Father's Day


So on Saturday Morgan had a birthday party to go to in Saskatoon so I snagged her from her Dad for the day. She wasn't originally going to be able to make it, but Dave and I decided we should grab Jimmy and the chain link dog kennel I bought. We wanted to get him back for Father's Day. I had forgotten about Father's Day when I left Jim in Saskatoon.  So on Saturday we made a run down to Saskatoon with the truck. It was a bit nerve wracking driving back because the poles were sticking a good 5-6 feet out the back of the truck. At least they were pointed up in the air so cars would drive under them and not into them. Once again *I* was driving. How come I always get stuck driving? lol!

So on Father's Day Dave decided he wanted to take Jimmy fishing after he showed him how to chop down a tree?? Well it was POURING rain. Like ridiculous amounts of rain. There was only so much fishing a person could do. We don't have a boat and there are only so many good places to fish from shore. We went for a drive to find a lake. I think we left around 1pm and ended up driving until 8pm! We drove way West of Loon Lake and down through the Bronson Forest. We took some interesting side roads, stopped at a neat little store and generally just enjoyed our 'rain day'. Dave did a bit of fishing but didn't catch anything. But that was okay, we had fun anyway. I think the highlight of Dave's day was when he found some sort of rare orchid. It happens to actually be in the area where I shot the video near the bridge. I am so glad we got a chance to tour around our beautiful country and enjoy this new place we call home.
