FOUND IT!! A sequence of geocaching joy!

Jason skipping back to the van after finding a geocache in that tree!! This was in The Battlefords, SK.....

Look at that smile!!!

The Voyage Home- a little late.. but here it is!

Here's a visual record of our trip back from Manitoba. It's not in order, as I find posting pictures on here to be a big pain in the ASS! I also had more pics I wanted to add, but our computer completed crapped out and Jason just got us back on the board today!! Way to go, babe! Mwah!

Fiona & Kieran with a lovely bison at a Tourist Info Centre in The Battlefords, SK.

Jason's reassuring Fiona that the bees are in fact more interested in that tree than her!

The travel bug Jason picked up at our first cache of the day... he's hitching a ride across the prairies!

We found it!! First cache of the day at a Tourist Info centre near the MB/SK border.

It was very windy throughout the day- everywhere it seemed!!

A geocache in rural Saskatchewan a the Condie Nature Refuge... family picture!

Fiona & Kieran near a beaver-chomped log!

Lake Manitou, Sask.

The hotel we stayed at... Very big disappointment! It's called a Mineral Spa Hotel.. nothing Spa about it! The service was crap, and the heat was on full blast when it was 25C outside! We were not impressed. The staff didn't seem to care, so I reviewed the hotel online!!

Fiona & Kieran playing in the salt water of Lake Manitou!

The burger joint, where you can buy a hamburger for a steal at $8! Rip off! We opted for Mennonite home cooking down the road!

The science behind the lake...

The view from our room...

Somewhere between Lloydminster and Vermillion! Geocaching, of course!

Same cache as above...

Watrous, Saskatchewan at sunset- the main drag!! lol

Sunset on Manitou Beach. The view was like nothing I've seen- massive rays busting from the horizon!!

Our van posing with the sign for Manitou Beach!!

Super Soakers!!

May Long Weekend

For most of the weekend, we laid low, since arriving home from Manitoba... However, we were glad to visit with the Clyde's on Monday!! The kids had a blast playing with the super-soakers! Dakota volunteered herself as a "free sample"-- meaning everyone could use her for target practice! What a friend!!! lol Here's some out-takes from the adventure!

Coldplay- Fix You

Love. Love. Love this song. I've got my fingers crossed to see them live here in Edmonton in July!

Easy on the eyes, too ;) *swoons*

The Cure - The Only One

I'm ashamed to admit that my friend, Erin informed me TODAY that The Cure had a new album... Frack me!! I am out of touch! I'm so old-- but clearly not as old as these guys are getting! LOL Robert Smith 1985 is the era of Bob that I find so HOT! lol

This song would be a great wedding tune for the unconventional... just listen to the words!! lol


Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
What you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs
And you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It’s a mess up there!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my heart
When you push me back down
And it pulls me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It’s the best, oh yeah!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my lips
When you shut? me inside
And you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips
It’s so sweet in there

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my hips
When you blow? me outside
And then suck? me like this
I love what you do to my hips
It’s the ???, oh yeah!

You’re the only one I’d cry for
The only one I’d try to please
You’re the only one I’d sigh for
The only one I’d die to squeeze
And it gets better everyday, I play
With you it’s such a scream
Yeah it gets better everyday, I say
and with you it’s so extreme
Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I say
With you it’s like a dream

Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
What you do to my skin
Please slip me on
And slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It’s a ????? oh yeah

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my bones
When you slide me up
And slip me home
I love what you do to my bones
It’s the ??? oh yeah

You’re the only one I’d cry for
The only one I’d try to please
You’re the only one I’d sigh for
The only one I’d die to squeeze
And it gets hazier anyway, I sway
With you it’s such a scream
Yeah it gets mazier every play, I say
With you it’s so extreme
Yeah it gets crazier everyday, I say
With you it’s like a dream

Oh I love, Oh I love, I love
What you do to me

For Aunt Nicole

Taken at the hotel room in Winnipeg, the weekend of Christy and John's wedding! :)

City and Colour - Comin' Home

I really like City and Colour- headed by Dallas Green (hence the title)! I found this song stuck in my head today after such a long drive across 3 provinces... 1,200 kms...

I have been through the rockies, and I HAVE seen Saskatoon... We took hwy 1 home. Very fitting.

These guys are Canadian, Julie! :)

Manitoba Roadtrip so far... Mostly Killarney visiting Uncle Clint & Aunt Nicole...

Here are a few pictures of our trip in Manitoba, so far... We have spent most of this week visiting Jason's brother, Clint & his wife Nicole. These pictures were taken during our time in Killarney and Boissevain, Manitoba!

Hiking along the PRFA (Prairie Farmer's Rehabilitation Assoc.) trail... whew... that's a mouthful! Jason later planted a night cache with Clint once the kids were in bed... Poor Clint forgot his gun and missed out on getting himself a nice big turkey!! Seriously. This is Manitoba.

Fiona showing us her freaky moves with the skipping rope!!

Fiona LOVED riding the horse at Uncle Clint & Aunt Nicole's house!!

Kieran on the horse

Rosheen riding the horse at Uncle Clint's
