6/7 Month Getaway

This past weekend "the Eng" decided that we should go away for the weekend. He was busy coaching hockey during our 6 month anniversry and so we thought that we should celebrate later on.

"The Eng" wanted to plan the weekend all by himself. I had no idea where we were going, what we were doing, and was only allowed to pack what he suggested.

Over the next few days I will have more pictures of our trip, but until then here are some teaser shots of our weekend getaway!

Fall Cattle Pictures

The last few weeks we have been busy working on our show and sale cattle for this fall. With the help of "the Eng" and dad we got most of them pictured!

What to Wear: Derby Outfit

I know the derby was a month ago, but I can't stop thinking about what a great outfit this would be. Crystal is talking about maybe having a derby night at her stagette this winter, so maybe this will just have to be my outfit!

Day in the Park

Earlier this week I mentioned that "the Eng" and I went and got lost in the Edmonton Corn Maze, we had a great time, but before that we headed to William Hawrelak Park for a surprise picnic.

I love Hawrelak Park. It is always so peaceful and quiet, which is a nice break from the city.

The lake is really pretty and a great place to go skating in the winter, or paddle boating in the summer. This trip though we went for a picnic!

Nothing better then a few sandwiches, veggies, cookies and a beer on a hot summer day in the park!

Edmonton Corn Maze

Last weekend "the Eng" and I headed out to the Edmonton Corn Maze for some fun. I had been to the Corn Maze at Lacombe before, but never to the Edmonton one.

There is so much to do at the Edmonton Maze. There is a little petting zoo, peddle bike races, a large pillow bouncer and of course popcorn!

It took us about 2 hrs to go through the maze and complete all 10 check points.

Corn in Alberta is not a very popular crop to grow. Our growing season is more suited towards canola, wheat, barley and oats. Most of the corn that is grown in central Alberta will be used for animal feed rather then human consumption. The exception is in southern Alberta where you can find the Taber corn!

Our corn does not grow to be as tall or the stalk as thick as it does other places. Crystal has been doing a Corn Report, and this is what the corn looked like on the same weekend in Iowa.
