lets-go-yurting
we spent a may weekend at a yurt in pigeon lake provincial park — i didn’t take many photos of the actual yurt as we were too busy out exploring, but it was a fantastic experience and would definitely be a great intro trip for anyone who wants to give camping a try but isn’t quite ready to pitch a tent. the kids especially loved the giant bunk bed, the beach and playground, and of course, the campground ice cream shoppe!

ps. i’ve been waiting to share this so it would coincide with some info from my pal kelsy who has just launched an awesome kids’ travel blog — go check out her post for a ton of info about their yurting adventure and exploring with little ones!

0715the kids and i took a quick trip to vancouver to shoot a couple of sessions and visit with friends and family. other than for work, i pretty much only pulled out my camera this once, so pardon the little lag in photos while we enjoyed a bit of a slow down. no matter how brief our time there, it’s always so nice to get to dip our toes in the ocean when we head out west!

cardboard-box-party

black storm clouds loomed in the distance, light rain fell from the sky and crazy winds kept knocking down my little box city, but i was determined that oscar’s first birthday be the backyard party i had envisioned from the start. the crazy weather combined with a wee case of procrastination-itis kept most of my more ambitious ideas from coming to fruition, but in the end, the sun came out, the birthday boy had a great time, and we were surrounded by so much love and laughter that “what was” was just as special as “what could have been”. huge thanks to everyone who joined us, and especially to our friend rob for surprising us with this amazing video of the festivities (seriously! his tiny camera is so inconspicuous that i thought he was just snapping a few photos) and more than making up for the fact that i hardly picked up my camera all day.
