Canada Day long weekend

This is where we went to test out the brand new down quilt and brand new tent.

Not to the middle of that lake, but to the Okanagan, camping in a friend’s backyard. We did things like cycle around to wineries…

Leading to a stash in the Chariot looking a little something like this…

The tent worked a treat (although we really have to remember to seam seal it)…

And the down quilt worked too…

We also did things like play in one of those splash park things that are a fantastic idea and I guess the only reason they were never around in Australia was water shortage issues. And enjoy the hot weather. And had fireworks. And ate proper home-made sorbet. And went and saw some goats. Then got stuck in traffic for an extra four hours on the way home due to an accident. But, we were in the middle of Yoho National Park, so the scenery was lovely, and we made it back to Canmore just ten minutes before the pizza place closed, just in time to pick up the pizza we’d cunningly ordered.
