Canmore in particular (yes, I'm biased) is the bomb. We have such a tight-nit community here, and in the summer everyone is playing outdoors. Walking dogs, strolling, hiking, biking, floating at the Quarry, getting ice cream at the Old School Ice Cream Bus, you're bound to run into someone you know, no matter how long you've lived here.
Saturday evening, for me, was the perfect Canmore summertime evening. We deiced to treat ourselves to a Sushi date (no, I didn't eat any raw fish for those ready to give me a lecture), and afterwards Joshua wanted to hit up the Old School Bus, where we ran into many local's. It was so nice out, we didn't want to go home, so we walked down the Riverside Park (the park we got married at, which is, well, on the riverside), grabbed a bench and took in the fresh air. It was stunning watching the sun go behind the mountains, something I haven't done in far to long. (Warning, if you come to Canmore, and watch the sun go behind the mountains, have a sweater ready).
Sunday was even nicer, so we decided to head over to the Quarry (local swimming hole) with some friends, and I'd say about half of Canmore was there. Yes, the Quarry is cold, and not overly swimmable, but it really is an amazing place. The energy that surrounds it on a nice hot day is unbeatable.
Sometimes I lose sight of why I live here, but all I have to do is remember the small simple stuff like this, and our circle of friends, that is ever expanding, and ever shrinking at the same time. For the time being, I couldn't imagine life anywhere but here. I am truly and utterly looking forward to next summer in Canmore with our little girl.
