Mini-Vacation

This past weekend my family and I went up to see the Frank Slide. And we stayed at Blairmore, a small town right by the Frank Slide. There were a surprising amount of hotels, motels, and bed & breakfasts, none of them very good. We had originally planned to stay in a nice cabin 15 minutes away, but they were all full.

Too bad, they sounded really nice: "We invite you to come and enjoy a quiet, relaxing time and experience nature in a natural mountain setting. Settle into you own deluxe cedar chalet located on the Crowsnest River with the Rockies on your doorstep."

Cool, huh?

We had breakfast at a small place on main street, called the Stone's Throw Cafe'. MOM GET OFF MY BACK!!!!! *grumble*

Mom's controlling this post. Completely. Well.... The bottem half after the "Cool, huh?".

Do only Bloggers have to suffer this fate??

Thursday

A nice Thurday, a bit windy.

A weird thing happened the other day. My aunt and uncle stopped by on the Thanksgiving weekend and we put out a pail of water for them to drink and when they left we forgot to put it in again. The next day we looked into it and there were WATER BEETLES IN IT!!! They were Predacious Diving Beetles (Acilius species).

btw The pail was on the deck and filled with tap water (far from the river).

If any of you, my readers have an explanation for this I would like to hear it. I think the beetles flew (if water beetles can). But what do you readers think?

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I have been so busy these days, with Karate, and Basket-ball, and Skye-Walks, man I'm in over my head.

At least it's the weekend. And the Thanksgiving LONG weekend at that!

YAY!!!!
