Visiting Alberta

This is just one of the MANY pictures that my niece, Taylor took while we were driving. She is an amazing photographer. Who knows, maybe one day she'll be famous. Aubrey (8 months) (Leigh-Ann & Jason's youngest) & Taylor

Abby (5 years) (Leigh-Ann & Jason's oldest) & Barb Sam (4 years) (Leigh-Ann & Jason's middle) Natalia (2 1/2 years) (Colin & Kara's oldest) Mackenzie (2 months) (Colin & Kara's youngest)
This is the view straight down from the Calgary Tower. It was an amazing sight that Taylor couldn't get near. Ever since she was at the Starfield concert where the floor fell through, she is a little more nervous.

This day we spent pretty much the whole day walking around downtown Calgary. When I say the whole day, I mean from 12:30 to 9:30 pm, only stopping to eat lunch and supper, other than that, we literally were walking. I was surprised at how well I did, my feet were sore by the time we got back but I think everyone's were.

See the full moon rising just above the trees?

On Thursday evening, we had a mini Capernwray reunion. We haven't all been together for 20 years and we had so much fun together. We had dinner together and then just sat around and chatted, before we knew it, it was 11:30. I'm sure we could have sat and talked for another couple hours.

Take notice of the lack of roofs on the two houses on the left side of the picture. Some kids were playing in the garage with gasoline and lighters. Needless to say, they destroyed 2 complete houses and partially destroyed another one.

When you go to Medicine Hat, you have to check out the ice cream shop Swirls, they have the best soft ice cream.

On the drive from Medicine Hat to Calgary, you could see it raining miles ahead of where you were.

This had to be one of the most bizarre signs we saw on our trip. Apparently there is an Indian Reservation that is on both sides of the highway and the Indians don't feel the need to use the overpass to get to the other side.

On the final day of our holiday when we left Calgary very early in the morning, this was how we saw the sun come up. It looked like we were driving to nowhere and that the mountains are floating.

One of the many shots of Shuswap Lake.

Just about home, so tired.

The happy couple. John and Nancy Baumgartner

1 Year & 9 Weeks

I'm trying to add some pictures but it's not working too good right now. So I will continue to try and get them on here.
I was so scared that I had gained a lot on my two weeks holidays. I actually had a dream/nightmare the other night that I had gained 14 lbs. When I went in yesterday and weighed in, I had actually only gained 3.6 lbs. I had expected to gain some as I didn't really watch what I ate so Iwas surprised that I hadn't gained more. So, now it's time to get back to basics and get to my next goal. I will be adding pictures of the different aspects of our trip once I can get the pictures on here.

1 Year & 6 Weeks

Well, this week wasn't as good as it should have been. I gained 2.4 lbs. It was a long weekend and I was house sitting for my aunt and uncle so I didn't have all the usual stuff around the house so I wasn't eating what I should have been. I have to be really good this week because starting next week I'm on holidays for a week and a half. However, I've been told that calories consumed on vacation don't count. I wish!!! I am really looking forward to my holiday because not only am I going to a ver good friends' wedding but I get to see a number of people that I went to Bible School with and haven't seen in a long time.
