Our First Family Vaca........ever.

Here we are - the first real day of our first real family vacation. Yesterday we drove up to Gooseberry Falls State park and set up camp. This is the morning after, where I am making some killer pancakes over a fire.
Hahaha Here is my Scout Master husband heading to the shower in his amazingly manly headlamp. Grrr.....
Here we are getting ready to see our first cool thing on vacation....
We went to the Split Rock Light house....

We piled up lots of rocks.....

We climbed up a BAZILLION steps...

WE toured the light house and met people in costume ( that seems to be a big deal up here)


I got mad and knocked down a tree....
I piled more rocks.....

We went to Gooseberry Falls and Levi had a total blast!


WE danced all the way back to our tent...
Levi trapped in the tent at bed time....
We headed into Canada!
WE saw some Native Canadians......
We pretended to be canoers....

WE inspected wagon wheels very closely......
And wildlife.....



Bye Bye Fort William!
Hello semi-precious stones!

Cleaning my new sparklies!

Literally, the gorgeous views were everywhere!

Canada had lots of beautiful sights like this!

Wow. I even forgot how pretty Kakabeca Falls were until we saw this again!

Going to Kakabeca Falls, which were pretty amazing!

Eating at a restaurant with my boys!

Levi learning to roast marshmallows.

Levi tried to skip rocks for the first time and failed miserably. He takes after his momma that way!

My studly little dude caught in a sexy man pose.
