Goodman-Baines Out For Lunch!

With Nigel's work permit application sent off, we now have to await Service Canadas response (which should be within 3 weeks). In order to make the most of the amazing weather that we've had over the last week, we felt there was no better way than to head into the mountains.

We had found an amazing spot in Kananaskis Country last year so after a quick stop at Walmart for a few supplies we made the 40 minute drive from our house to an area called Forget-me-not Pond. It is more of a little lake in a small wooded area, surrounded by mountains, with the Elbow River running alongside.   

Nigel's finger is where Forget-me-not Pond is in Kananaskis Country.

After a short walk from the car, we found ourselves in a beautiful little wooded area surrounding the large pond.  We walked around to the other side of the lake and found a wonderful little spot to set down our blanket. 

After a few hours on reading, sunbathing and dipping our toes in the freezing glacier water filled pond we decided it was time for some food.  We moved back to the other side of the lake where there were fire pits and BBQ grills that we could use.  

Our Dinner, a couple of burgers, a salmon steak, and some vegetable and potatoes....Yum, Yum!

Now how is this for a view while we ate our dinner!

Well after a wonderful meal we let Domino have one last cool down in the river and then packed up and loaded up the car ready for the 40 minute drive back home.  As you can see in the picture below, Domino had a great time, but was one tired dog at the end of the day, and once in the car slept all the way home!                  

Drying off after her last cooling dip of the day! 

We have had severe storm warnings for this evening, although at gone 10pm we've yet to see any  sign of rain, let alone a storm.  But i shall leave you all with a little visual reminder of why Nige should always use sunscreen when wearing sandals!!!
