We were excited to meet our Austin, Texas friends Blake and Jessa for a weekend of camping in Waterton National Park. They are the first of our friends from Guyana to come visit us in Canada (no pressure)! We caught up around the campfire and hiked the famous Crypt Lake Trail. Of course, dill pickle chips and Canadian beers were shared. We hope they enjoyed the visit as much as we did.

RobO gave me the best birthday present this year… a weekend backcountry camping trip! We had a beautifully cold 2 nights at Ribbon Lake in Kananaskis, complete with campfires, snow sliding off of our tent in the night, and the promise we can do it again next year. My heart grew three sizes that day.
