We had lots of fun traveling to Ottawa these past few days and are already itching to go back and visit! We did lots of fun stuff and took many photos. After a few days of all three of us visiting, Gordon had to travel back home to Idaho so he wouldn't miss too many classes. Brooke and I stayed 5 more days. On our return flights home, Chelsea (my younger sister) travelled with us and will be here for a month! Woo hoo! We love aunty Chelsea. AND, we got upgraded to business class on our flight into Salt Lake, so we got the comfy chairs, dinner, free movies, hot towels, the works! I'm telling you, its the only way to fly! It'll be hard to fly in coach again, thats for sure! Here are just a couple of photos from our trip!
Grandma and Grandpa Ernhofer with their great grand children! 
Great Grandpa Ernhofer holding Brooke, his 2nd great grand-daughter.
My entire family went to go feed some ducks and go for a picnic in downtown Ottawa on a freezing cold and windy day! We forgot our snuggli at home, so Gordon sat Brooke in his jacket to try and keep her warm!
Feeding the ducks
A family photo while feeding the ducks. Brooke looks almost surprised! Funny face!
When we have gone to feed the ducks in the past, we are lucky if we see swans, and really lucky if you see black swans! When we were throwing our bread to the ducks, the swans were stealing it! 
Everyone by the river
Just a cute photo I wanted to include of my 2 loves!
My cousin, Evan, holding Brooke at a family dinner.
My parents have a high chair that was a little too big for Brooke, so we had to put a pillow behind her and strap her in with a belt! Totally old school.

4 generations. We just had to get a photo like this. My Oma didn't make it to our wedding, so she and her beau, John, came up this time!
Me and my girls! Awesome friends from Ottawa that I grew up with! This was taken at Katarina's wedding reception. (From left to right, Abby, Brynne, Katarina, Lauren, Lindsey)
Camping at Algonquin Park was freezing, too! We only ended up staying 1 night cause we couldn't take it! This was taken one morning when we went for a stroll to the beach. Its really a wonderful place to camp and spend summers, except when its bitterly cold!
This is something we all grew up doing while at Algonquin- feeding the chipmunks. Zoe and Keegan especially loved doing it. Although, this year, the chipmunks were a little crazy! Like climbing the side of the kitchen tent, or sitting on our lawn chairs! They were quite the friendly creatures!

Fun trip! It was so hot here on the 4th, I would have loved the cold weather. We could have sent you some of the heat up there for the camp out. I love the picture of the 3 of you were Brooke looks surprise, she reminds me a lot of Zoe on that picture, maybe it's the cheeks? Miss you guys!

LOLO! Tell me you printed out that one of Gordon holding Brooke by the ducks. SO CUTE!
Sorry you guys were so freezing! But it must have been so wonderful to be back home.
