This weekend my friend and I went for a day trip to Banff National park. We drove to Red Deer and took David Thompson Explorer Trail (hwy 11). Well I can't say I was impressed, the first half of the trip we didn't see anything interesting that we wanted to photograph. The second half of our trip was very good. It was a beautiful drive, we made some stops to photograph different lakes, and visited Moraine Lake. We got lucky with the weather, it only rained a little on the way back.

Because of my sunburn, the night was a little longer than I would have liked it to be. The weather was great and we had a relaxing and fun day. Everyone played more games and I had a chance to take some portraits. We finished the day by having some marshmallows by the fire.

It was a great long weekend and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

After a long night for some people (some tents were not as strong and nature took over, flooding them a little) the family had fun playing soccer, volleyball and many other games outside. In some way we were lucky to have a beautiful weather, but I wasn't so lucky, because I sunburned my face.

This weekend Tracy and I went to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for Tracy's family reunion. It was a 6 hour drive from Calgary and by the time we arrived some people were already there. We didn't really have much time to setup our tent because the sky started to change and it was going to rain any minute. It didn't make us wait very long, rain was pouring as soon as we finished with our tent preparations. The wind was so strong, I thought it would blow my tent away, luckily the tent stayed dry and in one piece. I slept like a baby that night and all I can say is ... earplugs! (my tent is 3rd from the right)

Tracy and I spent some time at the Stampede tonight. If you go to the Stampede, you must have the beef on a bun, its the best!! So much to do, so little time - so true about the Stampede. I'm pretty sure i'm going again for the day on Saturday.

Happy Canada day! What can be a better way to spend the day than to spend it in Banff national park? I woke up at 2:30am and drove to catch sunrise at Moraine Lake, I wasn't disappointed!

Tracy, Mandy, Sonny and I played some board games tonight.
