Paddlefest
We went to go for a walk at the dog park but realized that something was up as we drove by Carburn Park, so we pulled in there instead. It turned out that MEC was sponsoring Paddlefest and they had all kinds of boats (canoes and kayaks) set up for people to try out and get some lessons.
It looked like it might be interesting so we changed our plans and went for a walk around the lake at Carburn Park instead of going to the dog park, mostly just to check it out and see what was going on…
We had a very nice walk around the lake and Melanie had plenty of time to play at the kids park too. On the way back to the car we were hailed by a man in a very large Voyageur canoe asking if we wanted to go for a trip around the lake. Of course Melanie was very excited and wanted to go, so I waited on shore with Andrew while Louise, Melanie, and Fergus went for a paddle. They actually had an infant-sized lifejacket there that we could have put on Andrew, but he was asleep and I was happy to stay and take pictures anyway.
Our quick trip to the dog park turned out to be much more interesting than they normally are!
