Old Stomping Ground - Waterton

We headed down to Waterton National Park to spend the weekend camping with the in-laws.  The kids were pretty excited and I was happy to spend some time where I grew up.  It was typical southern Alberta weather - windy yet warm.  My parents and brother stopped by for a visit too.  Great time had by all.  Although I was pretty happy to come home to my shower!

Best quote of the weekend:

Grandma as we were sitting outside the 5th wheel, "There is something that really smells in the trailer and I can smell it all the way out here!"  Emily was sitting on her lap and I had just put a bit of tea tree oil on a mosquito bite so I asked, "Does it smell like Emily?"  "Yes!"  Apparently the scent of tea tree repulses her.  I now know what to get her for a stocking stuffer at Christmas.  :)

 Happy Canada Day!

 We took the kids on a canoe ride on the lake

 Lots of snow and 'ice bergs'

 This was cool - the ice broke up in front of us as we paddled through it
