Sylvan Lake it is

When my friend, Andrea, told me she was going to Sylvan Lake this weekend, it didn't take much to convince myself to join her. So Saturday I head to the beach. I plan to spend the day/night soaking up some sun, taking in the water park, and having a drink or two (but no more than that) with my good friends from the LCC days. I'm very excited, as I haven't seen some of these people for almost a year.

Lemonwink

A friend of mine just opened a funky new clothing store on Whyte Ave. The store is Lemonwink and it is located upstairs at 10462 82nd. Check it out or get a preview at lemonwink.com.

Softball banquet and pirates

I went with Brock to his softball banquet last night. They hired a hypnotist as entertainment. It was pretty funny to watch Courtney try to fluff Brock's leg like it was a pillow. Brock was hypnotized for the first few minutes, but only got a short nap out of the deal. As for Scott and I, the hypnosis didn’t work on us. After the show, we spent the rest of the night, eating, drinking, dancing, and playing in the playground. I wish I had pictures of the boys jousting on the jungle gym. Too funny!

Ali moves to Alberta

My sister’s boyfriend, Ali, moves from Iran to Calgary tomorrow. I am very excited and happy for the two of them, as they haven’t seen each other for about three months. Welcome to Canada Ali!

Long weekend review

The weekend was everything I had hoped it would be. The weather was nice for most of it and we caught a lot of fish, some Walleye, some Pike. Saturday we cooked up some of the Walleye. It was actually very tasty (when cooked in two pounds of butter). I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get to go tubing, but maybe next time.

Finally going fishing

It is now August 1st and I still haven’t been fishing this summer. Therefore I am very excited about this weekend. Friday I leave for Slave Lake, where I will spend the weekend fishing and camping with my dad, Brock, and some friends of the family. This will be the first time I will be on my dad’s boat since he pimped it all out (who knew you could pimp out a fishing boat). Now all I need is for the forecast to change to sunny. It will be fun either way. If you have nothing planned for the weekend, you can come too. Give me a shout.
