Grande Cache in a flash

A Quick trip to Grande Cashe, we filled our days easily. The kids played at my parent's hot tub and trampoline almost non stop. We met some new neighbours and found out they are related to Greg's family. Who knew?
My parent's celebrated 42nd Anniversary and we went to a sweet little place in Grande Prairie for lunch. It's a garden centre that has converted an old barn into a shop and the upper loft into a tea house. Quaint, fun and expensive but worth the time for those special occasions.
Grande Cache Lake for the "hot" days. It's just not as hot there as it is here. It's at the same altitude as Banff, no mosquitos! BUT the nights are cool, 3 degrees! Already!
The Great Canadian Death race is every Aug long weekend and we were there for that. 125km run through mountain terrain. They make it into a big party. It was cool to be there to see it.
It was a cold wet and windy 24 hours for the run. We helped fill water and Gatorade drinks for the runners and cheeeeeered like crazy whenever someone came through. It was fun with lots of waiting in between. A good experience. The kids would like to enter the kids' death race next year... it's just around the town. We'll see.
