10,000 Lights

We spent last night looking at lights, from two rather different places.  First we stopped by a house that had a light show synced to music.  I'm not sure what was more interesting, the house or the kids dancing to the music.  My brother had planned the evening and we joined him so it turned into a pretty fun event. After some dancing and hot chocolate, we headed to the observatory for an open house.  The younger of...

Lethbridge Fires

Remembrance Day Weekend.

With a few days off we decided to make a good weekend out of our time off.  We headed to Calgary, with what we thought would be a quick stop at IKEA.  We find the restaurant a pretty good deal for feeding the kids. Well, after 2hr (don't ask) we hit the road and made it to the hotel.  The next day we hit the zoo. We purchased season passes last time we were there, so a quick stop at the zoo is nice, knowing you don't need to make...
