Rest day in Regina, Seskatchewan

Today we had a rest day in Regina, and another family meal at Andy and Bonnies house (thank you Andy and Bonnie!).

Yesterdays journey was a bit of a slog aross the flat plains of Manitoba and Seskatchewan. If you look really hard at the image below you can see tomorrow (or is it yesterday), I don't know, I lost the will to live at one point and started thinking of "I spy" games in my head and could only think of something beginning with "N" in the end I gave up with myself and told me it was "nothing":

Laurie (Des's partner and my second cousin) and I went to the gym so that we could burn some calories whilst my Mum and Dad went to visit Kaye, a relative from the Ackerman side so they could catch up on who had what ailment and who wasn't here any more and then try to remember what each other was called again. Dad changed his hearing aid batteries this morning so I realised this must be a special event :o)

We sat in the garden for a while and took in the sunshine with Molly:

In the evening, Lauries sister Marje and her children Ellen, Max and Joel popped round to say Hi. Ellen was vey cute and decided to entertain us by hanging upside down and telling us about her new French teacher called Silly Moose:

Actually I think her name was Celia Mose but our version seemed much better.

My brother beat me resoundingly at pool, but I blame Max and Joel who kept plying me with beers from the fridge.

Tomorrow the forecast is for snow (unbelievable it is mid May isn't it?)...and we have another 6 or is it 8 hours across more flat plains to Drumheller..what a big place this country is.
