Trip to Canada

 After driving two (12 hour) days, we arrived in Canada to visit Steve's family for the first time in eight years.  Here we are at Waterton National Park.

Noelle and her cousins Camille and Kaden.

 Fletchers on a boat.

 Noelle and Isaac played here while Laura and Lincoln hiked the mountain in the background.

 Enjoying the waterfall.

 

On the drive home, we were disappointed to see that there were no deer or antelope in sight, and that the skies were in fact cloudy and gray.  That song is a fraud. 

 Here we are sampling our Canadian contraband.

Canadian candybar taste testing.   Sweet!  (A little too sweet after about 10  minutes.)

Random Summer Pictures.

 Getting ice cream in downtown Iowa City.  Our goal this summer was to try out every local ice cream place. 

 Now this is the kind of driving I will allow my teenagers to do. 

 Noelle with friends at the park.

 Visiting the cheese factory.  We ate a lot of dairy this summer.

 Swimming.

 Getting dirty.

 Lincoln at scout camp.

 Laura at her flute lesson.

 More ice cream.

 Nauvoo fun.

 Yay for summer.
