We were lucky enough to spend a long weekend exploring Kootenay National Park in British Columbia with my brother and sister-in-law (Joe's oldest sister and her husband) and their adorable kids! And because I'm always of the opinion that pictures are better than words, here's a snapshot of our much-needed get-away.

 |
| a nice nap in the hot sun- also a must |

| a bike ride to the beach |

 |
| we did lots of hiking! |
 |
| my favorite hike was to marble creek canyon... we could see the creek a couple hundred feet below by standing on several bridges over top of it. |
 |
| our cabin had this nice campfire pit in the backyard! |

love, the hills
Fun! I've never been to Canada either. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteFun! That looks beautiful! Make sure you only go in the summer time... then you'll still love soaking in the sun. If you go any other time, you may soak up the sun, but your cheeks may be the only thing that is uncovered comfortably :)
ReplyDeletehaha oh yes my brother and sister-in-law (texan gone canadian residents) have made us well aware that summer is the only time to visit (:
