My time visiting my cousin in the Yukon was just about perfect. We went on many little adventures, had a near death experience (at least that is how my story goes), we drank tea & chatted in the mornings . I got to share a special time with Candace and her husband :) We played many games of Settlers of Catan and just enjoyed each others compony. It was so wonderful and I think God for blessing me with the special month of friendship and fun! I hope you enjoy the pictures and captions below :)

| Enter Yukon Canada |
 |
| Carcross desert, the northern most desert |
 |
| Beautiful sand between my toes |
 |
| Yukon, larger than life - even the cinnamon rolls :) |
 |
| Wild strawberries, the most I have ever seen or picked in my life |
 |
Homegrown lettuce, wild strawberries, fireweed flowers and homemade lemon poppy seed dressing
Amazing! |
 |
| Sometime wonderful in the making... |
 |
| I had dreamed about this pie for a long time |
 |
Now it is in my hands, fresh & hot
Strawberry rhubarb pie! |
 |
| Candace's fireweed garden |
 |
| I love sweet wonderful flowers |
 |
| The lily pad lake at Candace & Riley's cabin |
 |
| Enter the local dump |
 |
| Which just happens to be a great wild life viewing area |
 |
| The bears like it there |
 |
| Along with bald eagles |
 |
| The young eagle lives at the dump too, along with the gulls & ravens |
 |
| Signpost, Keno. |
 |
| Hee hee:) |
 |
| Fresh snow in July, I loved it. Candace wanted to cry |
 |
| Admiring the Lord's handy work |
 |
| We spent a day floating the Mayo river, in dry suits |
 |
| Half way through the sun came out and we even got a little sun kissed. It was a beautiful day! |
 |
| Tombstone |
 |
| A very lovely place (but it does get a lot of rain)! |
 |
| I attempted to pan for gold, but alas I didn't find a thing and my fingers started to freeze |
 |
Allie & I... we decided to climb a mountain with loose rocks near the top. As Candace and I are trying to decide if we should attempt to keep going as we got closer to the top, all of a sudden the earth between my feet moves. I was scared! Knees shaking Alli (who was above me) and I move quickly to a sturdy looking rock as the ground slides under us.
Needless to say we turned around. |
 |
| It was an amazing view despite the rain |
 |
| Mrs. Moose |
 |
| A lovely place to camp by the river! |
 |
| Amazingly beautiful! |
 |
| On our last hike we made up a story about the little people who lived in these stump houses :) |
 |
| Hi baby |
 |
| I had a very wonderful time spending a month with Candace!!! |
 |
| All good things must end |
 |
| However, other good things were just around the bend :) |
