Summer in Canada 2015


The Summer of 2015

This entry will be a bit different, Emma is now assisting and is becoming a fantastic editor. This post is Emma's daybue. (YA!)

Summer came and went by so fast already,
Easton is officially taller then me and Mom :( haha. 

(On our way to China, our second leg of the trip we met a monk that didn't stop talking. never. ever. ever)






(Everett and his little friend walked and talked together all the way from Thailand to the US)






(Traveling for 2 days straight with no comfortable beds takes the gip out of you. Find what you can and make it work - is the way we travel. It was NOT comfortable if you were wondering. In LA waiting for a connecting flight to Calgary)




* The catching up begins*


(It's always a blast to catch up with friends and family. Loved seeing the Newmans!)






(A new baby in the family, a perfect excuse to get some of the crazy family together..haha. Elayna is sooo precious. Congrats Kelly and Emily)






(The Galbraith's always give a great show. Love our awesome pictures)





( Everyone keeps growing, fun to see)






(Every year driving to BC is interesting finding new places. Em found this awesome music poster in Cochrane conveniently beside Trent's favorite ice cream shop)





(We always look forward to the amazing views in the Rockies)





Congratulations Falon and Derek!

A super fun Galbraith side family wedding. My cousin Falon plus her man Derek got hitched this summer in Canmore. A fantastic reunion of most of us, just missing a few sadly. 
(It is always a treat to see my grandma, she is amazing for being in her 90's)





(Absolutely amazing view and stunning bride. The wedding was beautiful!)






(Bonnie, Harlow and Keidis picture perfect)





(Cousin love, had a blast with these hyper kids)





(Motherly - sister love. We danced our butts off)






(AHHH how I love this crew, so much to be thankful for)





(Looking great as ever, these guys know how to rock in style)
