Carrick to Calgary

It's Monday 24th July, 11:19pm, and we've been in Edmonton for almost a month. We've been so busy, so many jobs to do and so many things to sort out that it's flown past like it was only a few days. Which accounts for the lack of blogging - I suppose that it's one thing to be busy with stuff and another thing to find the time and energy to stop and write about doing things. But we promise to try harder! Over the last few days we've been starting to settle into more of a routine, so the blogging should become a little more regular.

All of which leads to the question, why are we still using Carrick to Calgary, when we're in E-Town? Well, there are a few things to tidy up here before we go, mostly photos which we uploaded but never got around to describing, so here goes with the first of the tidy-up posts. More will follow.

The first lot are from a wee while ago, when there was still snow on the ground and we took a trip out to Allan Bill Pond in Kananaskis:

Guess Who?

Stiil mostly frozen pond, perfect for the new sport we invented, ice-skiting, in which you have to skim (or skite) a stone out to the very edge of the ice as close as you possibly can without plopping it into the water. A lot like skimming a stone, except for the water being frozen. Plus it doesn't skim once it hits the ice, it just sort of skites along.

Great skiting surface

Rabbit track central (now we have a squirrel!)

Crazy man tracks

Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it, snow on Tuscarora?
