September is flying by in blur of activity. A person doesn’t even have enough time to enjoy it never mind blog about it. So jumping back to August and some end of vacation fun, we headed out to Riding Mountain for one last visit. L caught his first fish a freshwater drum or silver bass. He didn’t want to touch it to pose for his photo, Uncle B came to his rescue.
The next day was Saturday of the long weekend and we planned a day out. Grandpa called in a favour and got his hands on a “party bus”. The kids particularly liked that there were no seatbelts, and got a kick out of calling Grandpa “Corny, the driver of the day”.
We headed to Shiloh to visit the reptile gardens. Interesting, creepy but interesting. I think L was the only one who actually had a good time, but I am glad we went. I have never seen alligators or maybe they were crocodiles (they had both) that are as big as I am. The albino constrictors were particularly creepy, but I was tempted to buy a baby turtle.
Next we visited the Shiloh Artillery Museum, everyone tried out the big guns,
K was especially pleased to find one that was operated by women. “Girls can do this too!”
