Today Susannah and I headed off for a girls weekend to Canmore - my favourite place in the world :)
We left the other children at home, but we did bring Rosie, because we're planning a weekend of hiking - as much as possible anyway :) Unfortunately Canmore got a good dump of snow on Thursday and the area is a bit of a wet, soggy mess....and as much as we've brought boots and plenty of socks, we were really hoping NOT to have to deal with too much of a wet and muddy mess...VERY different from last year in March when we were in Jasper and there was no snow at all!!
We stopped off on Gasoline Alley and found a quiet area for Rosie to have a run.....then we headed down to Balzac to the CrossIron Mills shopping mall....Rosie had another run there before we went shopping, and then another before we continued on our way!
The pictures above show the poutine I had for lunch at the mall - New York Fries do a Butter Chicken Poutine!!!! It was YUMMY!!! Totally unhealthy but delicious :)
The light is another picture I snapped in a store - this time in Urban behaviour - I love how some lights look in Instagram pictures :)
This was our third visit to CrossIron Mills....it was really quiet today. I still MUCH prefer West Edmonton Mall.....but maybe that's because I'm not really into labels and designer wear...or shopping!! But we did finally get Susannah some shoes - and I got a pair for myself at last - Rosie chewed one of my running shoes up about a year or so ago and I had never got around to replacing them...I'm not really a runners kind of gal - unless I'm running lol - but I really wanted some comfortable runners for wearing to walk Rosie when it dries up...and just around the acreage etc....and today I found the perfect ones. Soooo comfortable!! In fact I wore them the rest of the drive here and was so pleased to get my boots off.
I'll post a pic of Susannahs new shoes tomorrow - she loves them - I definitely made one very very sweet girl very VERY happy :)
