Last week the Olympic Torch passed through my town of High River, Alberta. I grabbed my neighbors and good friends, Brant and Shannon - and we headed out to take in the festivities. I honestly only wanted to see one of my favorite country artists and High River-ite George Canyon playing!
But they had a variety of great performers to entertain the parking lot full of adults and kids alike. The torch was carried in by a long time High River resident and notable community volunteer, Bill Holmes.
A highlight was the torch being delivered on a 1908 Watrous horse drawn fire wagon. High River was one of the first communities in Alberta to get a 'fire wagon' after fire ravaged through their downtown.
After the celebration we headed out for lunch and then spent the afternoon with my horses Ty and Belle (and the other horses, cats, rabbits and dog)!
...and Ty has become best friends with all of them! It's hilarious - he wants to play with the cats, but they're a little intimidated...and it's not uncommon to see him eating his dinner surrounded by rabbits that are sharing his meal!
Belle is getting bigger and bigger as she enters her 7th month of pregnancy.
