July 31st 2016 - SKATING - Brooding Whooping Cranes

Everyone enjoyed a nice sleep in today; breakfast was a well rested affair. Lessons took on a slightly different format today as Calgary was hit by a certain special birthday. Today is Harry Potter's birthday. Therefore, Kensington was turned into Diagon Alley. While the children went to explore their magical side, the parents went to Calgary's largest mall (Chinook Shopping Centre). After a quick lunch, everyone loaded into the party bus and headed to the University of Calgary's Olympic ice rink. Everyone got to channel their inner Canadian while ice skating.With the five day camping looming closer, everyone was split into their tent groups - Team Black Bears, Team Owls, Team Wolves, Team Chipmunks, and Team Beavers. All teams worked together to create their own team names, logos, and shirts. After a quick camping lessons and delicious pizza, everyone went to bed.[AFG_gallery id='521']
