July 11-17, Sylvan Lake, Alberta
We left Edmonton Thursday morning and drove south to Sylvan Lake where our friends, Mike and Barb live. We arrived just before noon and are camping in their backyard. It is great; we have full hookups, lots of grass and trees and beautiful views. Mike and Barb live on 80 acres and have a view of Sylvan Lake from their front window. Thursday evening we enjoyed a dinner cruise on Sylvan Lake aboard the Zoo Cruise Boat. We drove to the lake in Mike’s 1955 Chevy Belaire that he had before their got married. We had a great dinner with Mike & Barb and enjoyed the views of the lake. Sylvan Lake is a beautiful 16.5 sq mile lake and is a very popular tourist area in Alberta. Friday morning Mike took us fishing on Sylvan Lake. Rex, Mariah and Mike fished and caught a lot of walleye and one pike. Mariah had a great time and caught 8 fish. She kept Mike busy taking fish off and baiting her hook. ...
