Summer Floats

Wondering what I’ve done this summer? Pretty much the same thing over and over multiple times a week. Floating down the river has become my very favorite activity this summer! Calgary has two major rivers- the Bow River and the Elbow. The Bow is a faster, more intense river which requires more equipment and more care. The Elbow on the other hand is mellow and perfect for relaxing, but most importantly: sun tanning. As I only have air mattresses to float on, the Elbow is much more appropriate anyways. The river travels thought the richest community in Calgary so the topic of which house we’ll buy when we grow up always comes up. Depending on the time of day, the weather and how much rain fall we’ve had lately the usual rout can take anywhere from one to four hours. We have a car parked at the beginning and one at the end, so if the float isn’t long enough we just drive back and start all over again.
