Coaldale Vacay

When the summer heat finally settles in, I love going down south to visit family.  There are a lot of perks, namely my mom's air conditioning, beautiful backyard and the community pool.  It isn't nearly as crowded as the Edmonton pools (especially since it's free admission now) and it's infinitely cheaper.

Lucy and I visited Great Grandma, Nana, her cousins and aunts and uncles for the week leading up to Canada Day and we had a blast! A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are the few photos I snapped while we were there.

 A visit to Coaldale wouldn't be complete without pool time!

We celebrated Grandma's 83rd birthday with a BBQ and lotsa cake!

Canada Day was spent hanging out with family, eating lotsa food, going to a BBQ and lounging around.  On the way home we stopped at Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump - because apparently living in Alberta as long as I have and not having been there warrants a detour.  :)
