Johnson Lake
I just realized that I hadn't posted about Johnson Lake! It is only the best little secret lake ever in the history of local secret spots. We took the canoe and swim suits and had an absolutely fabulous day. Here are many photos:

Fairmont
We had a lovely weekend at a friend's cabin in Fairmont, B.C. Rustle was able to join us this time, and SwimmingDog enjoyed himself immensely, especially at Columbia Lake (headwaters of the mighty Columbia River, no less!) I wonder how long it will take his hair to clog things up in Portland? Anyway, some photos...

Stampede
We took Nana and Papa to the Calgary Stampede this year. It was our first ever visit to the Evening Show ("The BIG Show") that had fireworks and daredevil motorcycle riders and circus acts plus singing and dancing. It was really quite impressive.
The weather, however, was not impressive during the day, so we spent more time than usual indoors. We noticed the old stagecoach and the man at the exhibit told us to climb in. We prefer our car.
The ladies also got new cowboy hats. Not these ones, because they wouldn't keep out the rain!

Gold Medalists
The Provincial Tournament of Champions wrapped up today. Sarah's team played very well, never losing a game, but the tournament wasn't about winning. Seriously. They didn't track games won/lost/tied, didn't keep score, and two teams from our division that placed second and third last were invited because they represented small communities. Really took the wind out of our sails for the tournament.
They did give each girl one of these lovely gold medals that say "Alberta Soccer Association - Tournament of Champions." Very lovely. They even had one for the team manager...
