At the end of July our family headed down to southern Alberta to take in the summer festivities in Glenwood, and to enjoy the beauty the land.
We pulled our tent trailer down and as usual, it gave us a story to tell. Dad must have overloaded the trailer and the rubber on the wheels wore off on one wheel so it was basically bald. Mom said not to worry we will make it to our destination because we prayed. Well Dad felt the need to change the bald tire at Brooks. He put the spare on and we traveled to Lethbridge. We pulled up to Terra and Ryans house and dad looked at the tire and almost died. All the lug nuts were off and the rim was just floating there. Wowsers. So dad had to order a new hub and new wheel and do some repairs in the street.
Some of the awesome things we did:
Kalinda and the kids went to "writing on stone" near Milk River with her sister and her kids.
Mom and Dad went to Blairmore to a bed and breakfast to have a get away from the kids to celebrate 15 years. The Host gave us a bottle of wine, and we had a traditional swiss continental breakfast. Cheese, sausage, yogurt, fresh baked bread.
We did a ton of swimming
We took in the pioneer days in Glenwood and it was epic. The fire works were good, and everything else was lovely. Scored heaps of candy in the parade and got a little wet as well.
One of our favourite things we did as a family was travel to Blairmore with our bikes and bike from Blairmore to Coleman, hike the coalminers path, bike back to Blairmore, eat a ton of pizza, then go swimming. Super fun Day.
We were blessed with some great weather. Hot and Sunny. It was so great that we got the itch to move back south again. Mom and Dad went to look at a few houses in Magrath. Kalinda's Mom and Sister Terra have now moved there and that has really increased our desire to move there.
