So Far, Soooo Good!!


I thought I would take a minute to put up a quick update. We have REALLY been enjoying our new home and all it has to offer! We love the city, the people, the surrounding area and the amenities!
An hour south of Grande Prairie is Musrou Lake (the locals pronounce it muss-row). The beach and lake do not at all compare to the lakes I grew up swimming in, but it has provided my kids with a few days of fun!



It took Jarem a little while to get used to the water!


15 minutes from our house is Wapiti River and the O'Brian Provincial Park. It is a beautiful area with HUGE spruce trees and picnicking area's and grassy spots and really just beautiful! If you scale the river bank and get down there is a great little area for the kids to play where the current is almost backwards it's so slow! The kids even found a little pool filled with Tadpoles, they caught roughly 100 they said, but sadly the container got left out in the sun too long and they all died! Oops!



Behind E is the neatest little place where the water comes over the sandbar creating little rivers that the kids can tube down on, I have a video of N going down, but I'm not technically inclined enough to post it!






Just to give you an idea as to high TALL these trees are!

Heading back after a long hot day in the sun!
