Kananaskis Country ...

I've mentioned before that one of the cool things about being a teacher is getting to go on fun field trips with the kids.  On Friday, I had the pleasure of accompanying my class to the Bow Valley Provincial Park in Kananaskis Country, which is nearby Canmore.  Our purpose was to explore the wetlands area in Middle Lake.  We had a spectacular day and the kids had a ball wearing their rubber boots and searching for aquatic critters in the lake.  In the afternoon, we went for a short hike around the lake before heading back to the Calgary rat race.  The short day trip to the mountains made me excited for the upcoming hiking season.  Hopefully, in a few weeks when things die down (more on that later), we'll be able to head out to the mountains for a day of hiking in the fresh air.
