Great Long Weekend

Had a Great Heritage Day weekend in the city, lots of picnics/eating outdoors as the weather was really great.

We visited Calaway Park and Chance stood in line for an hour and a half to do the log ride with Cam. Karin and I rode the merry go round 3x, the boats & balloon ferris wheel type ride. After the log ride, Chance and I did the Viking Ship and then a pod-type whirly thing that made me scream genuinely.

We had a great visit with our friends in Okotoks and enjoyed their neighbourhood lake and a tasty BBQ afterwards. We also took advantage of the splash park downtown as well as stopped in to view the city skyline from the 35th floor of Banker's Hall (Mommy's office). Chance thought that was pretty cool, along with getting a blue slurpee from the machine in the employee lounge.

Cam and I squeezed in a 5 km run in some pretty hot weather, plus took Chance for a fair bike ride with a stop at the river to cool off (Mommy jumped right in, it was THAT hot!).

Other highlights....on Tuesday we completed an 11 km run, was pretty happy with that distance! Seem to have injured my chest a bit though, so need to take it slower/easier for a few days. Filled in the dead spot in the garden with some marigolds. Not sure what got the sprouting beans, frost or worms...I'm thinking frost, as the ones that did come up are awfully stunted. Probably won't get a harvest off them. Saw the last Harry Potter movie (AND the preview for the newest Twilight installation....eek!) Got Karin in to see optometrist as she caught Chance's pink eye and we used up all our drops....Cam cracked that we need this stuff in 4 gallon buckets, not 3 mL droppers...the doc thought that was funny.
