Day 13 -- {AND I MEAN GANG}

Day 13

today the gang {AND I MEAN GANG} decided to go 

on the Prairie DogCentral Railway 

from L to R....David, Katie, Eddie, Glen {shotgun in hand} & Sheila

after getting stuck behind a truck and taking a wrong turn 

dad and I made it in time just-in-time for the train to be leaving



dad had to get his rifle out to get people out of the way
just so we could make the train before it left

We scrambled on board to join the rest of the family in the caboose
and had quite an enjoyable ride

{click on the small pictures to see them bigger}

there was one stop at Grosse Isle where the Lions Club were selling snacks,

 ice cream and pop as well as baked goods, crafts and  trinkets

we also had a look around a heritage house from the 1800s

  

Back to the trailer for a while to let Missy out then off to the reunion again
 When we arrived mostly guys were playing ball but dad chose to be the
official bar-b-quer {he didn't want to show off his baseball skills}

 

 Because mostly everybody was leaving tomorrow we said our goodbyes
But before we left there was a vote taken to decide where we
should hold the next reunion

Can you believe it took three rounds of voting before a winner was declared
The choices were Durham England or Fernie BC

In the end Fernie won out so the next one will be held there in two years time
Back to the campsite and to bed around 10 PM

Days 11 & 12 -- Fernie or Durham...a vote will be taken

Day 11
Breeze family reunion in Winnipeg

after a little help from Rich on the phone with 'work' stuff we were off to
David and Shelly's

arriving at 2:30 we were surprised to be the first ones to get there

gave us time to catch up before the rest of the gang got there

once the rest of the family arrived the party was in full swing

it was great to see our Canadian and British cousins

 the sun came out just in time and the kids had a great time in the pool

  after a wonderful catered dinner Dave brought out an
old trunk that belong to our uncle Jack

he had June and I open it and it was full to the brim of stuff that was uncle Jack's 

things he had collected over the years including his army uniform

Everyone took some time looking through the trunk

we were surprised with some the things that he had saved 

such as newspaper clippings, magazines, a tin of talcum powder and the like

the next topic of conversation was when to hold the next reunion 

Fernie or Durham...a vote will be taken

as we had left Missy in the trailer we were the first to leave around 8 o'clock

Day 12

Saturday, July 13

Another beautiful sunny day

dad recently broke his glasses so after breakfast at the campsite we tried 

to scout out the nearest Costco so we can get them fixed 

Costco couldn't  help us out but a jewelry store in town opens up again on Monday 

we will check them out hopefully they can fix them

Back to the reunion again with lots of chit chatting and catching up 

then another great catered dinner

 we headed back to the trailer to listen to the

 Lion's game against Edmonton and the Lions won

Day 10 -- GPS to the rescue once again....

Day 10

Awoke to the alarm at 7 AM  it was a little overcast. 

Road around Meyronne again and took photos because 

we don't know when we will be back here again

on the road about 810 am

got turned around at Assinboia on a bumpy dirt road

GPS to the rescue once again....

heading east on Highway 13 

the road is very good at this point with very little traffic. 

Just east of Weyburne we were amazed at the number of air wells

 as far as we could see

Stopped in Souris Manitoba to gas up and wash the truck 

then on to Winnipeg arriving around 8 PM

. As we were having our supper THE GANG (aka....David Katie June and Deb)

 visited us at our campsite

We sat around the fire for a while then to bed
