Adlai's first lost tooth

The tooth fairy visited us camping yet again. She makes frequent summer camping visits it seems. Adlai was very brave and very proud about the gap to grace his grin.

Heritage Park

 The caterpillar ride was by far the most exciting, even after nearly 100 years of being in operation.

 The Ferris wheel was pretty impressive in its height and speed.

Just hanging around.

Glenbow Museum

 It has been ages since I went to the Glenbow and the kids have never been so we spent the day downtown.

Their favourite sculpture was the moveable one. I loved the horse out of barbed wire and of course the Escher woodcuts.

Feliz

 Leaping in the ravine.

 Watching ominous looking clouds that thankfully did not deliver hail.

Adlai cuddles with Feliz - the guinea pig we are pet sitting.

Shadow dancing

Grandma Jan took us to Ellis Bird sanctuary to watch the purple martins and marvel at the pond critters and the flowers.

 On the way home we stopped for a walk and a shadow dance in Airdrie,

Vows on a bridge

 We fought off the mosquitos and hiked the Grassi Lakes trail.

 Ten and a half years ago Patrick and I got engaged on this little bridge.

The Show Must Go On

 Excited about the prospect of Stampeding, the kids don western gear.

 I always love the ag buildings and the horses.

 The kids tried their hand at milking Bessie.

We learned a surprising amount of information about draft horses and early farming.

Bowmont Park

 My little bears.
