I apologize for the lack of blogging but we just returned from our family vacation to Smithers. So instead of crafty pictures here are some of our holiday! We drove over 3000 km, and except for not wanting to see the inside of the van for a while, it was great! Avery and Kaden got to visit with their cousins, aunties, uncles, Grandma and Grandpa which was so great since we all live far apart. This is the kids at Twin Falls in Smithers, a short walk up to the most breathtaking waterfalls. Smithers is definitely one of the most beautiful little towns I have ever seen!
Here we are on the ferry from Takyzie lake where we met the family for a few days at a rustic little cabin/spot on the lake. Beautiful area, lots of fish and eagles, and fun times with the family. Avery caught her very first fish!! Kaden cried when it was bouncing around in the boat - poor little guy, hope he grows out of that as his dad would have a hard time taking him fishing if he cried every time!
Very excited little girl and very proud daddy. We even cooked it on the camp fire and Avery ate almost the whole thing! (Pretty good since I have never been able to get her to eat fish).
We drove through the Park to get to Jasper. It was raining but that's what rain jackets are for! Beautiful scenery! Lots of waterfalls and wildlife (sorry, didn't get a picture of all the bears we saw, but should have got one of the tourists standing on the side of the road with their children watching the bear eat!!) Fun times - thanks Sikkes clan!!
I love summer markets! Much to my husband's dismay (although he is a good sport and probably won't admit it) I could travel around all summer and just go to markets. I love supporting anything handmade. This year our Wild Women Craft group decided to put a collective table into the Canada Day Market. Check out our fun banner! Thanks to my crafty friend Athena and our 3 children (plus baby bump) we got it done in time for our debut!
We hand cute little girls dresses and skirts, sunhats, felted soaps, collaged pictures, banners, monsters & owls & SEW much more! It was a beautiful day and a great Canada Day Celebration put on by the City of Fernie - hats off to those that organized such a great day. And thanks to everyone who stopped by our table!
