We're Back!!!!!!

Here we are back from 15 days of fun in the sun....
Sorry, make that smoke...Lots of it..
and rain..
and wasps..
and some sun!
We had Lots of fun...took lots of pics..
which I am sure you will all get sick of seeing....
made some new friends...
and we have lots of stories...
I have also decided a couple of things..
13 days of a 15 day holiday ...is all a baby and a toddler can stand before losing their minds...
There are actually 7 people in 7 Persons Alberta...
(We counted)
and I do NOT want to holiday in Brooks ever...
There is a meat rendering plant there...
and it smells really BAD. FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

So...DAY ONE.

We left Regina right on time at 6.30 am for BC...
Very impressive with a baby and a toddler..
stopped for breakfast at the McDonalds in Moosejaw..
and gave the kids a break from their hated car seats...

This is actually Potash...
I had never seen it before I moved to the Prairies
but I think it looks like snow...
Apparently so did the Japanese tourist who was climbing over the fence to
take a better look.
Hope she didn't step in it...
that stuff stinks!

This is little Gracie enjoying our lunch break at
the Alberta border...

...and Jeremy burning off energy
after several hours cooped up in a car...

Finally we reached Medicine Hat...
Our first over night stop....
and started our holidays with a visit to Echodale Regional Park....
We spent two hours at the little lake there...
and the kids had a blast!
(I was just glad to be out of the car...)

Gracie showering after the sand all went into her diaper...

All is fun and games till someone gets stung in the ear though...
We found out just how many wasps are in Medicine Hat
at the moment...
We also found out how tough our son is...
He got stung right in the ear..
and growled at it....
(I would have cried..those things hurt!)
