Turning 30

September 18th, I turned 30, for the first time. Yeesh! Surprisingly enough, I actually didn't really care? I thought I'd be that person who was all crazy and at oddsover it, but I wasn't. Instead I went for a Zoo Brunch with my little family and checked out the zoo. Then laughed when I recalled pervious years that entailed shopping for an outfit and going out to party, not up early for Zoo Brunch? Oh how a child changes your life.

For my birthday, my little family of three went to Canmore for the week, to relax, take walks and just enjoy the outdoors. It was the perfect way to ring in my new year. The weather was unseasonably warm and we visited a lot of the same places in which we visited for our wedding. The Lil' Cupcake, I think, enjoyed the time to run in the mountain air and explore the changing leaves and foliage that surrounded her. The only thing missing was wildlife. The entire time we only saw three mountain goats. Three. Usually we see a bit more, but alas we only saw three.

We also checked out Lake Minniwanka in Lake Louise. It was the first for us and it was beautiful. It is a really interesting lake for Alberta and so clearly turquoise blue. The Lil' Cupcake thought it would be fun to run into the water and got her feet wet, then decided the fresh mountain water was too cold. Poor girl. But she was fine picking up rocks and running around.

So here's to my next 30 years. Cheers
