As we shared with our readers a couple days ago, our little community is pretty amazing. So in addition to all the wonderful amenities that we make sure to access on a regular basis, we have special events that we can attend occasionally. Today was a day like that.
Every summer a community plays host to the BC Summer Games. This year our city was the host, and within a 10 minute walking distance there were a number of events that we could watch, each event was free admission, and a great opportunity for these children to get a little taste of the Olympic Fever that seems to be creeping it's way in again!
So we had a look at our options and the children unanimously decided the equestrian events would be the most enjoyable. So in true lower mainland fashion we ventured out in the rain with our lunchkits in tow and arrived at the Agriplex building.
We quickly discovered that this horse event was not what we were expecting, there were no horses jumping like we thought (later, we discovered, that was in the building next door), but the children were very keen on watching the horse show. We had to be SUPER quiet, but the children, for the most part, got that from the atmosphere, because you could literally hear a pin drop.
We stopped and had lunch in the big rodeo bowl, thinking the horse jumping was going to start anytime, it didn't, but we had the whole place to ourselves, which was pretty awesome... a WHOLE STADIUM TO OURSELVES!
So we got a little run on
On the way back we spotted a wasp's nest
And ran on the crest of the giant hill. It was pretty misty.
What a cool experience!
