Pictures from Maligne....
These pictures were taken halfway between Maligne Canyon and Maligne Lake on
struck by lightning......
We have power and a phone line again...turns out we were struck by lightning on Sunday night...the phone connection box downstairs is fried...all black.....
We were soooooo lucky...could have been so much worse...none of us even heard lightning...or felt anything...could have been a fire...could have fried the new furnace..could have been a fire...but just a power cut and loss of phone for the day.....VERY lucky!

lazy start to the week..
I've done very little today...threw in some laundry....cleaned out the goldfish bowl...and sorted through 1000 photographs from our weekend....I didn't crawl out of bed until 11am...our power went off this morning and the telephones haven't worked all day...still aren't working.....no idea why.....
I'm making spring rolls at the moment with rice and Thai vegetables...thats dinner and then Lloyd and I are going out for coffee as we have some errands to run.....
If I have a chance later I will add some pictures...but I am up to 97% of my picture allowance with Picasa so it may not let me add many....I have paid for a year of extra space but so far it hasn't added the space to my account.....and its been almost a week :( I'll figure something out I guess......
Have a great week everyone!

YES!!!!!!!
We came across this very cute and cuddly teddy bear on our drive up to Maligne lake.....like any stupid tourist I HAD to get as close as possible to get a picture....got within about 8 - 10 yards :) I wanted to bring it home to add to ur menagerie of pets but alas we had no room in the car......
We just got home and I am utterly exhausted...had a FAB few days in the Jasper area....so so many picturs to sort through and add...so I will be boring you silly with endless pictures over the next few days....but for now I want to colapse in the bath and I want to sleep for the next couple of days...I have never driven so far and walked so much and seen so much in my LIFE...I have new found appreciation for all the driving Lloyd does normally...being the driver all weekend was so tiring but I am so proud of myself :)
As we turned the corner onto our road just now my Mom said 'theres your home...isn't it nice to be home?'.....and I had to say...'I don't care about home - I just want to see Lloyd'........I missed him soooo much!

Charlie and Amber cooling off.....
..after our walk on Tuesday...Rosie headed straight for the pond but Amber and Charlie headed to the childrens pools to cool off....
Nature walk.......
A few pictures from our walk on Tuesday afternoon......Charlie followed us despite the heat and was obviously exhausted and as soon as we got back to the house she collapsed in Sams paddling pool to cool off!!!!
Thursday.............
Today I need to do some laundry and get packed for our weekend away in Jasper...we leave early tomorrow morning......I suggested 6am but Lloyd said it would be better to go after 9am....so we shall see how I feel in the morning....
Mom and I are going into town - she wants to buy some runners and I want to get some shorts and also some candy etc for the kids in the car tomorrow...
After that we are going to Millennium Place to the running track...Mom is going to walk around the track while I run....
I also have to empty the camera cards so they are ready to go tomorrow and charge the camera too.......
Apart from that I plan to have a quiet lazy day....enjoy the coolness of the house as they say it may get to 32c today......

Tucking in.....
Everyone getting stuck in with the Canada Day cake :) oh and Abigail deciding the frosting worked better as a Santa beard lol!
Wednesdays news......
It's Wednesday......hump day.....it was an ok day....
The weather is still gorgeous.....but have to say I am LOVING our air conditioning....what a difference it makes to life in the heat....It was 28c today and tomorrow is supposed to be 32c...it would be unbearable to not have AC...I remember how miserable the nights were last summer when we couldn't sleep because of the heat....
Today we went to the splashpark......Abigail and Susie had fun......Sam liked it too.....I have a few pictures but didn't take my camera so they are all on my moms camera.....
We got home around 2:30pm....
Lloyd and I were due to meet with the architect and builder tonight but we got a phone call to postpone as the builders Father died. He's been ill for a while. I had been looking forward to an evening out so we decided to go ahead and go out for dinner anyway....we went into town to Joey Tomatoes and had a lovely meal. I had the Maple Glazed Salmon with Alfredo pasta, sugar snap peas and radishes (I have never had cooked radishes before...only raw...so it was a new vegetable to try!!! very sweet when they are cooked!)
After that we ran to the pet store and got the things we need for our new kitten.....
Then we drove home via Shadow Ridge and Ranchlands..to see what houses are up for sale and who has been doing what re landscaping etc...who is building where.....
Now we are home...sleepy and about to have a nice cup of tea :)

Long weekend is over...
Lloyd went back to work again today :( Only a three day week for him BUT although he has a three day weekend this weekend coming, I won't see him :( We head off to Jasper for 3 days and Lloyd is staying home with my youngest two :( I wish he was coming with us.....
This morning Mom, Abby and I drove over to the local garden Centre (Hastings Lake)
www.hastingslakegardens.com/
Lloyd wants a claw for weeding but they didn't have any so we just strolled around and then we drove back via the township roads for the scenery.....
This afternoon we are scrapbooking with the girls...Laurie has gone out with friends for a cycle ride......Chris and Oliver - no idea what they are up to......Oliver seems to spend much of his time watching the British news on tv.....maybe I will send them to the store on the bikes or something.....
My quad isn't working right now so last night Lloyd took Sam and I for a ride on his...that was fun...the side field is just a mass of Meadow flowers...all shades of pink and purple......just beautiful...so I may go and take some pictures this afternoon.......
Yesterday me and Mom went to Costco with Susie....then we went to the scrapbook store and bought a few things...which we plan to use this afternoon.........
In the evening we sat outside for a while...road the quad.....then watched Little People Big World before bed..... Lloyd washed the car with Sam and Abby yesterday.....I have photos but haven't uploaded them yet....
