Another beauty day today, solid few week stretch of blue sky hot weather.

Pulled the boys in the Chariot to Quarry Lake in Canmore for the day. The boys loved the sandy beach and shallow water, plenty of local families out enjoying the weather.


Hard to beat this view

A massive house fire occurred yesterday afternoon at Little Bow. Marnie said they were all relaxing at the beach around 2:00pm when they noticed a plume of black smoke.

A fire started in the garage of a large home on the hill with 11 people inside watching their relative playing soccer in the Olympics. The family dog started barking alerting the occupants, luckily all made it out safe and sound. No such luck for the house.

On lookers could not believe how lucky the entire resort was that the fire did not spread, thankfully the two lots on either side were vacant along with a rock garden lawn helping not spreading the flames.

Wow......

With the family away, squeezed in two after work bike rides. West on the 1A and Tour of Banff roads next, large 'bear jam' on the Sunshine Road w a black bear eating. No opportunity for pics as thankfully it was on a descent.
