Fun at the Zoo

Well, it really wan't a zoo, more a condensed farm where you could pet the animals. We were in Calgary this past weekend and one of the highlights was definitely 'Butterfield Acres'. The kids could pet, interact with and ride (some) the animals. One of the neatest things (I thought) was the sheep...they were just roaming around amongst all the people. It wasn't until after that I was informed (by Larrie of course) that they weren't actually supossed to be roaming free.....didn't I see the employees trying their hardest to round them all up? Guess not....I sure thought it was neat anyway!

Another highlight of the trip was attending Spruce Meadows on Sunday. It just happened to be the CN International which is 'the big one' in the world of horse jumping. Fun was had by all....Darcie didn't come with us but her Auntie Monica and Dixie made sure she had a fun day by taking her to the Calgary Zoo (the big one!)

While in Calgary we were fortunate enough to visit and stay with our good friends the Wakefield's. Taris and Sydney picked up just like they saw each other every day. It's always fun to have a visit with such a great family!

Of course, while we were there, we also had the chance to meet 'baby Remy' who is the girls' new baby cousin.
