Souris Bridge

With stopping in Souris, of course we checked out the Swinging Bridge. I am afraid of heights, and shaking swaying bridge's over active water don't help...BUT I did it, well part way anyways!

Fall is upon us!

On our road trip up to Winnipeg for Banjo Bowl, we stopped at Souris. Fall's colors are starting to show, and it's beautiful!!

Paigey-time

Paige is thoroughly enjoying the one on one time she gets with Mom when Dom is gone to school. We've been busy checking on our garden at the farm most days, so she has been kept busy, and never complains with playing at Gramma Mary's with all her toys!

Swim Fun

We enjoyed a night down in Minot with the Trafford's after picking Grampa Hawker (my dad) up from the airport. Dominic put a full 8 hour shift of swimming in! Paige was close behind. They definetly had a blast!

Gas Junky

I've seen numerous people stopping to take photo's of this old gas pump. This time, I thought I'd stop. It'd be a nice photo to put up on the wall! I am hoping to get a photo of it this fall, with all the beautiful colors

A Card a Day

On a recent trip down to minot, I picked up this book:



I am hoping for it to get me back into my craftiness!! But it's going to have to wait until October 1st, as our tomatoes are going to be ready to come off and I've got salsa to jar!!

Rear...

Have you ever been rear-ended?
No? Me either! That is, until we were leaving our campsite at Echo Lake. Those dang Albertans (kidding, of course!!). Thankfully, I have no photo's to post, as no damage was done. It was probably the best accident I've been in, ok so it's the only accident, involving another vehicle, that I've ever been in.
Not sure about you, but I worry about what type of "mood" the other driver will be in. Whether they are at fault, or you are at fault. This world is full of crazy people, and you just never know! Thankfully, it was a good experience, and the other driver felt terrible, and I made sure they knew it was no big deal. My kids, on the other hand, having been in a serious car accident..were quite shooken up by it. It took awhile for me to convince them that it was just an accident, that they were OK, and so was the car!

B/c the car wasn't damaged I took no photo's , but here are a couple from our "sibling" camping trip.






We, as siblings, go camping together every year. As we grow older, and take jobs involving shift work..It's become hard to get us all together. Last year, Lance missed out. This year, Amber missed out. One of the tradition's at our camping trip, is to take "scary photo's" we like having fun with those!
