We ended our first month of summer break with a trip to visit some wonderful friends and our kids’ past Canadian exchange teachers in Medicine Hat!

As we made our way through the prairies and traveled south east to the Badlands we were surprised to find that the landscape resembled our home on the Yorke Peninsula!

..And Medicine Hat was HOT in the summer! After having one of the wettest, coolest summers in Edmonton in around 100 years Medicine Hat was all sunshine and warm days!

While in Medicine Hat we attended the stampede! This was an upbeat and high energy mixture of carnival and cowboy!

Medicine Hat is home of the Saamis Tepee, the tallest tepee in the world!

Thanks for checking in!
