Months and months ago we the Hinko peeps planned a family get-a-way in Jasper. When things went crazy with my dads health this spring, we feared that our mountain vacation would be very different. Being there together was almost surreal actually, being together.
We decided to be a little crazy and went white water rafting!!!!!
It was pretty intense and yet cool. They level rafting 1-6 and this was a 2.5, it was pretty much the max of what I was comfortable doing. Everyone enjoyed it and I am actually kinda proud of us all. My parents waved us off and welcomed us back.
Each evening we hit up the hot springs and it was lovely. My parents and siblings stayed up at Miette Hot Springs and we camped down the mounting at the Pocohonatas Camp Ground in our trailer. We had dinner at my parent's cabin each night and then changed into our swimsuits. We would visit, laugh and the kids would swim. Some blissful moments, crazy too with everyone but blissful!
The girls might say the highlights were the animals, they are animal lovers after all.
We checked out Athabasca Falls and goodness do we live in a beautiful country!
A little Pyramid lake before we left the mountains.....oh can't wait until we get to go again.
Our final night we had a little family devotional and the nerd that I am had to get everyone this sign. We CAN DO hard things, we can do hard things as a family! We have the Lord and we have one another.
