We left in July and came home in September. No, we weren't gone three months, just all of August and a bit of the other two months.
We were on our way to meet our newest grandchild. Shiloh was born at bit early in mid-July. We got there as soon as we could. What a beautiful baby.
It wasn't really a holiday trip as we spent our time helping out with a new baby and keeping a 3 1/2 year old busy.

Second Beach on Pelican Lake. It was +30 for days on end.

In between was the Blueberry Festival, hiking, fishing, playing with clay and visitors from afar coming to see the new addition to the family. What a wonderful simple summer life.

Some hikes are more challenging.
A June wind storm had taken down quite a few trees along this trail. |
One of many...

En route to and from Sioux Lookout we spent some time in Killarney, checking in with Mom and Dad and hanging out at the farm.

| A little bit of boxing with Gross-Opa |
The little family from Sioux Lookout came along to Alberta to stay for a month or so. We convoyed with our RV and their old Buick with a car-top carrier full of all the gear needed for little people. It was good to make rest stops together.

| WE MADE IT! |
