I’ve always enjoyed my trips to cities around Canada, however one is a little more entertaining than the rest…. and that city is Calgary.  The reason that I can enjoy Calgary so much is that there is always something new to see, something interesting to do, and something (or place) that I drive by that reminds me of when I was young.  Take this recent trip as an example… driving down McLeod trail South and I passed by a big car-wash with a rather large ‘rocket’.  Well, I remember driving past that in awe back in 1998 and thinking “That is the coolest thing ever!!  A rocket ship outside of a car wash/gas station!”  It’s just the simple things like that.

And without further adieu, I bring you the first of six videos (pictures to come!) of the trip into Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Well this was the first official trip to the farm of 2009 thats sole intention was to dispose of gophers.  Matt came along the previous weekend but we didn’t see all that much.  Lucky for Colin & I, we managed to find more than a few gophers and quickly dispatched them.  It’s amazing just what a well sighted .22 can really do over a distance.

Colin decides it’s a good idea to try shooting the 12-gauge… both barrels at once.

Sophia goes for a run through the canola field, followed by me, and then Jeff. It’s a lot easier to run into it than it is to run out!
