View from on high............







At the end of our evening at A Taste of Edmonton, we walked over to the CWB tower and went up to Lloyds office....he works almost at the top and we wanted to take some pictures from the windows up there and show Mom and Olly the view of the city.....

Here are a few of the pictures from the floor he works on.....

Disgusting

Not sure if I blogged about this yesterday or not...I posted about it on LP but not sure I did here...

A baby moose was found shot by the side of the road yesterday.....which is bad enough as its illegal to shoot a baby......but anyway...the disgusting part is that the person responsible then went on to put a grass skirt on the baby moose and Leis around the legs and then put a beer bottle in its mouth and left it like that at the side of the road :(

Horrific..what kind of a person does something like that to a defenceless animal......just SICK :(

Tuesday.....

Laurie slept over at his friends last night....and while on the way to take him, I got a phone call to say that Susie had been invited to sleep over at her friends again too....so after dropping Laurie off, Lloyd and I grabbed Iced Capps and drove around Boag Lake etc....taking the longer route home...

This morning I called Susies friends Mom to ask when I should collect her and she whispered across the phone that she wanted to tell me that Susannah is her favourite friend to have sleep over because she is just so nice and polite and friendly.....another friend from their class slept over last night too and I know that girl too so can quite see why the Mom would find Susie a lot easier :)

It was nice to hear how much they like Susannah anyway :)

Today I am doing a lot of running around really...dropping Mom, Olly and Chris at the museum...then running to get Laurie...then running almost an hour out of town to get Susie...then back into town to collect Chris, Mom and Olly from the museum...then I have to grab some milk...then home......

And then tonight.....tonight we are going to A Taste of Edmonton!!! Yay! I am looking forward to that...and showing Oliver Downtown Edmonton....and Lloyd is taking us up to his office which is on the 27th floor so we can look at the view of Edmonton from up there......

Not sure what we will do tomorrow....Mom and Olly have to be at the airport by 6pm......so maybe a walk around here or over by the lake...or a quick run into Sherwood Park to get some last minute things....

WE had an amazing storm last night - it started around 8:30 I guess and went on until about 4am....hail, high winds and an amazing light show from lightning.....Sams sandbox is covered in sugar syrup where the wind blew the Hummingbird Feeder......today is much cooler because of the storm but it is going to heat up to 28c again tomorrow and be 33c by Saturday......so we shall make the most of today Downtown without the heat!

Have to go and brush my teeth as we have to leave soon.......

Flowers at the Botanical Gardens....










Lloyd in the gardens yesterday........

Ringing the Friendship bell......



silly people!!!!




Susannah was standing near this Japanese statue and happened to peer inside....she noticed people had been leaving money inside....so, not knowing why, but assuming it was for luck, we all put some inside as we passed.........

The Devonian Botanical Gardens...











So yesterday we spent a few hours at the Botanical Gardens in Devon.........it was cloudy which helped and it didn't feel as hot....here are a few pictures from our visit....

It's official...

This is the hottest July EVER for Edmonton....they announced this on the news today.....

Its 31c again today........and only a 30% chance of a thunder shower tonight!

We could do with a little rain......the grass is all dry and crunchy now.....

I don't want rian like the UK is getting, but a little rain would be good!

Always nice to hear...

Susies friends Mom called this morning to say the girls are having so much fun that they'd like Susie to stay until after supper......thats so nice :)

Hangin' around......
