Jasper Getaway

Stan and I went to Jasper in the middle of June to have a break from the kids and to remind ourselves that we are still friends and we like being married. It was awesome. We didn't do too many exciting things. We stayed in Hinton, just outside of Jasper because it was way cheaper. We went into town and walked around the townsite, had a yummy lunch, and sat in the Miette Hot Springs for 2 hours. We were supposed to go on a hike but we were both so tired and I was having shin splints in one of my legs. It was so nice to just be lazy and talk. We probably had the most fun talking. We don't make time to do that enough. We are committed to having outings like this at least twice a year. Everyone who is married needs to do it!

This is me in a wildlife preserve, provided by the city of Hinton for people to enjoy. They built boardwalks all through the marshes so you could see a beaver's habitat and other things. It's really peaceful and nice.

This person's house had several antennae on the back. We walked past his driveway to find this ghostbuster car. The sign on the side says "Our service takes you out of this world." Notice the antenna on the car. We thought it was funny and wondered what kind of business he runs. (Also in Hinton, AB)

This was our bed and breakfast. Nice suite, lots of room, very countryish.

These mountain goats or whatever they were, were licking underneath the backs of buses, all taking turns. Interesting.

Happy 4th of July

Our friends were nice enough to come over and party with us and take this picture.

Who wouldn't come for such a yummy dessert. I created this all on my own. It was delicious AND healthy!

Look at my baby! She is growing up. She loves this swing that she got for her birthday.

My pretty girls. Sometimes they are really glad to be sisters and to be cute together.
