Sylvan Lake




It was forecasted to be the hottest summer day so far. We started our 2hr drive on Saturday morning at 10. We quickly checked-in to the dodgiest inn in history called Edgewater Inn at CAD100 a nite without ABF and headed to the lake before the entire place was occupied. It was so full of people sun-bathing, BBQ-ing, reading, frisbeeing, eating, laughing or just snoozing. After hurridly looking for a shaded spot, we parked ourselves under a tree with dog on the right side and another dog at the back with a BBQ pit at work. No choice. We just laid the tikar we just bought at the summer store across the road and all the BBQ essentials. I reckon the store must be earning big bucks! I was in charged of food and grilled up some yummy food like chicken wings, shrimps, salmon, sausages, bacon and asparagus. It wasn't as hot as forecasted. But the water in the lake was too cold for even a dip. So the float we got for Isaac basically was used on dry land. He had a blast of a time, digging sand with his lil hand, walking here and there, blowing bubbles and admiring those two huge dogs. Did I ever mention that my son is a dog-lover? So unlike me and his Daddy. After a while the lil pumpkin took a nap under the shaded tree in my arms. We too took the oppurtunity to gaze into the universe, lost in our very own thoughts about anything, everything. We packed up at 5pm and left to the dodgy Inn to freshen up. Me on the other hand watched Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone on VCR in the room. I forgot i need to rewind the tape before watching! How ancient is this town! We took a stroll around the lil town and had dinner in ChaDua Vietnamese Restaurant. It was a breezy breezy afternoon. It was blissful.
