August Swimming Lessons 2016

This year we had Nathan's 3 children, Thomas, Hunter and JJ, along with Tashina's Markus, and James at the Ranch for swimming lesson's in Cardston for the first 2 weeks of August! Oh man did that fill up the house and kept us all busy, busy! Kassie and Tiffany came with the kids to help out and Kelly(Grandma) came. It kept us all very busy, but I think the kids had a great time! We sure tried to make it fun for them.

Here were are at Bertha Falls!

They are happier than they look! Honest!

At the playground before swimming lessons! See Tiffy at the side of the slide! She is fun for the kids.

See, Tiffany is at the top of the climby thingy! Fun Fun!

JJ in Waterton! Oh what a sweet sweet girl!

These boys are so busy, no posing for pictures.

He was fun, sweet and full of tall tales!

Loved having the kids around so that we can get to know them!

They are busy as little ones can be and I hope they come again soon!

Wishbone Trail, Waterton August 13, 2016

Kelly, Kassie, Tiffany and I got to do a day ride in Waterton! We decided to ride the Wishbone trail that can take you up top of Vimy Mountain and/or take you over to Crypt Lake (if you want to ride that far and hard). We chose to ride over to what is called Wishbone landing, it is basically across the lake from the Prince of Wales hotel on Middle Waterton Lake. I thought it was a great discovery for me and a fun ride!

Here we are lunching by the lake, Tiffany, Kelly (making herself at home in between the girls) and Kassie! Vimy Mountain in the background. 

Tiffany with a view of the cliffs that were cool! We saw lots of kayakers here and we were even treated to a couple of boys jumping off those cliffs. Guessing that the cliffs are about 40ft tall. One of the boys did a fancy forward flip before hitting the water and the other just found the courage to actually jump! I was way to slow getting the camera ready to catch the jumpers.

My view of the ride, Tiffany leading on Yuno, Kassie in the middle riding Shasta and Kelly riding Zee, I rode Willow and loved the ride! It is so awesome to be in the mountains on horse back with the sun shining and the wind non-existant!

The horses picked up a gear or two on the way back to the trailer! Oh how I love where I live!

Love these ladies even more!

If there is a picture, then it happened, right?!
