
Arden had three mosquito bites right around her eye, and it was almost swollen shut. It was so freaky to look at, she looked like a completely different girl. Fortunately it didn’t bother her.
She is finally starting to master her bike. Her bike is pink (her favorite color) and girly. Of course.
We did a lot of biking here. The provincial park campground at Shuswap is nice and flat and perfect for biking.
We do a lot of reading. I’m so glad Tim and I are both readers, it’s the perfect way to spend a cloudy day in the campsite.
The bike trailer is always a big hit. Pulling it with 50+ pounds of kids is a super workout.
Hudson and his push car were pretty much inseparable. With it he can run. fast. He loved 4×4′ing the trails with it.
Everything was so green and luscious here. We live in such an incredibly beautiful area of the world.
