welcome 'rents!!!

Mom and dad arrived the same week we welcomed Muggins home. Thanks for the help pup-sitting. They helped us suffer through her perpetual chew phase.

                                                 We took a trip to Jasper

                           Stopping to marvel at the receeding Columbia Icefield

     Looking at Pyramid Mountain (one of seven pyramid mountains in the Canadian Rockies).  This is one of Jasper's most photogenic sights. And two of Jasper's most photogenic people.

We stayed at Coyote Ridge in Jasper, which we will return to again when we ski Marmot Basin. 

We looked for wildlife on our trip and we found sheep, clusters of them sunning themselves and modelling for us.
I said to one of them "Quick! Staring contest me and you"...........

You win again, you always do.
That's why I come up here.

We saw a Moose swim all the way across Maligne lake. What an unbelievable sight.
Sean has a picture of a bear that swam by him in NWT, but I will save that story for him to tell you at a later time.
