Things are heating up here in southern Alberta as we begin to head toward summertime proper, which has us looking forward to some of our favorite warm weather activities. What’s sitting at the top of our list? Sunny afternoons spent at family-friendly pools and waterparks, of course!

April snowstorms have brought us our well-deserved May flowers – and some beautifully warm days to boot! All this balmy spring weather has been fantastic, but it’s not quite as fun as it might be if we weren’t cooped up in our truck making deliveries through it all. That’s why we’ve been eagerly looking forward to Victoria Day long weekend. Any chance to get out there and enjoy some warm, sunny spring weather with our family is one we’ll always jump at – now, it’s just a matter of figuring out what to do!

The snow’s starting to melt, the days are getting warmer (well, some of them are, anyway – it is still March, after all!), and soon, winter will be nothing more than a chilly, distant memory. Of course, spring means more than just nice, sunny days. This is the season of new life and fresh beginnings – and, if you’re a new or expectant parent, it also heralds the return of the Calgary Baby and Tot Spring Show! We always look forward to these shows – in fact, they’re one of the highlights of our year! Never
