Thunder Bay Pics

Just a few pics from Thunder Bay.
The first picture is from my Auntie Karen and Uncle Jerry's camp at Lake Superior. You can sort of see the sleeping giant in the back. The second is of Mike, his brother A.J. and our nephew Brandyn looking for crayfish. We ended up finding a ton. The last two are from our fishing trip to Dog Lake resort. I will post more when I get back to Calgary :)

Great Start to the Holidays

It has been a great last two weeks. Mike and I had a fantastic time with his parents and are so happy that they were able to make it down to Calgary this summer. The first week we were out and about in Calgary. We went to the Farmer's Market, shopping at Cross Iron Mills, walked around Prince's Island Park, went to the Calgary Zoo and drove out to Banff for a day. Mike and his dad also went on a very long bike ride downtown and back.

At the beginning of the second week we headed to B.C. with Mike's parents to visit friends. It was a very long drive, but very beautiful. Mike and I went to Granville Island, Grouse Mountain, Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium. On our last day in Vancouver we went to White Rock. I loved being near the ocean and it made me realize how much I miss being around water.

After driving back from B.C. we spent some time relaxing and playing games. Mike's parents headed out to Banff and Lake Louise and we ended off their visit going to the stampede. Here are a few pics from our trip to B.C.

Busy Summer Ahead

Hey everyone,
It has been a while since my last post. It has been pretty hectic the last few weeks. Looking forward to enjoying some time off and seeing family. Two more days left of work and then we are free! We are excited to have Mike's parents visit us at the end of the week. It will be nice to have them see our house and show them around the city. We are then heading to B.C. together for a few days. Then we will be heading home to Thunder Bay July 21 for a few weeks to spend some time with my family. We are excited to spend time on the lake. Last year was the first summer we missed at home. So it will be really nice to be back. I have a feeling July is going to fly by. I will try to post pictures throughout the month - I am sure there will be some great ones! Fingers are crossed that we have great weather this summer :)
