Our 'Enchant'ed day.





Hello again. What! two posts in one day? WOW! For lack of a very vivid imagination this story will have as characters Albertasaurus, Darth Vader, a couple of Mama Bears - one old and one not- and several bear cubs.

On a sunny Monday, Albertasaurus' small tribe and Darth Vader's harem went to the 'Enchant'ed Pond, a mere 40 min. from home base, to spend a day in the water, it being a lovely day. The pond was a welcome site to the cubs who frolicked in the cool water - all but the youngest cub, of course.



Young Mama Bear & T-rex are watching the other cubs in the water

Albertasaurus and Darth Vader, after spending some time under the hot rays of the sun sought shade in the only spot on the beach,because baby cub did not share her shade!
Old Mama Bear joined them too after a bit, though she did have an umbrella that was used for shade also. After the cubs were all out of the water we walked to get an ice cream or float.
then in a train they all went, to get photographed.

It was time to go home but Darth Vader needed to feed his chariot so we went to Enchant but alas no feed station. Whereas Darth made a u-turn, Albertasaurus went down a street and stopped on a dime when Old Mama Bear yelled STOP. Old Mama Bear and Ro-cub got out and looked in awe at what was before them. A sign that read FREE- Please take. So they did and were very pleased with what they took home. And one more item should be mentioned, a two slice toaster that stayed at Darth's house b/c that morning at breaky it was mentioned how it would be nice to be able to toast more than two slices of bread at one time so tada, it can now be done! Oh yes the lovely lady who graciously gave also handed us 2 boxes of wax crayons and 2 colouring books which were given to the little cubs to enjoy.


The end!

Rochelle has claimed all the Tupperware. She has quite the collection already. Me thinks she has it in mind to move out as soon as possible. :) The kettle, pot, mug and tongs are for the trailer.
