Hanging with the family at Waterton Lakes National Park, in Canada, connected to Glacier NP (currently closed due to the shutdown). We arrived for A's work conference today to find that basically Waterton is closing up for the winter this weekend. Someone didn't do the best job of planning. We were just in Fernie for two days while on the way here. We think Fernie would have been a much better location. Oh well.
Conveniently, Erik is taking some vacation starting on Wednesday, for a week. I"ll be back to it on Monday, after arriving back in Oly on Sunday night.
Resting the body, with this weather. We will see how much hiking D and I do this week. A 19 month old doesn't generate much body heat riding in a backpack. Its been sorta rainy tonight.
There is a pool here, which Dahlia and I will go to tomorrow.
In Fernie, they had a sweet indoor water park,2.5 story water slide, big walk-in hot tub, steam room, diving board, rope swing, pool toys..$10 for the three of us. I guess that I'm getting to the age where I can't just jump into things the way I used to, even if its to make a little Bug smile and sign 'more' to me across the pool, encouraging me to do another back flip off the rope swing. I think I strained a little something in my ankle on the diving board. Not like when I was 19, and took a springboard diving class in college. We are stopping through Fernie on the way back, and are definitely going back to their aquatic centre.
Weird seeing the second language on packaging in French, not Spanish.
He and his brother, something in their blood. Just one of those things, I figure thatt the need to support old timers is more important than their sometimes not the best of ways. The big excavator that we had on it yanked the sucker right over. Nice to use the big 076 for a change. Damn that thing is reliable.... just sits there for months then will start right up. When it went over a pretty large lead sheared off as it rubbed against the tree next to it. I was far enough away by then, but call it highly dangerous. In congested woods,.leaving the base with extra distance is definitely a good rule. Be careful out there. Dark crept in, still one more big bent Pine to dispose of.
