We left for Saskatchewan on Thursday morning around 8:30 am. The drive was long, but very good!! I told my sister it was kind of relaxing, because I really didn't and couldn't do anything!! The kids were really good travellers. Blake talked pretty much the whole time, while reading books and playing with his trains and cars! On the way home he rode with my Mom and Dad from Tisdale to North Battleford. On the way there we stopped 2 times, in Lloyd and Saskatoon. I sat in the back with Blake and Emerson for about an hour before we stopped in Lloyd! She was getting hungry and needed some distraction!! We arrived at my grandparents house in Tisdale at 5 pm. Friday morning we headed out to Sylvania hall, where the reunion was being held. People started arriving Friday afternoon. It was a fun weekend! Everything went really good and the weather was beautiful! It was nice to visit with my cousins! I really wish we lived closer to eachother :( Blake had fun too! We were pretty tired by Sunday though. Both the kids woke up super early Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. And of course, Cal and I went to bed pretty late!! Sunday afternoon we went back to my grandparents house in Tisdale. Monday morning we left for home. We stopped in Saskatoon, North Battleford and Lloyd. We visited with my Grandma Kelley in North Battleford. Once again, I sat with Em for about an hour before we stopped in Lloyd! We could stop anywhere for me to feed her, but didn't want to stop on the side of the road and then have to stop again for gas a 1/2 hour later!! Cal picked Heidi up after the kids went to bed last night. She seems very tired! I bet she was busy with all the other dogs!!! So, it was a great little holiday and we're glad to know that Em is as good of a traveller as Blake :)
The forecast for the rest of the week is HOT!! We don't have too many concrete plans. I might take the kids to the Capital Ex fair grounds one afternoon this week. Cal and Blake have swimming Wednesday night (they missed yesterday's class). Thursday morning, we have a playdate with Stacey, Alana and Parker. Saturday is our friend Rick's annual horse shoe tourney and birthday bash! I'm going to take the kids to the party after their afternoon nap. We're going to stay for supper and then I'll bring them back home for bed time. My parents are going to watch them for us, so I can go back to the party! Cal and I also hope to finish up the fence painting this week.
Have a great week everyone :) Enjoy the sun!
Tracy
