Shea’s parents had a motorhome that we borrowed a few times including a trip to White Bear in southeast Saskatchewan…
Once again, our summer camping means I’m less likely to keep my daily posts streak going but more likely to feel guilty when we get back from the weekend. I didn’t do it last weekend but I’ll post a few quick “catch-up” posts for the last few days because I know my readership is disappointed […]
…but our entry in the “Decorate for Canada Day” contest at Nickle Lake actually inspired the judges to add and award a second place prize (hat *and* t-shirt, baby!) after they couldn’t decide between ours and the people who ended up winning first place (folding chair *and* folding table). A couple subtle notes about our […]
I wish I’d watched this video before we took the kids to a local carnival a couple weeks ago. I’ve always known the games were rigged towards the operator and had a general sense of how they are – mostly by playing with the size and shape of the game pieces – smaller rims, longer […]
Had a great “Behind The Scenes” tour of Regina’s Mosaic Stadium tonight, courtesy of the alumni association for Luther College at the University of Regina and Luther High School. We weren’t allowed into the Riders’ locker room (only the Visitors’ locker room) but we did get to take a family photo in front of the […]
I didn’t think to get a picture with all the dads who were around our camp site this weekend but did get separate pictures of Shea’s parents (including her dad) and my parents (including my dad *and* me) so we’ll count that as a worthwhile Father’s Day post!
It’s become a bit of a family tradition to take the kid (and now “kids”) to a small parking lot fair that sets up every June at the Northgate Mall, close to our house, instead of the bigger, busier, more expensive Queen City Ex later in the summer. Here’s a pic from when Pace was […]
Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]
Should’ve called it “The Escape Castle“? What I imagine a Scottish princess would say… And of course, haggis!
This RPL Mother’s Day video is great! It makes me excited for RPL Father’s Day video next month where various dads who work for the system try not to get emotional while reading passages from “Fight Club” to our children. 😉 Just kidding – this video is great and I know I can’t get […]
