A Walk with Troy

A walk with Troy usually takes a little longer than expected.  He manages to convince Mommy to take "shortcuts through the forest" and play some soccer along the way!

This way Mommy!

Leading the way

C'mon Mommy...keep up!

Stopping to smell the flowers

Look Mom, I found a soccer ball!

Ready to play? 

So am I!

Ready to head back..

Did we really need to bring this umbrella?

Hmmmm...maybe it was a good idea...I think I feel a few drops?

Yup...it's POURING! 

Let's hurry Mommy!

Easy Rider

Troy is pedalling hard these days.  (Although we had to put the training wheels back on to get him on his bike again!)   We have been caught in the rain a few times (thanks to our daily thunderstorms)....but it means there are great puddles to go through (which Troy can never resist!)

Have a look...

Happy Campers

Turns out a wrong turn can turn out great!  After making a slight miscalculation on our road trip to Blue Rock campground, we changed course and ended up in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park (a truly spectacular part of Kananaskis).  The mountains are huge and the scenery is epic.

Have canteen...ready to camp

Better test it out

Sluuuuurp

Look at that lake, Daddy! 

C'mon down...the view is even better down here 

Of course I have to throw a rock in this amazingly still lake

Plop

See the ripples?

Here comes MORE!

The hike had incredible views of the lake

We should throw some rocks?!

At the end of our hike

When's lunch??

Exactly what these Grizzly bears were thinking!!  Yes...a Momma bear and her cub.

Has it stopped raining yet?

Fine...I will just do some colouring then

Daddy found this happy face on our kindling :)

Anyone up for a game of Badminton?

I'll serve

I got it...I got it...

I will be twice as good with two rackets!

YESSSS!

MOM!!!!

Cuddling with Daddy on a chilly morning

Early riser
