Finding time for Fun

Even with all the hassle of selling the home and moving we still found time for lot's of fun, including attending the Big Valley Jamboree.

Seems every event is an adventure for us as we arrive at our designated camping spot and Yes, someone is in it. 3 women with a huge old RV bus that they really don't want to move. Mostly because they can't drive it and have been settled in for a whole day already. Problem is that their designated spot is nowhere to be found, so we want our spot. 3 hours later they move.

We park, pull out our brand new tent, we plan to use to mark the spot and without too much trouble have it assembled. Now we never really planned to sleep in the tent, but after setting it up realize there is lot's of space and if we move the foam mattresses into it, it maybe way more comfortable than the back of the Jeep. About 9 pm it starts to cloud over and the winds blow in a tornado like rain storm. We are cuddled in the tent, both secretly thinking we should have slept in the Jeep, wondering if the tent will blow down? But it doesn't and the light show is amazing! The rest of the weekend is hot! We were thoroughly entertained by the Oakridge Boys, Kevin Costner band, Martina McBride, several others and Keith Urban.

Keith Urban was absolutely outstanding. His energy and talent captivated the entire audience of 25000 people. I would pay big bucks to go to his concerts. IF he is ever back in Calgary i will be at the front of the line for tickets. Truly amazing and worth every penny!!!!

Monday morning we pack up and head back to the city. The weekend was so much fun!
