Dad's Travels

Dad's been traveling a lot lately. Three weeks ago he went to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Their "space needle" is actually the CN Tower, the tallest building or tower in the world. Then he went to Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada. This is the start (mile marker 0) of the Alaskan Highway.

Two weeks ago he started in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I went with him, just to be able to see him. We had so much fun. By the way, Heidi, they have an IKEA in Calgary!

The fall colors are already starting to change up there. Here, we decided to take a picture of us with the beautiful Canadian Rockies in the background. While Dad was focusing on me, getting ready to run into the picture, this Llama snuck up behind me.
Canada has such character! There's a pass and town called, "Crowsnest". Here's the giant statue. Notice how little the truck looks that is passing by. We saw deer and elk and actually saw a black bear cross the highway. It's funny because all while you're in Canada, there are signs that say, "Deer crossing," "Big Horn Sheep crossing," "Elk crossing," "Bear crossing," and then you cross the border into the states and the first sign you see is, "Cattle crossing." Here's the biggest truck in the world. Look close-Dad's sitting in the wheel.
He ended that week in a little town called Farson, Wyoming, population 350.

This week and last he went to southern California. Jonathan and Emily, do you remember when Dad took you surfing down in California? He went to that beach and thought of how fun that was.
