Camping for this family usually means lots of "exploring"! This is our way of getting the kids excited about hiking and learning more about God's wonderful and beautiful creation.

| Kevin and Jocelyn checking out the scenery at the start of the paint pot walk. |
This was a walk out to the Paint Pots. I don't remember the exact science or geological information about them but their are minerals in the ground that turn everything orange and produce something called ochre. This was and can still be used as a kind of paint.
 |
| Using the ochre to make a picture in their Explorer books. |
 |
| Kendra snapping a beautiful picture! |
Our next walk was out to Flow Lake where the kids had to do a scavenger hunt. This area had gone through a forest fire a few years ago. It was amazing how much new growth had already come back!
As part of the Ranger program, they had an afternoon of bug investigation at a local pond. Kendra was in her element!
 |
| Our future park ranger! |
 |
| One of many big horn sheep we saw right along the road. |
Our last hike was out to Dog Lake. This was a bit of a longer one but absolutely beautiful!
 |
| I love a good long suspension bridge! |
 |
| Exploring we will go! |
 |
| Stopping for lunch, although I think the mosquitoes had US for lunch! |
 |
| Our crazy little girl! |
 |
| Finally, a photo by Owen of the two of us. |
Of course, this is only a small snapshot of our 2 week adventure. We thank God for our family, for safety, for His Creation that we are blessed to live in and have the chance to discover and explore!
