our winter get-a-way
















Well, we didn't exactly get away, but it was a break from the usual! Felt a bit like a cruise (a really short one) if you stretched your imagination! We stayed at the West Edmonton Mall and took in Galaxy Land, the sea lion show, mini golf ... and a little shopping. The kids preferred the tame rides. Bumper cars was the favorite. I'm hoping they get a little more adventurous in the future. Rhett would have went on some "scarier" rides but he was too short! He was the only one who would go on the ship ride. I convinced Samara to try the swing ... and she survived!! I went for a round on the big roller coaster, but it wasn't as great as I remembered!! It felt like a really bad chiro treatment the way it whips your neck around!

60th anniversary event for grandpa and grandma









I'm a little delayed in posting a few photos of Grandpa and Grandma's 60th celebration in January. The trip there and back seems to get longer, but it was fun to be home for a bit. They had a good day with some more good memories to add to the last 60 years! Another memory ... and a photo to prove it ... is that Phil also came "home' with me! I think that's the third visit since we've been married; maybe a sign we won't make 60 years!! Joking!! He is coming back home for the family reunion this summer so that is record breaking news!
