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.

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.
