October 7th

11.45am: I popped down to Charlie's pre-school today to witness the arrival of the Fire Brigade & local mascot - Sparky the Fire House dog. The kids of course loved him & Sparky did his thing, posing for photos & demonstrating the stop, drop, roll procedure for anyone who finds themselves afire! A gorgeous day again, with the market in full swing. Canmore at it's best. Here Charlie, Sparky & Lucas pose for a photo in front of the engine.

11am: We made the most of a glorious Canmore Fall morning by heading down to the park by the river. The kids threw stones into the Bow River & then Charlie decided to start running in the shallow water lapping the beach - of course within minutes he fell in & was completely soaked - thus curtailing the trip. It was good fun though & very funny.

1pm: A day off to enjoy the warm weather that has suddenly arrived. Time to start putting away the garden for the year, with the help of young Charlie. Warm enough afterwards to have lunch on the deck as well.

4pm: Yes, again my favourite viewpoint as I drive out of Calgary after a day's work. The snowy cold weather has moved out & it's more like a Fall day again, the colours are beautiful & the view towards the Rockies is wonderful.
