Preston and I had a fantastic time in the land of Canada this past week. We will share some of the highlights.

We went to Waterton, had a delicioso picnic, and played around the beach of this here lake (Waterton Lake).

Then we hiked to Bertha Falls. There were fantastic views (of the scenery) the entire hike. See?

We had an all-day 60th anniversary celebration for Preston's wonderful grandparents. We all look pretty happy after a tasty roast beef dinner eh?

Joy of all joys! I visited the largest Walmart in Canada. It looks small in the picture, but I need you to trust me on this one. It's huge!

We had a total blast at the Canada Day Parade in Raymond. I LOVE this parade, and look forward to it every year we're able to go.

Bear was out of his mind with gladness, because he had a massive backyard to play around in all week. He got pretty spoiled.

Here we are watching fireworks in the backyard. Sorry you can't see 'em, but I trust you to use your imagination. At the same time, I received a lovely new hairdo.
/>Now I conclude this post with this sassy pic of me out at the ranch. I have loads of more pictures, as you could imagine, and since I usually have little to blog about, perhaps I'll post more pictures of the trip later.
