ALBERTA

 I've tried to compile all my photos from camera and phone and Jared's phone so these aren't in much of an order. This is at a reservoir that was so low in water that it was a mud pit. The kids found it very entertaining!

 We were staying at Jared's dad's house in Mountain View. He had a good sized piece of land with trails for quading and the kids to play. Across the street from him is his brother's land which is large with a creek running through it.

 We all went and checked out Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump

 Harper wasn't a fan.

 I'm not sure how I caught such an unfortunate moment of Harper running - ha!

The combination of bad angle and right when all the little fat on her face was pulled down with running! I thought it was really funny.

 First time with a shot gun.

 She slept in this closet, well mostly in the closet.

 Prince of Whales Hotel

 One morning before the clouds rolled in.

 The kids had their own club in the trees.

 A relative who lives close by has this cow train and took the kids for a ride.

 Aubrey's first try at shooting.

 First time they fell asleep together. It didn't last long.

 This was a actually a rare site which was nice.

 Just one shot of all the good food.

She loved the cats

 They were quite the little gang

 Red Rock Canyon was a highlight!

 We hiked up the canyon through the water quite a ways

 After our time in Mountain View we stayed near Calgary with friends and Jared & Aubrey did a Spartan Race there with friends and family.

FAMILY PHOTOS IN ALBERTA

 We were in Alberta last week visiting family and friends at Jared's dad's new home out in the country. His brother owns land across the street from him and when I saw the old barns on it I knew I wanted to take some photos around them. Luckily Jared really wanted some too so we pulled together some clothing and his brother and her girlfriend were kind enough to take some of us! His brother Kyle actually did an awesome job at getting the kids attention (I wish I had him with me all the time!).

PINECREST LAKE

This past Thursday to Saturday we camped at Pinecrest Lake which is just over 3 hours North/East of us, just above Yosemite. We were lucky to make a reservation a campsite for two nights just the week prior as that's when Jared found out he could get the time off.

It was a nice campground on the lake (our spot was the furthest away from the lake).

 This was the first time we have gone camping since Harper was born!

I wasn't sure how she would do, but I think she slept better then everyone!

 The campsites were huge, we could have fit 3-4 tents on it!

 The lake had a nice sandy beach front and was pretty cool but nice in the 90+ degree weather.

 This was across from our site. There were lots of huge boulders throughout the campground that both Jared and Aubrey had to climb.

 Teaching her how to carry more rocks then she has hands for.

 We attempted to walk around the lake but didn't get very far. Jared ran it the next morning though.

Harper was a fan of smores. We only had mini marshmallows as we did banana boats the night before, but cooing about 8-10 at once seemed to work!
