A little bit about me and a lot about the things we do.

Drum roll please....

Okay, so Ron and I decided to go on a little early anniversary trip to check out his new posting.  We left Sunday right after church and drove to....

Ron will be policing in Brocket for the Piikani Nation Reserve.  We will be able to live either in Fort McLeod or Pincher Creek.

We looked around Pincher Creek and then went on into Waterton Park where we checked into a motel.

It's such a beautiful place to be and knowing that we will only be living 40 minutes away from all of this is amazing to us.

The next morning we went for a drive and checked out the park a little more carefully.



 
It's pretty quiet around the park this time of year but full of animals to enjoy and beware of.





 
 
We even saw three bears.  We saw a mama and baby while we were in the truck but then we saw one in the village while we were out for our morning walk.  We didn't get a picture.  Sometimes it is best to remember than try and focus the camera!

The spring flowers didn't disappoint either.

We explored Pincher Creek and Fort McLeod trying to get a good feel for the communities so that when we can go looking at houses we will have a good idea of where we would like to live.  We also drove around the reserve and were quite impressed with it being such a nice community.


After spending another night in Waterton we started our trip home, taking our time to enjoy the scenery.



 On our way home we stopped and had dinner with Stephen.  Mother's day flowers were there for me from Jenn and SC.  It was a nice surprise.  We also got wonderful smelling candles.
We have been back home and back to work for the past two days.  It may take awhile for Ron to get his papers for the move but we will be content to enjoy the summer in Three Hills....actually I am kind of content to be wherever as long as we are together.
34 years on Sunday!

Oh Watertown!!! I'm so excited for you two. Check out the "Bears Hump" hike, near the Watertown townsite visitors centre. It was the first hike I ever did, and a beautiful one with nice boardwalks, and a steep incline!


Enjoy your summer before you move. 🙂
