Happy Birthday Linda!

These photos are only 3 days old. We are trying to "be better" as Julianne would put it! :) Enjoy our photos from a trip to the Louisville Zoo. G. Paul is an awesome photographer.

Canada 2009



Here are photos from our trips to Whistler, B.C. and Banff, Alberta. We have some movies of our hikes and gondola trip but that will take some time to edit and share.

Both trips were great. G got to go mountain biking both places. Whistler was quite chilly but the adrenaline of going zip lining was enough for me. We also saw 2010 Olympic venues while there and they were pretty amazing. In Banff we got to see more wildlife as you will see in one photo and did an incredible hike up to near the glacier. At the end is a neat tea house which is also in the pictures. These crazy girls live out there 5 days a week with no electricity or plumbing and yet serve good food to the hikers. The weather was a bit warmer in Banff although not in Calgary for Stampede which was really really cold. I did enjoy the sun staying out until 10 at night and up at 5:30 in the morning.

Hana stayed with her grandparents both times which was so nice and we have pictures to show of her time there- thanks to Popsi who kept us updated. She will be staying with them again in a couple of weeks as we head back to San Diego for our anniversary.

Last but not least, since our last real post we need to say very happy belated birthdays to Ryan, Hillary and Grandma Hawkins. Also happy dad's day to all the dads. More photos and fun to come in August so stay tuned and thanks for reading our blog and keeping up with us!
