Victoria Day Public Holiday

We tested out our new second hand tent trailer on the recent Victoria Day public holiday. We left one on Friday for a 5 and a half hour drive to the town of Radium Springs where they have some hot springs. We got set up very late but had a reasonably comfortable night's sleep. 

While it rained a bit over the weekend the weather was generally very pleasant. The kids enjoyed playing in the forest around the trailer park and just loved the campfires. We found the hot springs a little warm at 37degrees Celsius. 

We went to church at a small Christian fellowship where they had a quest singer named Crystal Clear and her husband sing and preach. The drive home was wonderful as it was light all the way. We even took time to stop a couple of times and snap a few pictures. 

Weekend Walk

The kids and I went for a walk down the local park. It turned into quite and adventure. At the park Alyssa used the swings and climbing frame while the boys explored some nearby bush. They decided to climb down a somewhat steep slope until I suggested they explore some of the trails around the park. They saw some great views as the trail followed a ledge overlooking the valley. 

On the way back to the house we decided to take what we thought would be a shortcut but which ended up being a very steep climb. We came around the back side of the house through a swampy area which the kids had walked over when it was frozen in winter.
