This afternoon we went out to Canmore to enjoy some time together as a family. It is so beautiful out there! I was recently talking with a man from Spain - the group leader from Mar's group. He said that when he went out to Banff and saw the lakes and mountains he just wanted to cry because it was so beautiful. Made me realize I need to appreciate what we have here just a little more!
This was taken up at Spray Lakes:
This is something weird we noticed on a lot of the flowers on our 'nature walk'. They had this stuff that looked like shaving cream in spots. Hmmmmmm...
Peirce spent most of his car time trying to get his loose tooth more loose while listening to me read Matilda out loud.
Chico loves the extra time on my lap.
Jill wasn't too into the scenery. It's all about the last 150 pages of the last Harry Potter book. 'Nuf said.
We went and bought a bunch of food from the Sobeys' Deli and had a picnic and played in the park and then went on a nature walk.

While we were having our picnic this boy and his dad were playing bongo drums. The boy would sometimes play drums with him and sometimes run around with this ribbon. It looked so fun! We really enjoyed watching them.
Our nature walk....
Throwing rocks is a past-time that can fill hours! I tried to get one of Jill as well but right when I was about to take some great shots Allen spied a mother duck teaching her babies to dive and find food and that was much more entertaining....so off we went!
Peirce is really getting good at monkey-bars these days. I measured him this morning and he has grown half an inch since his birthday four months ago! Good thing it's summer and he can wear shorts all the time...most of his pants are floods.
...it was here that she put poor Chico on a rock surrounded by water...not fun for a dog that really isn't that fond of water...especially cold mountain water!
We had a really great day. It's fun to spend time all together and take a day off now and then. We don't seem to do that too much!
We finished the day off with some ice cream in Cochrane at McKays! Can't pass through Cochrane without stopping there!

Looks like a fun day. As for the "shaving cream" I've found some of that on a couple of plants in my garden - assumed something buggy was going on - were there eggs possibly being planted in that foam? Anyone know for sure?
You know, you're probably right...we'll have to do a little googling on that.
