We had a great time this weekend!! Thursday morning we headed out for Yorkton, SK. First we had to drop Myles off at the same place he'll be staying when we fly to NS - he made out great there, btw - loved the other animals, loved the owner's little grandson, and slept with their daughter at night!!
We had a nice time at the exhibition. There was an awesome aquatic centre there with a nice pool and a big water slide. Zech swam for a while, and then ran himself ragged going up the stairs and down the slide over and over. I really can't believe how much this kid LOVES water slides!! He's going to be so much fun at Magic Mountain!!!! I was pleasantly surprised that Ruthie and Zech fell asleep within about 15 minutes of laying down, especially since they were in their own tent! They did great, though. Paul did well racing, too. :o)
Friday, late afternoon, we took off for Saskatoon. It was SO hot that day, well over 30 degrees. I ended up with a bad sunburn, and I think I got sick a bit from it - I was feeling quite bad Friday night and Saturday morning, anyways.
We had a really nice visit with Shelen and Mat in Saskatoon. I met Shelen online on a forum I've posted at for quite some time now. We went down to Minot, ND, to meet in January this year. We stayed with them Friday and Saturday nights. Didn't know it until we got there that Shel's friends and family had planned a surprise baby shower for her on Saturday afternoon - it was a nice surprise to me, too, to be able to be there and share that with her! I felt so "at home" with Shel and Mat - I guess posting and "talking" to someone nearly every day will do that to people!! It was really nice. We'll definitely be meeting up more, even if it's just a weekend trip to Regina every couple months or something. Her husband is really nice, Josh and he seem to get along quite well. Kaitlyn, their daughter, is SO cute and she loved having Ruth and Zech to play with - she wanted to show Ruthie her room right after we walked in the door! And their brand new baby, Ian Mathew, is GORGEOUS!!! I got some cuddle time in with him and even Ruthie got to hold him!
The drive home on Sunday took us a good while. We didn't really rush the kids at all, and I had wanted to stop at a children's clothing store there, which we did. By the time we'd had lunch, stopped at a couple stores, and got out of Saskatoon it was just after 6pm (our time). We stopped in Regina for supper and then had a heck of a time (and wasted a good 45 minutes) getting to a gas station! Then we headed for home. We FINALLY arrived here at about 2:30am!
It was really tiring, we're just really starting to feel normal and caught up today, but it was worth it. The kids were much happier to be home and able to sleep in their own beds, I think.
So, now just a few days home and we'll be off again, first to Winnipeg for a night, then flying out on the 19th! We're working right now on getting some stuff done we need to do before we leave. We'll definitely be busy until we're in the air!
There are pictures from the weekend on the other site. :o)
