Calgary Stampede 2024
I’m stoked to share our photo diary from the 2024 Calgary Stampede with you! Can I get a yahoo? We had such a good time at the greatest outdoor show on earth! This year, the attractions included hot Cheeto-pickle pizzas, cheeseburger-flavoured ice cream, watermelon burgers, mac & cheese popcorn poutine, and whipped lemonade (among others).…

Summer Vacation Pics
We’re super thankful to have had the opportunity to travel to the UK again this year. We got to catch up with family, sightsee with Kayla, and have an absolutely lovely time. And since our brand new passports cut the need for travel visas and our connecting flight brought us to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, we…

Family Fun at Telus Spark Science Centre
Raising a kid involves a lot of nostalgia. We rewatch our old favourite cartoons, relive school experiences, and remember things we’d once learned in a classroom. Now, my kid is a total science geek. She loves taking things apart to learn about their inner workings and lives for palaeontology slash zoology. But I’m a late…

Montecasino Bird Gardens (Vacation Pics Part Two)
I mentioned in the first vacation photo post that we did one touristy thing while in South Africa, and this is it. When Kayla was about a year old, we also visited the bird gardens. Since she doesn’t remember that, and she’s quite the zoology buff, we reckoned she might enjoy going again. So, on…

Vacation Pics (Part One)
Aren’t you proud that we managed to take some photos on this last visit to South Africa. You know, amid the chaos that was this last visit to South Africa. 🙂 We managed to do a total of one touristy thing, the pics of which I’ll share with you next week. Brace yourselves for lots…

Exploring Lake Minnewanka
As with most of the well-known tourist spots, we’ve visited Lake Minnewanka before. Just a quick stop, though, as the sheer mass of tourists kept us from exploring the area last time we were there. This time, no such thing happened. We drove mountain-side last weekend, stopped at Minnewanka, and could finally see what the…

A Visit to Calaway Park
The weather forecast wasn’t great, but we had family over last weekend and decided to have some fun at Calaway Park. None of us had ever been there, so this promised to be a day of exploration. This is not a sponsored post. 🙂 What I really love about Calaway Park is how family-oriented the…

Exploring Bowness Park
Now that the weather is getting better, we’ve had more opportunities to explore Calgary. We’ve been living here for 7 months now (SE-VEN, holy crap, when did that happen?) and still haven’t seen most of what Calgary has to offer. Friends have recommended the Bowness Park trip multiple times, but though we’ve been in the…

Mother’s Day 2019
Jan and I aren’t really big on celebrating holidays. We’re more chillaxed and show-them-daily than I-need-to-spend-all-the-money-to-make-them-feel-appreciated people. No judgement if you’re a hard holiday celebrator, it’s just not our groove. So this was literally the first year since Kayla’s birth that we went out of Mother’s Day. And then only because we had friends over…

Royal Alberta Museum
For the first time in forever, we went away for a weekend. Since a blizzard was in the cards for Calgary, we reckoned we’d get the hell away from here, and maybe catch some sun up north. We have friends and family in St. Paul and Cold Lake, and have been dying to visit them.…
