Welcome back!!

We were so thrilled to have our friends Betsy and Marc make their way back to Calgary!!  Canada hosted the Women's World Cup this June/July, and so Betsy and Marc travelled first to Winnipeg to cheer on the U.S. team for a few days and then headed west to see us.  So glad they did!!  We enjoyed a good ole bbq the night they arrived, complete with S'mores cake.  Doesn't look as polished as I hoped, but sure tasted yummy!  (And thanks to our guests for the torching lesson!)

 

The next day, Sunday June 14, I took Betsy and Marc to Canmore for a quick day trip.  We walked around Quarry Lake for some pretty views, then back downtown to stroll along Main Street and have lunch.  A quick trip indeed, but even a few hours in the mountains are worth it to me, especially with good friends!

That evening, the adults got to sneak out for some fun.  I'd been wanting to try Una Pizza+Wine, and it did not disappoint.  After dinner, we introduced Betsy and Marc to bowling Calgary style...5 pin.  Marc was the big winner, but I'm pretty sure that we all had some serious fun!

On Monday, it was back to "normal" a bit...Greg went to work and the kids were back at school.  Dropped Betsy and Marc off on 17th Avenue for the morning to grab some coffee, check out the cute shops, etc.  We laid low that afternoon and enjoyed an Indian feast for dinner.  Huge thanks to my fellow chef.  Wish we could prep dinner together all the time!  :)

It was time for Betsy and Marc to head back home on Tuesday.  We had big plans to enjoy some pannenkoeken before the trip to the airport, but apparently, the restaurant is now closed on Tuesdays.  Ugh...big disappointment!!  So, plan B was Belmont Diner in Marda Loop, and a good Plan B it was.  Betsy and Marc enjoyed the little diner vibe and tasty breakfast.  Goodbye to our dear friends, and best of luck with the new house and the big move to Michigan.  Love you!
