Okay so here is my attempt at posting some pictures:

Ash fishing at Allstones Lake on our back country camping trip. They didn't catch any fish that day, but they did the next day. It was like a 3 hour hike in and 2 hours out. (We had visions of the Banff hotsprings on our way down so we went faster!) It was a pretty fun trip.








Beth and I on the hike in, don't we look excited...you should see the pictures on the way back down. (I won't post those!!)










Ash and Jon with the spit they made to cook our roast on. The roast had been marinating in Jon's pack the whole way up. It was really good and we were really hungry.
















Here is the view across the lake in the morning!! It is such a nice place. On a random note, they have backcountry toilets which were little green toilets in the middle of nowhere. There were no walls or anything around them just out in the bush. The guys thought we were wusses for using them but ah well.





Okay and here are some pictures from Dinosaur park two summers ago. My sister worked there so we went with Jon and Beth to visit and check out the camping:



Ash and I putting up our tent. I think Jon was talking to Ash as he was taking the picture. There is a little creek that went past our campsite. It helps to have connections ( my sister saved us a good site).










Yummy Yummy marshmallows!!! That is the best part about camping!!












Here are Ash and I on our hike!! It is a pretty cool place. We saw a lot of interesting animals and real dinosaur bones/fossils. It was about a 4 hour hike but it was pretty fun.










This is what I felt like on the way home!! Beth and I slept while Jon and Ash entertained themselves by taking pictures and laughing at Beth and I. Those two are bad news together- they were roomies at Bible School (need I say more?)









So, those are all the pictures I have for now. We haven't taken too many lately but we are determined to get better! Once I have some more I will post them.
If anyone wants to come and visit us here in Alberta there are lots of fun things to do as you can see and we will take you out to all the cool places.
Ash just started at a counseling center and he is developing an adventure therapy program for teenage boys and they are going on their first trip this summer. It should be an adventure for everyone! We will have to go camping to the site first to check it out so Ash knows the terrain and exactly where to go, etc. We might go with another couple from his work.
Anyway, come visit this summer! We will take you on an adventure!!

Valentine's Day

So today is the day after Valentine's Day! We didn't celebrate it as we never really do. There has always been so much around Valentine's day that we don't celebrate it. Sometimes I just think it is a commercial holiday intended for spending more and more money! Anyways, what does everyone think? Good holiday or pointless holiday?

PS. Thanks everyone for the comments, I just figured out how to find the comments and publish them! Ha! I am slowly figuring this blogging thing out.
