Playing Catch-Up Photo Style

It is more fun to show you my last month and a half than to tell you in my long-winded fashion.

I went to Minnesota for 38 hours and spent most of it on Pelican Lake with some of my favorite ladies.

My parents, my bro, Gareth and I all went to Montana's Glacier National Park for the infamous Tiffany Family Reunion where we...

Had Rubber Ducky races, (Me with Uncle Stan and my semi-finalist duck)

Ate, and ate, and ate,

went white water kayaking, (Dad being hardcore in an inflatable boat!)

took group photos,

went on perhaps the most entertaining hike of my life with my dad, Gareth and Uncle Scott to Siyeh Pass

and we hitchhiked back to camp from said hike because Eric left us without a vehicle. Luckily, it was the most beautiful day and we got to ride back on the Going-to-the-sun road in the back of a pick-up.

Then the family came to visit us in the Canadian Rockies! Dad and Eric and I went mountain biking in the rain and got a wee bit muddy.

Gareth and I had a pretty low-key August. In fact, I don't know where it went. We did, however, climb Mount Allen. This silly pic was taken at its summit.

I also picked a lot of wild strawberries last month! Most of them went straight into my mouth, but a few made it home for a photo.

And finally, we had Jake for most of the month. Here is his being his majestic self while on a picnic at Lower Kananaskis Lake on a lovely August evening. I want a Jake of my own!
