Grade 4 - Day One

It's September 1st, Lara's first day of Grade 4. The main difference about this year is she will have one hour a day of lessons in English rather than the whole day in French. We met her new teacher, Monsieur Marchand, yesterday, and he seems very nice, and Lara is looking forward to having a male teacher for the first time.

August Camping Part 2 - first few days

Lara's Summer Sports Camp

This week Lara is at one of her favourite summer camps - the Sports and Adventure week at Calgary Olympic Park. She's got a morning of cycling today, but so far this week she's done Parkour for the first time, which she really enjoyed, and a zipline and summer luge (go-carting down a winding course). Here's the full list of things that are keeping her busy:

Camping week in Gull Lake and Wilderness Village

Last week we took the trailer to Gull Lake for a few days, then moved 100km west to the town of Rocky Mountain House, where we stayed at a resort called Wilderness Village. This was so Lara could meet up with other families from her ski club for some summer training, and so the parents could get to know each other better.
Here are some photos from the week:


One of those photos didn't come out right in the slideshow, so here's a better version of it:

Just a quick place-holder post to note the fact that 8th August marked our 3-year anniversary of our arrival here!
