The sun finally came out on the weekend and to celebrate, we headed to the Lilac Festival on Sunday. There were no lilacs to be found, but plenty of stalls for a wide range of interests - everything from hippy clothes to local parliamentarians. Bands played all along the street in beer gardens outside pubs, but we avoided these as we were at the festival with a young family, and I'm having an alcohol free month. Perhaps the most common stalls were pet related, which worked perfectly well for me in my bid to convince C that a puppy would be a good addition to our lives! We also stumbled across an Aussie Rules stall, promoting the game in Calgary. As it turns out, the AFL scene is alive and kicking in Calgary (even if there is nowhere to go to watch a game on a big screen) with several teams in action, including a few teams for women. After a while, however, all the stalls seemed to be promoting the same wares, so we headed out of the crowds and back to C's house for an afternoon of lazing in the sun on the deck.
