Saskatchewan ho!


Continuing our eastward journey… we spent several days in Saskatchewan, visiting Jrock’s family and some dear friends. He grew up in that area, and we also lived together for 5 years in the neighborhood.
So it was lovely to reconnect with our Best Nextdoor Neighbors Ever S and R… who now hae a little tike. As well, A and W: A grew up with Jrock and now lives back in the small small town. Their daughter is just growing and growing! And last, but certainly not least, was Jrock’s family. the girls met their only cousin for the first time, and had a blast with him. He’s a lovely little boy, firmly planted in toddlerhood, and yet still very sweet.
The girls had several unique experiences, including visitng cows out in the pasture with Uncle K’s dad, chatting up the old farmers on coffee row, peering into a lion cage at the Lloydminster petting zoo (and hearing Mommy’s mixed feelings on petting zoos after,) and antiquing our way through the countryside.
Enjoy the pictures! It almost makes you want to go to Saskatchewan for a pleasure trip. Except for the mosquitos. And the tornados. And the thundershowers. And the muggy heat. Hmmm… Ok, maybe just the fam visits! I have to say, we miss our peeps, but we are SO very glad that we moved to the Okanagan!

Wow ! Sound fun. We are in Saskatchewan too. I agree with you, it a great place to live.
Having just returned from Saskatchewan myself, I can say it’s actually really nice to visit – even without family visits! Glad to see you had a grand old time. Hope you said hello to S,R and Cortez for me! Weirdly, I have known two dogs named Cortez, and they were both absolute dolls!(Maybe consider changing Laughlin’s name…
)
How RUDE! What are you insinuating about my precious little hose-beast Laughlin?!?
Hee hee. Yes. He really is a little terrier-ist!
