And home.

Time flew by so fast this weekend, I was so sad to leave. We almost didn’t get to though, the rain started as we were packing up the car – we were worried we’d be stuck on the mountain as the dirt roads turned into mud, but we made it.

Here are some shots of the cabin I took before we left:

Rainy Mountains

The whole drive home was rainy, but we did okay. It sure is a lot colder in St. Louis than it was in Jasper. I’m ready for spring.

Jasper!

We made it to Jasper safely. Here are a few pictures from the drive down yesterday:

This morning, we woke up and messed around with the cameras a bit before leaving:

Best Rootbeer Float Ever

Huge Smiles

We picked up a tripod at one of the shops in town, and were playing with the delayed shutter here. I was trying to run and jump so fast to get in the shot that I ended up landing in the water with one of my feet. We were both laughing so hard in this shot – I was glad I brought my snow boots of I’d have been soaked.

One Wet Foot

I took about a bajillion other pictures too, and some of them can be seen here. I’ll be steadily uploading more in the next few weeks as film gets developed and digital shots are sorted through.

Urban Exploring – 2nd Edition

Today we went exploring again. It wasn’t as cool as the 1st place, but we couldn’t find the flashlights, so K said this was the best place to go with out them. I climbed a few things that I was pretty proud of for going through with it, and K climbed even more. He’s a lot taller than I am though. :)

Here are a few of my favorite shots. And Leslie, just for you, I’ve included one of us together.

Metal.

Cinderblocks.

Bundled up

"text"

This reminds me of Tetris.

After that we went to the dog park and Paisley finally got to see Maya again after like a year. They played pretty well, but the cold really energizes them, so Paisley’s already recovered from the day. Maybe tomorrow we’ll do something fun too.

Today was super nice out. So, I ran my errands and then Kevin, Paisley, & I went to Lone Elk Park. It was super awesome. Paisley had the best time ever. Here are a few pictures:

Rolling in smelly stuff.

Today was the best day ever.

I slept 12 hours, then did dishes. Got ready and did some freelance. Then Kevin picked me up and we went exploring. It was the nicest weather ever outside. And the places we went were amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Take a looksie:

Upstairs.

Sunlight.

Wandering.

After that we took Paisley to the barn to play with Twister, and had dinner at Jessie’s house. Paisley had an excellent time, and now smells terrible. I see a bath in her future…
