Road Trip

This week the boys and I went on a road trip!  With the end-of-summer boredom that seems to happen near the end of August, it was the perfect time for us to get out of town.  Pete has been working quite a lot lately with construction season being in full swing, so sadly he had to stay home, but we still had a great time without him.

My friend Jennifer and I have been working on getting together for a while now, but with her family living in Okotoks and our family here in Spruce Grove, it's never seemed to work out.  So this summer we were determined to make it happen.  The boys and I left early Monday morning to meet my friend Jennifer and her three daughters at the Calgary Zoo.  After spending the day there, we headed south and stayed at their house in Okotoks for 2 more days.  With all five kids in tow, we painted the town red.  We got to go sightseeing, we visited a honey factory, we played at 3 different playgrounds AND a spray park, and we spent time at their house too!  We came home Wednesday evening, and the boys spent Thursday and Friday coming down from all of the excitement.
