Super Saturday!

 

For something new we spent a Saturday enjoying a day at Sylvan Lake! This was followed by  the best bbq/social evening with AunAng, CassAng, MiAng, LiAng (super cute almost two year old son) and got to properly meet baby SavAng! Epic day of fun.

The day began with us renting a boat from some great guys in Sylvan Lake. They have this BC Shushwap Relaxed type meets Grown-Up(ish) skater guys. Let’s just say we have noticed a trend that those whom rent boats are able to slip the word “DUDE” into every sentence at least three times. It is always a little bit like talking to the turtle Dad in Nemo. While the boat was not in the meticulous condition that the others that we have rented have been in, it did the trick. We got loads of tube time in, floating, swimming and enjoying lunch. It was the perfect way to spend five hours on a gorgeous day on a lake. If you want to rent at Sylvan, the only company there does a busy and good little business.

After our time on the boat, we headed the 13km into Benalto, a lovely little town with a school that has a MASSIVE yet invisible speed-bump, a post office and a small store. Somehow since the GPS does not have streets for this town, we toured half of it.  While I was inclined to like it because my Besty has ABANDONED Calgary to live it, it was so sweet and close to my new favourite "quick drive from home lake" that we could not help but warm up to it immediately. If you wanted to live in a small town, this would be a nice choice.

 BrownieJ and CassAng were thick peanut butter and white bread after not seeing each other since Stampede. LiAng was really enjoying both placing his watermelon on the deck between bites, with DaddyJ’s encouragement and playing with ScoutJ. Best of all, I got lots of baby snuggles in with SavAng this newest addition to their family while catching up with AunAng.

DaddyJ and ScoutJ drove the four seater  quad around the block, perhaps a little quick for DaddyJ’s nerves a few times when ScoutJ was at the wheel! As MiAng aptly noted, it was more fun than I bargained for and could more than likely become a wish list item. LOL I will say, that baby drives faster than you would believe.

 So, have I ever written about what an EPIC hostess AunAng is? In her LONG ago University Days,  AunAng was the BEST party planner I have ever known complete with decorations, games and themed invitations? Well if you need party ideas, she is your girl and you can be guaranteed that anytime she is hosting you are in for a GREAT time. So, needless to say, between her and MiAng her husband, we had a wonderful evening. There is nothing like a BBQ with friends, all of the kids all having fun and great food to make you remember that “Life is Good”! Those people sure do make great burgers and fabulous beans! Thanks for dinner AngFamily.

Well, here's hoping that we get lots of more summer days like this one in the years to come.....
