July 26- Birthday brunch and visiting

The morning started with a light breakfast before we headed to the free book shed at Airdrie's Recycling Centre. Cassel and Hannah guarded the van while Paul, Kerri, Mary and Gerd looked through the hundreds of books for a good read. 

We then headed over to Cora's for Gerd's birthdays brunch. Paul's sister Nancy, her partner Jo, and his niece Kira joined us. Kira is over from Germany and staying with Nancy and Jo. It is nice to spend some time with her while she is here.

Kira joined us for the afternoon and we spent some time shopping in Airdrie before meeting up with Kerri's cousin Tammy. After a good hour of catching up and some good laughs, we said good bye to Tammy and went to the Nose Creek Museum. This is a nice little museum with lots of neat items like manual hair clippers (Hannah loved these), some old tractors, and some military memorabilia.

The young lady at the front desk of the museum was most helpful and she suggested a Gelato place to get a nice cool treat. The place was called Amarato Gelato and it had 72 flavours of gelato! Between the 5 of us, we tried, Black Forest Cherry, Strawberry Cheesecake, Lava Caramel Cake and Cookies and Cream. We may have to go back while we are here.

We came back to Mary and Gerd's and Cassel, Hannah, and Kira went outside to see if they could get Cassel's foam glider to fly in the wind. They did and just before dinner the glider got stuck on the garage. Upon retrieval, the nose got damaged. I do think it will fly again.



After a most delicious dinner, Kira, Cassel and Hannah went out to explore the town. It is nice to see the cousins doing things together.
