SK Road Trip

On Friday morning we loaded into the mini-van and headed for Saskatoon, SK!  We had to make a pit stop along the way as I had a phone interview for a position with AHS - more on that if/when I am the successful candidate ;)  We made the pit stop in Vegreville.  The kids and Cal ran into Walmart to buy Cal a pair of swim trunks and look around, while I interviewed from the van!!  When I was done we stopped at Timmie's and then the World's Largest Pysanka
The kids enjoyed seeing the egg and we took a quick photo before racing back to the van!  The rest of the trip was uneventful, the kids are such great travellers!  We arrived at our hotel in Saskatoon around 3 pm and quickly headed to the pool!  We don't stay in very many hotels, in fact this was only our 2nd hotel stay as a family of 5, and so the kids were anxious to try out the pool and water slide!!  After a nice swim we went to the Keg for dinner and came back to hotel to visit the Stecyk's for a few minutes before bedtime!

Saturday morning brought another swim, this time with the Stecyk's.  Then a movie in bed after showers, changing into our wedding clothes and we were off to Drake for my cousin Brynn's wedding!  It was a gorgeous ceremony, beautiful dresses and colors, gorgeous farm yard location.  In between the ceremony and reception we visited at my parents trailer.  The reception was great, the girls had fun dancing and it was great to see most of my cousins and my Grandma Marg.  The kids haven't seen their Great Grandma in awhile, so it was really nice to visit with her and we are lucky that she will be visiting here at the beginning of September!  It was a late night, we got back to the hotel just after midnight.  Blake fought falling asleep the entire drive home, just so he could say he stayed up past midnight ;)

We left pretty early on Sunday morning and arrived back in Edmonton just in time for Blake's 3 on 3 hockey game.  It was a fun weekend and we send big thanks to my parents for the use of their hotel points!!

It's hard to believe July is 1/2 over.  We've had such a great summer break up until this point and have so much more summer fun planned!!  

Talk to you soon,
