We recently discovered Gull Lake; it is a wonderful spot just before Red Deer with a great sandy beach, nice grass area for a picnic, a playground and of course an ice cream shack. We only made it out once last year, as the weather didn’t cooperate on the other days we had planned. This […]

Summer Holiday
Our summer holiday was all planned – take the boys to Banff to see the mountains then go onto Calgary to see the Calgary Zoo! Well all those plans fell through when Southern Alberta experienced a most horrible flood. So instead we turned our summer holiday plans into a stay-cation. We stayed at home and […]
Remember the summer heat?!
The Canada Day long weekend gave us a few wonderfully hot hot true summer days. While we normally make our way to the Alberta Legislative Grounds to enjoy the wading pools and everything Canada, this year with the heat, we felt we would stay closer to home and away from too many crowds. So we […]
Let’s Play Catch Up
We are half way through summer (even though it really doesn’t feel like summer — don’t get me started)…let’s start with the tail end of soccer season – the Tim Bits Jamboree. As from most of the soccer season we battled rain outs and why should the Jamboree be any different. We smiled through the […]

It’s a big leap for everyone, while it’s scary because it is unknown, it is also so very exciting to start something new! And it is official, Owen got his welcoming papers from his school […]

This year for Owen, we chose […]
Rides, Games and Army Tanks!!
We woke to the sun shining and bright blue skies, the perfect day for going to the fair grounds — Capital Ex! We started with the rides. There was the Merry Go Round, a couple rollercoasters, the cars and motorcycles and the Bumble Bee ride too! Then it was onto the games…Owen and Brandon were […]
Pancakes and Parades!
It’s that time again, time for Capital Ex (or as most of us lovingly remember it as Klondike Days or K-Days). Yes the line ups are long, the food is horrible for you and it is thousands of people but every kid HAS to experience it, right!? The pancake breakfast was put on at Mom, […]
