Inspired by Jenny, I've been trying to get out and do more adventure stuff as a family. When the kids woke up from their Sunday afternoon naps, we packed everyone up, along with a picnic supper and Bryn's bike, and headed out to the mountains.
We went back to Allen Bill Pond, in K-Country, which we had been to last summer with the Noblets and the Franklins from our ward. We had supper as soon as we arrived, thanks to grumpy boy Henrik.
We played in the river awhile, Bryn rode her bike around the pond, then we packed up the car again.
Arvid asked if we had time to take the scenic route home. I asked which route is the scenic one. He said 'Turn left instead of right, then find our way home from there." Sounded good to me. We ended up on a very long, very bumpy, very dusty gravel logging road, which was a blast for the first 20 minutes or so. The kids laughed as we jostled and Bryn kept asking if there was going to be more bumps! But after about an hour, it got pretty tiresome. And it was way past Henrik's bedtime, so he cried. A lot. But we made it home (thanks to an ox-in-the-mire stop at the PetroCanada west of Calgary), and have a fun adventure story to tell. Isn't that what it's all about?
