Canada II (loads of photos)

Since Max's job didn't start for another month and a half after graduation (and because we hadn't sold our home yet so we were sort of just hanging out in Iowa), we decided to make the trek up to Scott and Pat's lodge in Quebec again. I mean, we're twice as far now that we're in Utah. This time we did the driving in one very long day--15 or 16 hours I think. Cheaper and only painful for one day rather than two. However, we'd readily do two 15 hour driving days because of the destination.

We kayaked to rocky points where we picked wild blueberries (our pirate treasure we hid in the hull).
Wyatt did this at least 3000 times during our 5 days there. He was much braver than just a year before when it came to jumping off the dock and swimming around.
Max kayaking the Kipewa with Uncle Scott.

And we all had fun at Grand Chutes--Emmett came with us, just didn't do any of the jumping.




Plenty of ping pong.

More kayaking....

and swimming...and frog catching...

Seriously--wouldn't you drive 15 hours for this?

And this is how every day ended--happily exhausted!

Thanks Scott and Pat for letting us come up on such short notice and for your hospitality while we were there. Our boys say they want to move to Canada...can you blame them when this is what Canada means to them.
