That's a good idea fr0stByte.
Stormi would love to meet some of her Canadain Sisters.
There're is still lots of Alberta to explore. Come on over and we can do it together.

Here is the rest of the Big Adventure we had last weekend. The weather was a little better. I tried to talk Stormi into just heading home. However again she was having none of that, she said "We came this far, no backing out now." So off we went back into the eye of the Stormi. When we got to the last place on our Adventure, we were quite hungry. We stopped for some pizza that was 'out of this world'

Again I hope that all our Forum Friends can over look all the bad hair and bad light, and just see the fun we had.

Quite appropriately, the first place we went had a really Big Duck.

July 28, 2019
Andrew, Alberta
Home of the Worlds Largest Mallard Duck

Stormi: Ducks go Quack!

Stormi: I feel a draft, is it getting windy again?

Stormi: Hey, did you undo my coat?
SL: uhmmm.....

Next we went and seen a really Big Pyrogy

July 28, 2019
Glendon, Alberta
Home of the Wolds Largest Pyrogy

Stormi: Can we eat that?

Stormi: Come on SL, just a bite?

Last thing we did that day was to go to see if the Alians have landed.

July 28, 2019
St. Paul, Alberta
The City waiting for Alians to land

Stormi: That pizza was yummy!

Hey SL. Did you know that the rocks that make up the provinces on this map, are from those provinces?
SL: No I did not know that.

Stormi: This means we are here.

A surprise to Us and a bonus for you. Stormi stumbled across the towns time capsule, it was under The Landing Pad. The town buried the capsule in 2017, They plan to open it in 2067 or when the first Aliens land there. The weather was better and Stormi was feeling a little frisky. I think the pictures show that.

Stormi: Want to fool around?

The fun is not over, just this episode of Stormi's Big Adventures. Come along next time with Stormi when she looks for a Big Swan in a Big Garden. Maybe we will run into a few other Big Things along the way.

Stormi is rather captivating with her top half-undone like that!

What is it with you Canadians and your love of monstrous commemorative statues?

What you have to remember Adelea is that up in Alberta it snows a lot.
These big statues are the only things left poking out above the snow during winter! I reckon they use them as navigation aids.

Seriously though, I really like them. We have a similar thing here in my town square, a big metal urn sculpture that has water flowing out of it.
Occasionally we get "youths" throwing soap in it, so we end up with masses of soap suds all over the place!

I'll try and take a photo of it and post it. I won't take Tiffany there as it's my home town and very public with lots of people milling around.

Tiffany and I are going to sit down with Google Earth again later today and plot your latest travels.
She's very fond of seeing where her sister Stormi is exploring.

I did mean monstrous as in size, so navigation aids makes a sort of sense!

I do quite like them too - but SL and Stormi have been to a LOT of them!

djcdoll · Post by **djcdoll** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:55 am

I wonder if StormiLover will do some exploring when we get to winter and they're all covered in deep snow?
Maybe SL has a snowmobile? It would be interesting to see Stormi on the back of a snowmobile in her winter snow suit and wooly hat.
Some trips up into the Rocky Mountains would be visually stunning. Stormi would look great in some of the Ski resorts.

I think she looked very inviting adelea. Stormi was feeling frisky, who was I to say no!
I think there is 43 Big Things in Alberta. I was planing to go see them all. I have lived here all my life and have not been to most of them. We love sharing our adventures.

Thanks djcdoll, we are very pleased that you like what we are doing.
It's true, we get lots of snow, just wish the temp would be more enjoyable while we had all that snow. Even just -20 would make it very hard to deal with Stormi outside.
I would love to see Tiffany in her Red bikini all covered in suds, frolicking in the town square.

I have only been to 1/4 of them. May not be able to take Stormi to them all, however I sure am going to try. The main reason for these Big Things, is tourism, And bragging rights. We have the biggest whatever, come and see it, spend your money in our town.

I do have a sled, and I'm planning a few trips. However might be a bit tricky. I'm scared she might fall off. Same reason why I have not put her on the quad.
Really I don't know how you always know what I'm going to do. Our next Big Adventure will be in the foot hills of the Rockies with beautyful views, and big attractions of course. Hopefully better weather will follow us.

Another interesting adventure you two.

To adelea and djcdoll, you guys almost caused me to have coffee come through my nose.

Tiffany and I spent a pleasant early evening using Google Earth to track the latest leg of Stormi's Big Adventures.

Very interesting indeed. We're amazed at the distances you're covering in these trips.
We're looking forward to the next leg of this epic journey around your lovely state of Alberta.

Thanks Fr0stByte,
I have to admit, I was having a 'Hard' time taking those pictures.
I so wanted to take right there on that rock.

That is awesome that you and Tiffany follow along with us djcdoll.
We are going to the west side of the Province next time.
I hate to correct you, however Canada has provinces. 11 of them and 2 territories.
