Back from our most recent camping stretch but bittersweet as my inlaws decided to pull the pin after twenty years of seasonal camping.

Saturday Snap – Pretty Good Spot for @Frost_ReginaSK Fireworks!

Pace has been working at some Pats’ games to earn money for a school trip. We signed him up for the Saturday game not thinking that it would be Frost Festival at REAL but luckily I popped into the Exhibition Grounds on Friday night on the way to supper with some friends and realised that […]
