Blue Lake was our first destination, for my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. The whole family was there, including my nephew and family from Sweden! Such an awesome time was had by all, and it was definitely too short!! But we didn't have time to fight that way.... the highlight was playing in the lake, but of course just being together was the best part of all.Highlights of the rest of our roadtrip, besides the obvious of just being with family:
Edmonton: West Edmonton Mall, swimming at the local pool, Slurpees, Edmonton Valley Zoo, going to the movies.... all of that done while Rodger worked with Josef out in Leduc. Hotel in Red Deer: First time in a hotel with the kids! Pool, waterslide, TV in bed, breakfast (cereal dispenser a big hit). Saw Sharon (Grier) Adams and family for dinner! Hadn't seen her for 20 years.
Royal Tyrell Museum: Awesome!! Very impressed, what a fantastic place. Spent several hours wandering the museum. 
Medicine Hat: 2 horses boarded on my parents' land, Mom and I went to Mook's fabric store one morning, while the rest did the daily trek to Redcliff. Played Scrabble, checked out Mom's luppies, ate ice cream at DQ (we had to do it, it's tradition), rode on the Quad, went to church, visited with Irene & Mike.
Kimberley: Awesome food and coffee, train ride tour of the Sullivan Mine, movie day, Scrabble, just hanging out.
West Kelowna: day with my sister, wine-touring, quilt shopping, burger eating. The kids went to the beach that afternoon.
And then we were home!! Lots of long days of driving but the kids did great!
We came home to a very dusty, stale house, from having our sky-lights finished. It'll take days to clean everything up and reorganize our house. Not the best way to come home but we were all very happy to be back!
