a perfect day
Over New Years Derek had Monday off so we made the most of this and headed up the ski hill for some sliding. First we enjoyed a yummy lunch in the lounge and then spent the afternoon playing in the snow.

meet Aussie
Our new puppy. Friends of ours had puppies and we couldn't resist this little guy. we named him Aussie. Katie is loving her new little friend. Derek and I are also falling in love with him. He's so gentle and already knows easy commands like come and stay.

Holiday up North
The beginning of September saw us taking a holiday up north. Some might think we live far enough north already but we are always up for an adventure and we love the open spaces and fresh air.
The night before we had to make the hard decision to put down our dog Max. He had the week previous attacked a salesperson and the guy was asking for us to pay for his coat. This was kinda the last straw. While Max was an excellent companion for Katie he was also a real nuisance, chewing on everything and anything. And lately he was becoming extremely defensive especially around Katie. We miss him but we also realise how much work a dog is and for now we are ok without one.
wild horses on the way to Telegraph Creek
we saw a lot of this on this trip. as fuel stations are far from each other
I gave Derek a bit of a break from all the driving
Lake Kiniskan
the first bear we spotted
Tahltan River
Watson Lake
the cabin we stayed in for two nights
Katie turned 4 while we were on holidays so the presents came along!!
the signpost forest
S.S Klondike
someone went to great lengths to be comfy...
Derek kayaking by the cabin we stayed at on Watson Lake

why we ventured this far north, Liard River Hotsprings. Just amazing and so so relaxing!! it was deep enough for Kates to walk in so we stayed in here for many many hours.
