Lake O'Hara

We spent two glorious days at Lake O'Hara with our good friends Mark and Carmen when I was 36 1/2 weeks pregnant. It is considered a backcountry campground but we were spoiled with a bumpy 11 km bus ride up a dirt road to our camp site. Ethan wanted to drive the bus but was actually a little scared once the noisy bus started up. The camp ground was quite nice with filtered running water, a fire pit with chopped fire wood, and two cooking shelters. We managed one 6 km hike up to Lake Oesa with Ethan taking his nap along the way. Ethan was quite the character in the tent at night talking up a storm (not used to having mom and dad right beside him to go to sleep!) All in all, it was a beautiful weekend and we didn't deliver baby #2 in the woods:)

Grandpa & Grandma Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Green and Uncle Adam came for a visit in August. While they were here they helped us build a wall to convert our loft into a third bedroom. We were wishing we had taken more pictures of the process but Ethan was right in there helping everyday wanting to drill, hammer and paint right along side us. We didn't have awesome weather while they were here but we did manage to get out to the park several times and spent a day in Canmore. To see more pictures of the visit see our Picasa album link on the right of the blog.
