One of the things PChad wanted to do on his Alberta holidays, was go camping. Now I like to camp just as much as the next gal (yes, I really do enjoy it), but PChad specified that he wanted to camp in the MOUNTAINS.
It was cold. I am not a fan of the cold, so we spent our camping holiday all bundled up, in our warmest sweaters & coats. Luckily, we were camping with PChad’s parents, & they kindly offered to let us sleep in their 5th wheel so we didn’t have to sleep in a tent in
sub-0 temperatures.
When we first got to the site, I took the kids for a jaunt through the forest so that we’d be out of the way for setting everything up.
Then the sun came out & for a brief while, the weather was pleasant enough for us to shed our outer layers.
Over the course of the week, the kids found ways to amuse themselves around the campsite.
Asher figured out how this camping thing is done,“Can we do s’mores NOW?”
Since we were surrounded by beautiful mountains, we figured we’d better enjoy the scenery
Asher loved every bit of nature he encountered.
Our leisurely morning hike turned into a 3 hour trek…
So we took a few rests along the trail…
And the more tired ones were given a lift…
I think she milked it for all it was worth
The next day, we set out again, this time armed with proper walking sticks…
…and hiking gear,“Can you tie my sweater around my waist when my hood’s on?”
Chancery figured one stick was enough, after discovering it was too difficult to also carry rocks.
We played by the lake for awhile…
…and cooled our feet after all our hiking
