So heres part two of the recent "Floodapalooza". The heavy Canada Day rainfall resulted in flooding all over the city. All of these videos were shot at the "Sugar Bowl", which is normally dry and has a trail. Fun to use in the winter for tobagganing........and now I guess, watersports? Aaaaah!
Lethbridge-if you dont like the weather, wait 5 minutes!
Heres a video of some mountain-bikers!
I guess this one is like cross-training? I now proudly present, the new Olympic sport.....Bwimming - Biking and swimming!
This guy just wouldnt give up! Check out the tires on the bike - theyre totally shredded! After he hits the water, check out the guy riding the shopping cart down on the other side- he totaly bites it at the end!
OK, and now that youve enjoyed these videos, the ugly reality.....there are sewer accesses under the water and theyre all swimming in sewer backup!!!!!!!!!! NASTY! Im sure the rashes can be treated with a special cream (um, I mean thats what Ive heard right?)
Ah, Canada Day...just the thought of it brings images of celebration, fireworks, and.......unrelenting rain and floods! The day started off pretty nice until a freak thunderstorm started. Streets and intersections became flooded.
This is the intersection where the Crowsnest Trail offramp meets 13 street north. Look closely at the small shrub under the bridge...its actually an 8 foot tree and sitting next to it is a car...completely submerged - seriously!

I was only going to send these pics to mom but I couldn't send them thru hotmail so now everyone gets to see them. This is Stephanie's work!! She is a miracle worker, she lifted my spirits and made me feel beautiful!!!
Early early Saturday morning it began to snow and it didn't stop till Sunday afternoon!!! This is a nightmare to me!!! Justin says this blizzard will be great moisture for the ground. The only blizzard I want is from Dairy Queen!!!
Mackenzie didn't last too long because she kept pulling off her mittens. I finally brought her inside and made her comfortable on the couch and went back out to finish the shoveling...
and surprise surprise she managed to get her boots back on and decided she hadn't had enough!!
She did after this!!!!!
Our sweet little Mackenzie was turning 2 this year and what better way to celebrate than with a Pink Princess Party!!! I sent out some Royal Invitations to all her princess friends, summoning them to partake in the celebration. Her friends came with curled hair and beautiful dresses. It was a perfect day!!
We were so lucky to have Mama and Papa here for her party. I had 5 catering jobs that week, including one on that day, so it was nice to have some extra hands!
I served Kenzie's favorite popcorn chicken along with chips, strawberries, grapes and cucumbers. I glued butterfly jewels on all the hats and pulled a piece of white tulle out the top. They were adorable!!

The girls loved their lunch. For the Queens, I prepared chicken caesar salad and we sipped on fresca with cranberry juice.
