On the long weekend, we packed up our camping gear and turned the Outback west toward Moose Jaw. The Friesens have established somewhat of a tradition where the Manitobans meet Aunt I from Calgary at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, which is halfway between Winnipeg and Calgary near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Given that it was feasible for us to join the group this year, we decided to do so.
In the middle of the open prairie, something we missed while living on the east coast, a valley opens up and you get a nice view of the lake below. L and cousin C had lots of fun hiking up the hill by our campsite to look at the lake and, perhaps, spot some deer.
Here Aunt I is trying to figure out how to refold her collapsible pack sink–some things take longer when there aren’t men to help out.
L got to try out minigolf for the first time and it was a real hit. I’m sure we’ll be doing more of it in the future.
Here L and cousin C are busy waiting for everyone else to get ready so that they can go try out the boat. L hasn’t overcome his fear of water yet, so he refused to climb in when the boat got to the lake.
How can I tell that Lowell blogged this entry??
Seriously Ivy…bit of a shot there, eh? Big brothers… sheesh. 😉
Seems to me that the suggestions made by the man weren’t helpful either.
Sometimes you have to let the ladies figure it out themselves.
