last weekend (not this past father's day weekend, the one before) we did our first camping trip of the season. it was also our first time with both kids in tow. i still can't believe how much stuff our two little people require for two days and two nights. somehow we managed to pack everything into the tent trailer and headed west to johnson's canyon in banff national park. i don't want to mention all the things we forgot, but to be fair this was the first trip out and we consider it our trial run. we've now started a master camping list in the hopes of forgetting fewer things in the future. kinda hard to roast marshmallows and hot dogs without your roasting sticks.
liam had a blast running to see the trains as they passed by (got a site close to the tracks just for that reason) playing in the forest and visiting the waterfalls. he's still talking about them and tells pretty much anyone who'll listen that he saw trains last night. and averie girl was more than happy to be held in someone's arms for the entire weekend ... thanks gramma, auntie nix and uncle scott. for us, there's nothing better than camping in the mountains with friends and family. seriously one of the best parts of summer.
You are a brave brave mama, well done : ) I love Johnson's canyon, such a beautiful spot!
