Happy Birthday Canada, You don't look at day of 100!!!!!
What a busy Canada Day long weekend.
      Sunday afternoon I left Calgary around 1:30 and headed up to Glennifer Lake to hang out with Rose and friends.  Rose's place had been converted into a PJ party complete with games (Heads Up), theme song (Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke), food (it's easier to name what wasn't there), beverages (beer and vodka), entertainment (dancing toe lights) and of course great friends (Rose, Mylene a.k.a. Lynn, Tess, Juantia and myself).  We finally heard the last of the talking at 3:00 am. Monday morning.  With very few "nighttime" interruptions (pee breaks and snoring) the group was awake and up at 7:00 a.m. (there was a parade to prepare for)
  We headed to a nearby town for the Canada Day celebrations.  Luckily Rose was a great organizer and we had the boat and golf card, parked in line and decorated with lots of time to spare before the start of the parade.  You've got to love small town parades.  I remember attending Carmangay parades as a kid and then when Ashley and Patrick were small, we lived in Lloydminster and Estevan.  There is just no replacement for the warmth and hands on you get with the small town atmosphere (and the fact you can get lots of candy thrown from the floats)
  A little down time after the parade and I headed back to the city for a much needed nap.   I haven't shared a lot of details because what happens at Glennifer Lake, stays at Glennifer Lake (unless it gets posted on Facebook or my Blog!!!!)

So while I was off have fun with the girls, Ashley was busy working at a horse show.  Luckily with all this nice weather she has been able to ride her new acquisition!

And Patrick has been keeping busy as well.  Saturday he and his cousin Susan and a group of friends headed to Edmonton to compete in the Spartan competition.  Sounds like they had a blast.  Patrick said it was soo much fun, he's hoping to compete in the Calgary competition in August.

Then Sunday, Patrick and two friends headed to High River.  One of their friends Grandfather has (had) a home there that was in dire need of some clean-up.  That's what they spent their Sunday doing.

So the long weekend is over; Tuesday is just hours away, and the weather is beautiful.  The next count down will be for the Flotts arrival to Calgary.  8 days and counting.!!!!!!!
