Another trip to Calgary and a short visit to see the Calgary Temple. It is amazing to have two temples within 3 hours of us. Such a blessing!

First stunt of many to raise funds for Canadian Humanitarian and their programs in Ethiopia. Lyndon performed a stunt for every $1000 raised in the month of September. It was a fun campaign!

Came home from camping a couple of days early due to a LOT of rain fall. We decided to have friends over to dinner, instead. It gave us a chance to set the table all fancy and do some visiting :)

Spending Jayda's 8th birthday hiking around one of the trails at Cypress. The sun was the warmest it had been all week, and the sights were glorious! What a great day!

Tranquil, blissful - I love camping, especially when the weather cooperates and I'm with the ones I love!

Day one of camping at Cypress! We were lucky enough to get sites backing onto this small stream. It was so soothing to listen to and the kids had a blast playing in it.

We love checking out local "treasures" and thought that it would be fun to have a lunch date at Tino's - which is a lot like Peter's Drive In. The burger was a little better than average, but the milkshake was delish! We will eat there again.

A long over-due and welcome visit with Lyndon's younger brother, Blaine. We have missed him and it was wonderful to catch up and reconnect while he is here in Canada. Lots of special visitors this week!

We met up with our great friends, the Howies, for lunch on their way through The Hat back to Regina. It was a short visit, but we loved catching up with them. The kids immediately split off with their friends in the family and picked up right where they left off. Friends for life!

I went with Lyndon to The Park After Dark to help "man" his Canadian Humanitarian booth and we treated ourselves to some "screamers" from the Swirls food truck. Yummo!

A visit from this gorgeous lady was the highlight of my week. Having moved a Province away has really made me appreciate dear friends all the more. I totally love this gal and miss her lots. It was great to see her.

Lyndon set up the Canadian Humanitarian table at the Park After Dark this week to gain some exposure and be highlighted and introduced before each film. We hope it raises some awareness of what they do and hopefully gain interest for people to get involved.
