Just another day in paradise...








It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I believe that I say that at the end of every couple of weeks. There has been so much goodness though, which means there has been so much God at work in our lives. We went to Saskatoon for Mother's Day. It was a pleasant drive with the kids, absolute miracle. And, although we were there for only a few short days, we had a great visit with Blue's parents, his brother, Dale, and his uncle, Dennis. Family is a precious gift that is often taken for granted.
Last weekend was May long weekend here in Canada, Victoria Day. We decided that we were feeling young and adventurous and packed up the three kids, our dog, a few days worth of food and drove up to the takeoff point for the rafting trips that Blue will be guiding for this summer. Our good friends, Josh and Kelly, met us up there. Although, they were pulling a large trailer. Ok, I admit it, I was a little jealous. I do think, however, that the "five-man" tent that we slept in was a little misadvertised...maybe a three-man? Anyhow, 3 of our people were very small, and Kiska, our lab, was our heater. We had a great time, even waking up to snow the second morning, gotta love the mountains!
And, we made it out for our first, hopefully not last, hike of the year. Johnson Lake is beautiful, and the kids did a great job. I am so rich. God has given me a wonderful husband, and kids, and I am forever grateful.

We are up to the 10 man tent (or whatever) for the 5 of us. The extra room is nice. Looks like a nice trip. Take care cousin-in-law.
