A week of July firsts

Emmett celebrated his first Canada Day with his first hike in the Rocky Mountains. He dragged his parents up to Wilcox Pass, where they braved snowy July conditions to catch a view of the Athabasca Glacier.

Unfortunately for Emmett, his parents are still new to hiking with an infant. Fortunately, they are extremely creative, and managed to find some hand warming devices in their backpacks. Even if they do make Emmett look like a dork.

July 1st activities in Jasper included a riveting Canada Day parade, complete with floats, Canadian Mounties, and an airport fire truck.

Emmett and his parents rounded out their Canada Day celebrations with another hike, this time with Auntie Clare, up to the top of Whistlers Mountain.

Once again, Emmett was riveted.
