| Mighty Camp Columbus as it stands today. The only change we could see was that the wooden sign under the bell no longer existed. |
 |

 |
| Enjoying some ice cream - with a view of the Prince of Wales hotel |
 |
| Troy had a "tester" size |
 |
| Jude went for the bigger size (yes...Troy noticed!) |
 |
| Daddy was more interested in "Weiners of Waterton" |
 |
| Time for bed! |
 |
| Or rather...time for flashlight wars...in bed! |
 |
| Some morning colouring time |
 |
| Staying in the lines |
 |

 |
| Jude skipping rocks |
 |
| Hmmm....I think.... |
 |
| Maybe, I need some war paint? |
 |
| These red rocks make for good painting |
 |
| What do you think...do I need more? |
 |
| Oh yeah... |
 |
| I am a Waterton warrior!! |
 |
| Troy and Jude sporting their "local" t-shirts (Jude is wearing Mommy's camp shirt from 30 years ago!) |

| Did I get dip on my war paint? |
 |
| Time to take a break from our game for some "fun dip" |
 |
| Liking the licking |
 |
| Camping is fun!!! |
 |
| Surprisingly we had NO wind for two days (so RARE for Waterton) However, on the last morning...the wind came up and so did the smoke from the forest fires. The haze you see in this photo is smoke. |
