August Road Trip Day 12

 

Well all our grand plans about leaving were 

thwarted by the weather.  

Rain all night Monday and most of Tuesday 

meant taking down and rolling up tents 

would just have to wait.

But the kids loved running around the yard in the downpour.

Then cuddling together in the basement after to get warm.

Someone decided that rainy days are for cookies,

and so the mixing began. 

Grandma spent some quiet time with Ms. C

 while the kitchen was so occupied. 

These two had such a grand time, rain or shine.

 

We had a good enough patch of sun to dry 

everything out enough to pack up.

Sleeping together in grandma's basement. 

Our trip home was pretty great with the exception 

of plowing out a trailer tire. 

We were almost home.  Around Panoka.

Always a learning experience.

We left the trailer by the side of the road and got some 

lunch in Panoka to calm down a little.

 

Shane called a friend to help him get everything 

arranged and all was well.

A bang to finish off a huge road trip!

Big Hill Springs with Friends

For the first time in my life I decided 

to host an outdoor play date.

 

I invited a bunch of friends to 

Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, 

About 15 min outside the city.

 

  

 

(I confess I couldn't have done it without this lady!!)

It was refreshing and fun. 

. . . I Actully mean . . . . 

It was pretty cold and rainy and not 

all the kids had a wonderful time at first.  

But we gave them time to adjust in the wet 

and eventually they got into the swing of things.

I loved how they were soon making up their own 

games and encouraging everyone to join in.

 

Everyone enjoyed exploring and enjoyed the great company!
