Saturday out of order

So as not to miss out on a day of excitement, Peter and I got up early and headed out seeking adventure where ever we could find it. We started out back on Stephen's Ave. and ate breakfast at a tiny but bustling restaurant. Peter ordered his traditional eggs, hash browns and sausage but I thought I would try something different. I had a carrot cake waffle. It sounds really sweet and gooey but it wasn't. It was a crispy cinnamon walnut waffle with grated carrots and maple flavor whipped cream on top surrounded by blueberries and blackberries. After tasting it, Peter had breakfast envy although he did manage to finish most of what he had ordered. I will try to duplicate that when I get back home. It was really yummy.

Next we set out for this place Peter had heard about called the Okotoks. This area of Canada was carved out by a glacier tens of thousands of years ago and I have marveled at how many of the rocks that you see are so rounded and smooth due to this glacial influence. Soooo Peter was taking me to this real rock that was deposited by a glacier. This is a mans rock that weighs 16,500 tons and sits in the middle of a farmers field. There are no other rocks like this anywhere near so this rock is called a glacial erratic. Peter, being the man that he is, likes to think of it as glacial poop. You know how he is always on the look out for what ever poop he can see so this description is perfect. I was a little excited about going to see this rock but when we got there, about a 45 minute drive from Calgary, all it was was just that, a big stinkin rock. Okay, I get that it is the only one of its kind and it was deposited by a glacier but really, it is just a big rock in a field. Peter was very disappointed that I was not thrilled. Originally I was not even going to add it to the blog but after sleeping on it a couple of nights, I decided the experience was worthy to share. So, enjoy the picture of the glacial erratic. That sounds so much better than calling it a stinkin rock, which is really what it is. Enjoy!
