Nanton, sweet Nanton

This weekend we went on a road trip to Nanton, AB. We visited Nanton Aviation Museum. Sean noted how much it has evolved and improved since visited (a decade ago). I enjoyed reading through old magazines, looking at the exhibits and Sean most enjoyed the hangar with the  planes and flight simulators. Nanton is such a neat old town, with plenty of antique stores to check out. We acquired  a 1970's board game that is the Napolean version of risk. Can't wait to check it out!

birds of a feather flock together

We woke this Saturday morning to what sounded like terrible wind, a high whistle it was. Only after we opened the curtains we discovered that the entire yard was peppered with birds! Each tree in our yard was bustling with activity, as they exchanged places and bullied each other around. I'm still not sure what the fuss was about, as our yard was the only one with any action. We were thankful they cleaned up our crabapple trees before muggins could make a mess of them. I will have to ask dad what the heck that was about.

the big rock

We took Muggins on a road trip. Though it looks like she is in jail in the first picture she is actually quite cozy in the back of Seans Volvo station wagon. Yes that's right, he has a (feels like) new set of urban wheels to cruise around on now. We went to explore the "Big Rock" near Okotoks, the largest rock in the Foothills Erratics Train. This is a group of rocks that were carried by ice along the mountain front and dropped as the glacier melted some 10,000 years ago.
