As I’ve written, my friends from Idaho are visiting, they arrived mid-afternoon last Thursday.

We hit up the Calgary Stampeders game Thursday evening, was a very high scoring game, but despite the score, I still find CFL football boring. Oh well.

We drove down to Waterton National Park in SW Alberta on Friday and toured around the park and the town of Waterton. We were disappointed when the Mexican restaurant was closed on our trip home. I made a tri tip roast in my smoker and it turned out really well, was very tasty and we gobbled it up.

On Saturday, we had an in town day. Breakfast at Stacked, one of my favourite places, lunch in the Calgary Tower, amazing 360° views from the restaurant.

We had a late start today and headed to Drumheller to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. I had previously been in April a few years ago and it was quiet, today it was packed to the rafters so it was harder to see exhibits and what not, but still a good time.

I’m BBQing New York strips tonight for dinner. Gotta get going on that soon.

We are heading to Banff tomorrow and the Calgary Stampede on Tuesday and then they are heading home to Idaho on Wednesday and life will return to normal for all of us. This is their first trip to Alberta and I hope they are having a good time.

I’m heading back to Idaho in September so that’ll be fun as well.
