The North Country

 I grew up outside of Dawson Creek BC, which is about 650 km north of here.  A few weeks ago, Taylor told me that he would need to leave for work and that he would be gone about a week, so I took the opportunity to travel back home to visit my parents and my youngest sister.  This is the second time that Clara has made the trip, and she was very good.  We are fortunate enough to have wonderful friends in Valleyview (which is about halfway) so we were able to split the trip in half.  A three hour drive is much easier with a baby than a 6 hour drive.

Clara LOVES being outside, so we had a wonderful time walking the many trails on my parent's beautiful property with Lucy the dog and Linus the cat.  Clara saw her first beaver, as well as her first beaver-decimated forest. 

 

 Clara is so loved by her Grandma and Grandpa Hills, as well as her Auntie Leta, and it was wonderful for me to be surrounded by family instead of at home alone!

Thanks for a wonderful week!
