Canada Day 2: Sunshine Meadows, Horseback Ride and Cave and Basin Lantern Tour

We took a 25 minute gondola ride, and a chair lift up to Sunshine Meadows.  It was like being in another world up so high above the clouds, but with higher peaks in sight.

We saw three male elk.

We hiked down to view one of the lakes up close.

The loooong way down.  So cool.

Dalton, Maggie, Kaity and I went on a horseback ride along the river.

Lantern tour into the cave. The cave was small, and the tour was cheesy, but the kids thought it was fun.

Looking for Banff Snails in the Basin.

Canada Day 1: Grassi Lakes

Family summer vacation in Canada!

 The first night, we went for an evening hike, leaving the little kids back at the airbnb with Maggie.

The Grassi Lakes, just outside of Canmore, were so colorful and beautiful!

Skydiving

For Maggie's birthday, we took the family indoor skydiving.  It was great! 

Arthur skydiving was pretty much the cutest thing ever.

First Day of School

First day of 7th, 4th, and 1st grades

And first day of preschool!

Swim Team 2019

Another successful swim season.  The kids got a lot of Heat Winners, Sienna was a 5/6 butterfly queen, Dalton put in tons of extra effort,and even Maggie had fun.

LA Zoo and Griffith Park

We met some friends at the LA Zoo this summer.

The highlight was getting to feed a giraffe.

There was lots to see and climb on.

As long as we had driven all the way up there, we did the Griffith Park pony rides.

And checked out Travel Town.
