Canada or Bust

Canada, what can I say? WHAT A BLAST! Thanks to Mom & Dad who started this crazy family and stayed married for 50 years:-) So we (all 42 of us) rented a lodge near Waterton National Park in Alberta Canada for almost a week, and what fun. Highlights...well there was Waterton of course, which included a hike up Bear's Hump, of which Jana only got half way before calling it quits. Dave and Alison continued on for awhile longer, but succumbed to the steep climb. Then there was the hike around the Cameron Lake area (still in Waterton) where we got to see a momma & baby moose, and lots of fun fishing and enjoying the amazing views.

Then there was the "Ode to the Cause" night in which Jason treated us to a DVD of pictures put to music, using his amazing talents at editing & creating. Then there was talent night...can I just say that I truly have the most talented family ever! Between the singing, piano playing, and other odd talents, we laughed and definitely cried the night away. We can't forget about water balloon volleyball, and the croquet games!

Then there was Montana...always entertaining! Alison was blessed by her grandpa Anderson at Aunt Donna's house, and had most of her family there, which will be a memory we won't forget. Then of course there was the baseball game, (Alison loved watching the game with grandma) and the family games of croquet, frisbee and soccer. We are so blessed to have such an awesome family, and we miss them so!
