September 23 - October 13, 2021 - Jojo Comes For A Visit

Family Shot (Missing: Ty 😞)

My dad has been here visiting for the last three weeks.  During that time we got out for a few hikes, and I wanted to catch them here.  It was great to show him some of the places we love so much, and it was inspiring to see him tackle them all in spite of his 75 years!!

Final Selfie Of The Trip

During his stay he saw some interesting things, and checked off a few bucket list items: bear, dear, elk, coyote, yellow larches, milky way, northern lights, hoodoos, badlands, Moose Mountain summit (see previous post), and a sunrise hike on his last day here.  We did allow him a few indoor activities to get some rest in between hikes: French wine and cheese tasting, Oktoberfest at the BavTav, breakfast at The Chuckwagon Cafe, Royal Tyrell Museum, Sam's hockey games, 2,3,4-man crib, Cranium, a couple games of Chinese checkers, and the world's largest dinosaur...

Can you Spot Jojo??

It was a great visit, but of course went way too fast.  Now it's time to plan outings and activities for the next time Jojo comes West to Bragg Creek!
