We didn’t get away camping by ourselves this year. This made L&K quite sad. The renovation project took longer then we anticipated, (perfection comes at a cost) and there were a few funerals that the church choir director needed to be at. There were many other little things that maybe shouldn’t have mattered, but their accumulated effect was that we were too tired to undertake the planning and packing. Instead we took 2 days to for some fun day trips.
Day 1 was a bike ride, not very exciting to L&K, although the KFC picnic in Assiniboine Park was a rare treat. We took some time to explore the gardens and the playground.
We have previously biked to Assiniboine Park so we tried to go a little farther. This was met with much grumbling and the whitetailed deer we spotted in the Assiniboine Forest did not compensate. However the lure of an ice cream come at Sargent Sundae kept them going.
It couldn’t have been all bad, Lyndon was artistically inspired by the mallards in the pond. He took many photos so that he could draw them when he got home. Unfortunately by the time we did get home he was too tired to be creative.
