Quarry Lake

All decked out for the beach party!!!

Canmore has its own local beach, well, people call it that, but it is actually a lake. This lake is well used in the hot summer weeks and for the past week we have seen temperatures of 30 degrees. So most of Canmore parents have been hanging out up there, it is a great idea to get the kids out to play in the water. The best time to go to the lake is early in the morning at 9.30 or in the evening for a bar b q when everybody else has packed up to leave, that way you miss the crowds and the hottest part of the day.The motto on toys is , you bring five toys and you leave with five toys, not necessarily the same toys!!!
This week we took Heather and Finlay up there for a bar-b-q with our neighbors, Nancy, Guy and their children and Heather's friends, Robin, Will and Cayden. It was a lovely evening and the older kids enjoyed jumping off the rocks, Heather just sat and ate!!!
I have also taken the kids up there early in the morning and Finlay enjoyed himself relaxing and sunbathing under a tree, while Heather enjoyed playing in the water and also thought she was waiting for the big wave to come so that she could go surfing!!!

Just chilling!!
