August Long

We spent the holiday on Monday at Waterton National Park. We are so blessed to have such beauty so close. We don't take the time to enjoy it enough! This time we had a picnic lunch, walked around and played a little in Cameron lake, saw the waterfall (as Moses insisted) and hiked a mountain! It sounds like a lot, but the day was so nice. The weather was perfect and the scenery beautiful. It was really relaxing and a lot of fun.

I know - great hair, right?! I normally try to avoid any even mildly unflattering photos of myself, but I had to include this with the amazing view from the top of Bear's Hump. It was worth the hike. Although you might want to ask Scott about that, he was the one carrying Kael the entire way up and most of the way down.

We weren't planning on swimming. In fact the weather forecast said there was a chance of rain. So we didn't bring suits. Moses and Kael didn't seem to notice!

While we were eating lunch this bird flew right up to our table and stole Moses' cherry. (He was mad about that later.) We thought it was so cool, we bated the next one. Kael kept putting more cherries out. I think we had 4-5 birds visit us. They weren't shy at all!

What is wrong with this picture? It just goes to show each of our boys personalities. Kael would rather walk, and Moses would rather ride. Unfortunately for them, it is easier on us parents if Kael rides and Moses walks, because Kael is prone to wandering and Moses always stays within arms reach. Life is never simple is it?
