Camping in Jasper

This summer has seen a number of road and camping trips. Emily and I have camped in the south of the Okanagon, and taken a day trip up to Harrison Lake. There was a trip to Seattle earlier this year, and we've just come back from Edmonton. This most recent trip was particularly special as Emily got to visit her family for the first time in 4 months, and I finally got to visit Jasper...

A few of the funnier highlights from our trip...

  • Emily getting a complete pat-down search from Vancouver airport security.
  • Stella preparing an enormous list of activities (of which we only did three).
  • Timothy had a lot of fun climbing over rocks on our walk to the glacier. :)
  • Campfire! Again! Though there was no campfire in the morning, much to the "kids" disappointment.
  • Constructing an enormous screen house (as big as a van!) to have our dinner in.
  • Eating only a fraction of the food that we brought, and yet still being stuffed.

However, these "highlights" remain secondary to the main point of our trip: to see Emily, her mum and brother spend time together. And, of course, to check out the fantastic scenery in Jasper. I've uploaded selected photos as usual, so have a look. :)

Loved the photos. Brought back memories of last year. Auntie Dee and I were talking about Jasper the other day. It was an area we both loved and would have liked to see so much more.
