Friday Kelly and I picked them all up after lunch, then we toured around Winnipeg for awhile. Went and walked around at the Forks, where we bought fudge and mini donuts! :) Then on to Fabric Land to check out the fabric. Kelly and Kevin did a run to the grocery store, and then we headed home. Grilled drumsticks for supper and had pasta salad and corn on the cob to go with it. After we had let that all settle a while we went for a tour of the fire/ambulance hall and then stopped at George's for ice-cream cones. Then we found out that some of the youth were playing ball, and of course Shawna wanted to go. (The youth don't seem to do much around here, so she has to get in on the times they actually do!) Took Shawna to the game and Kevin's and us did some more driving around until it was time to go pick up Shawna.
Saturday, we got up and around and headed out for Kenora. Shawna had thought it would be fun to go on the MS Kenora boat ride, and I was all for it since I'd never been either. It's a little tour around part of the lake and gives some of the history, plus you get to see some amazing cabins and cottages. It turned out really neat, even though it was quite windy and a little chilly. We went to Kelly's folks for supper then. Had a meal out around the fire and some of their neighbor friends came over. It wasn't long and we had to hit the road for home.
Sunday was church, and we even made it for Sunday School! It was a beautiful day, so came home and grilled ham for lunch. In the afternoon some took naps and then everyone either went for a bike ride or walk. For supper we had decided to have a wiener roast down by the river, but the mosquitos had come out again, so we ended up just going to Nelson's back yard. Their whole family was there too so it was an enjoyable evening!
Monday, we slept in and had a 'get your own breakfast'. Then we drove off for Rosenort so the guys could tour K-Tec. Pulled into the farm that we are buying, so Kevin's could at least see where we will be living shortly if everything keeps working out. After the K-Tec tour, we went to the Farmhouse Cafe for lunch, then on to Tara's store for us girls. Debbie ended up getting a piece of fabric, so it was a worth while stop! :) Went back home to pick up all the luggage and then headed to Winnipeg. Went to another fabric store and stopped to pick up some honey, mints, and maple syrup. Kelly wanted to take Kevin for prime rib so for supper, we enjoyed a great meal at the Keg. Took our time there then drove around downtown a little bit and stopped at Tim Hortons for some to get hot chocolate and coffee. Finally we had to go to East Gate. I wasn't ready for the weekend to be over with, but what can you do?! Went in and chatted there for a while then said our good-byes! At least we know we'll be seeing them again in just a few weeks!
Ok so this looks really long and no one needs to feel like they have to read it! Most of my post are more just for me to remember what all we've done in our life! :)
