Road Trip!

On January 20th we took a road trip to Grande Prairie!!
`
We had a fabulous time and the kids travelled so well (as usual)!!

That weekend was the end of Minor Hockey week in Edmonton, so the Initiation 1 teams gave their ice times away to the bigger kids, therefore Cal and Blake didn't have hockey.  Which made it a great weekend to get away :)

We got to G.P. Friday afternoon and went to see my friend Lindsey and her 2 adorable kidlets!!  It was the first time we'd met Ashlyn!  She's adorable and looks a lot like her big brother Parker :)

Friday after work, Grandma Bev came to Carmen's (where we were staying) with Katie and Greyson!  We ordered pizza and the kids had a blast playing and chasing after Mickey the cat!!!  Katie -sure got a kick out of Uncle Cal playing witch ;)  It was really great to see Katie and Greyson, they sure are cute!!  And of course it was great to visit with Cal's Mom too!

Saturday morning we went to Grandma's new condo and played and visited and had lunch there!  She has a very nice place, the view is fantastic and we enjoyed watching 3 coyotes running through the ravine just outside her window!!  After nap time, we headed to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Alstad's for coffee.  We had a nice visit and the kids enjoyed Great Grandma's toy stash ;)  Emerson saw a picture from Great Great Grandma's 80th birthday party and thought that Kourtney was her!!  She was convinced, it was cute!  After coffee, we went to my friend Candace's house for dinner with her family and Lindsey's family.  We had such a great time.  We never get chances to get together like this, so it was pretty special.  The kids had a blast, as usual!  Then we were back to Carmen's and it was bed time!  After the kids were in bed, I met Candace and Lindsey at Earl's for some girl time!!  Once again, we never get to do this, so it was a real treat to have an evening out with my BFF's :) :)

Sunday morning Grandma Bev came over and we played and visited and packed.  Then we met Grandma and Grandpa Alstad and Uncle Allan and Auntie Sandra for brunch.  Another nice visit and catching up!!

We had a really, really great weekend!!  The kids slept so well and Blake and Em thought it was pretty cool to be staying in Dylan's room ;)  Next time we visit, we will make sure Cal's sister Carmen and family are home!!

Thanks everyone in Grande Prairie for a fabulous weekend, love you all!
