Ich werde den newsletter nicht mehr in Deutsch schreiben, auch mit wenig Englisch kenntnissen duerfte er verstaendig sein, oder einfach mal den on-line Uebersetzer versuchen! Das klappt ganz gut.
The month after our trip, it was hard to come back to work and it took me a while to realize I am sleeping at home not somewhere in Germany.
Hike with the COC - I went on two hikes this month, the first hike brought me two the South-fork Lakes and Barnaby Ridge. It was a steep hike from the beginning. First we had to cross a creek, and it was a cold morning and the water was freezing. I did this hike last year but this time we went higher to the ridge from where we had great views on the mountains around and on the West Castle Ski hill. And that creek we had to cross at the end again felt much more refreshing than in the morning.
The second hike brought me to Grinnel Glacier lookout. we had to go up all the way to Logans Pass from where we took the High-line trail to Glacier Park Chalet, just before the Chalet we turned right, up the hill for 1 km to the outlook. The Glacier was maybe 400 feet below us. I have been at the Glacier 2 years ago and thought it would be great to be on that wall behind the Glacier, and here I am!
End of summer - we had some very nice summer days. Two weekends with temperature above 25 degree, nice relaxing playing eating in our backyard - what a great place to be.
The kids like to play outside in the backyard, or we go to the playground. This will be over soon, as the winter is coming closer.
Nicole is now going to the Y for her swimming lessons. She is going with her little friend Miles who is also in her Pre-school and who's Mother works with Lettie. One day the went hand in hand from the place the parents wait to their swim instructor sooo cute.
Stammtisch - we also our monthly German come together at the Pub. It was a small group this time but it was nice to catch up with what happened while we where gone. Lettie and I went a little bit earlier to have a Date.
House renovations - it was time that we finished our deck, we put a last cover coat on after Lettie and Erica did the major work already to stain it. Now the deck is protected for another few years. Further we had a professional carpet cleaner who cleaned all our carpets in the house over the period off 2 weeks.
Erica is in the track and field Team of her school. Being 10th at the school race gave her the chance to represent her school with the other nine kids at the Lethbridge track and field race where her school made the third place. What a success, so proud of her.
We had a great weekend in the mountains, we planed this trip month ago and we where so lucky that the weather was just so fabulous. Before we went to the Cabin we stopped at the Pumpkin Festival, where we go every year. We stayed in a little Cabin by Twin Butte, which is round about 15 Minutes north of Waterton. From here we went to Waterton to do a little hike to Crandel Lake. The kids watched later BAMBI at the Cabin after dinner, while Lettie and I went to the Mexican Pub which was 5 Minutes north of the Cabin to have some drinks. The next morning we went back to Waterton where Erica went on an one hour horseback riding trip. And still, the weather was great again just great to end the summer season here.
Via the Crowsnest Pass (where we welcomed our new tenants) we went back home later on Sunday evening.
New cars, we just signed up to get our cars replaced. Lettie is getting a Hyundai Tuscon L and I get a Hyundai Accent GLS. While my car was there by the end of the month, Lettie has to wait for a couple weeks.
