Life at the Lake

Right before our wedding last summer, Brent and I put a deposit on a lake lot down at Lake McGregor. It is about an hour and a half SE of Calgary in the county of Vulcan. We ended up buying the lot, and haven't been there since! Brent's sister and her husband bought the lot next door to us. We are probably going to be building in 2009, so I'll have more blogging material!

We took a drive out today to see the changes. We took the dogs swimming in the lake, and chatted with some of our neighbors. The water was nice and warm. It was a lot of fun.

Our lot (and the new wheels for scale!)




We have a lake view:


The neighbor 2 doors down from us moved an old house from the Currie Barracks onto his lot. They chopped it in half and added a vaulted ceiling and big windows over looking the lake. We thought that was a pretty neat idea:



Another cottage:


The realtor that sells the lots has built a place out on the point. It has this massive retaining wall that a lot of people are mad about:


It's super dry there, but it looks like things can grow there. This is a picture of the area around the clubhouse (which has an outdoor pool, hot tub, meeting rooms and a games room):



The boys were conked out from all of the swimming:
