Happy Daddy's Day Todd!

I arrived home at about 3:15pm to find the boys outside helping the neighbour weed her garden. Both were dirty so I immediately sent them to the tub!

At 3:30 I sent Spencer to Todd with a card and inside it read... (there was a bike stamped in the white space of the card)...
So we all piled into the Jeep and I plugged in the address into the GPS and off we went.

Finally we arrived at our destination...

Big Horn Helicopters!

Surprise Todd & Spencer! We're going for a helicopter ride!

The boys checking out the copter...

Spencer sitting in the back seat already to go!

Daddy sitting in the front seat glancing out the window as we take off from the heli-pad.

Glimpse of the condos and hotels along HWY #3 in Fernie.

Looking up HWY #3 towards Elko.

We zipped along the Fernie ski hill and spotted one of the chalets on the hill side. And YES... that's snow. We still have quite a bit here.

One of the bowls above the ski hill...

Another bowl...

Flying over Island Lake...

A green valley...

High above Fernie...

One of the only peaks we saw because of the low cloud cover...

LOTS of snow in the higher elevations. Evidence of a snow slide...

Another slide on the back side of one of the mountain sides...

A gorgeous glistening sheer rock wall...

Safe on the ground. Todd is in his front seat...

Thumbs up Mommy!

Our family!

Meet Stanley... our amazing heli pilot for the journey! He and Spencer got along like 2 peas in a pod!


Happy Father's Day Todd! We hope you enjoyed your little adventure!
