July was a wonderful month
















We traveled again, this time to Edmonton Canada for Joe's race and then for a little camping trip through Jasper National Park. It was so beautiful. We tent camped which the boys are a bit shocked by as we always have our 5th wheel. We had a few issues with the air mattress etc but got through it all just fine. The boys voted to get a hotel after two nights so we obliged by staying at the Fairmont Hot Springs Hotel which was a lot of fun although a bit pricey! Canada is not cheap but it sure is gorgeous. We took the gondola up Whisper Mt. in Jasper and then hiked to the summit. We paddled around in a boat on Emerald Lake in the Yoho National Forest. I also did a little shopping there and picked up a darling metal sculpture of a beaver who now resides on our front step!

I start my summer clinicals this Monday and then I will be in Marin on August 14th for a week before school officially starts on August 23rd. Joe and the boys will be in Marin too and stay a couple days longer than me. We look forward to seeing our family and friends in Marin and catching up as always.

Recent Events











We have been busy! We camped at Glacier National Park last weekend. We lost Talan's bicycle from the back of the trailer so he got a new bike which looks like a motorcycle. We had a wonderful playdate with Talan's classmates at his teacher Jessica's house. We went to Mason Paul's 5th bday party at the Fort Sherman park in CDA (where we had Mason's 1st bday party). Lots of fun and enjoying the summer weather which finally arrived in Northern Idaho! Oh and we tried to have our first sleep over with Tyler but he ended up wanting to go home at 10:30pm (thank God he lives next door)! Brianna McCarthy Sent from my iPhone
