Spent an awesome day in Medecine Hat - who knew the beauty that existed in this little area of the country?  I will definitely come back here again!  Lorna and I drove around the city, then met her son and granddaughter Eden for a picnic lunch - then went to a park in the country just outside MH - absolutely gorgeous!

Backing a boat into the river - or taking it out - can't remember which

Cactus - in Alberta - who knew?

Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saamis Tepee is a tribute to Canada’s native heritage. Built entirely of steel with a concrete foundation, the tepee is ringed with 10 large circular story-boards depicting aspects of native culture and history. 

These storyboards are all worth a read!

We were joined briefly by a cute little prairie dog (I know - I wouldn't be calling it cute if I lived here . . .)
