August Road Trip Day 2

August Long weekend got a lot better the next day.  

This girl slept remarkably well even despite 

the incline and the squishy tent.

I admit the next morning our campsite 

was picturesque and quiet. 

What a difference a nights sleep can make.

We biked back out to the van and trailer to get some breakfast.

Ms. C had a much better attitude about the ride this time.

There was plenty of fun to be had while we ate breakfast.

 Then off we went to hike Powderface Ridge.

13 &1/2 KM

Half way up we decided to stop and eat our delicious sandwiches from,

 

They were super yummy and a great treat on the trail.

Ms. C munched on grapes the whole time.

 

The meadow was filled with flowers.

Ms. C was only sorta impressed with her 

last hike in that backpack.

We can finally see the top.

 

Then Dad headed to West Bragg Creek to Do some biking.

 Which ended up being the end of his bike.

We did some of our own exploring and splashing.

Best way to rest my feet after a hike, in the cold creek.

 

 When Shane finished his ride he joined in the splashing.

We headed back into Bragg Creek after because 

Shane's bike was malfunctioning after his ride.

We went out to a super cute restaurant in Bragg Creek. 

The Italian Farmhouse Restruant and Bar.

(Happy Early Anniversary!)

 

The patio was delightful and the food was delicious.

 

 We headed back to the tent after supper and 

enjoyed reading in the quiet.

Turns out after all that the derailer on Shanes Bike was not fixable.

We walked into the tent that night, which caused 

a bit of a stir among the dirt bikers.

Good Lads who wanted to be sure we weren't in any trouble.

August Road Trip day 1

August Long Weekend

So we had a wild plan to mash our anniversary 

and a trip to grandma's house all into one.

Step one, Drive the kids to kaninaskis and try to find a campsite.

This was mildly annoying, there was nothing, it's august long.

Good thing we're meeting Grandma Cathy at the park for lunch.

We made some stretch stops and enjoyed some fun discoveries.

 

Like a birds nest.

 

After Meeting Grandma at the park Ms. C 

and I waited for Shane to show up.

 

Nap central in the back of the van.

 

Walking around exploring Mclean Creek Day use.

 

Fruit and Cheese Buns for lunch.

 

 Then down by the creek to throw rocks.

 Bored, Tired and Stuck wating.

Eventually we make it to a spot Shane likes.

We bike in.  Mrs. C kind of enjoys the ride.

But she's tired like me.

I'm too tired to care.

Tomorrow will be better.

Let the adventure begin.
