Living and Loving the Prairies!

Our Prairie Life tour is almost wrapping up and we have been having an amazing time on the prairies. Every Gym has a basketball net to make sure we stay in shape.

Avery got to try Fried Bannock in Onion Lake. Shout out to Brenda for making it special for our visit!

The Grade 8’s in Provost, AB gave Ed, Coire and Taliesin a run for the money in a spirited game of dodgeball. And we stopped for a quick picture in front of Biggar’s famous  sign, “New York is Big, But This is Biggar". A real quick picture, we were coming home in –41 windchill that afternoon!!!

Next week we were at Coleville, SK and we were interviewed by some of the older kids for their school newspaper! Afterwards, we drove to Drumheller, “land of the dinosaurs” and stopped to visit Rex.  Can you see Ed and I on his toes???

We went for a beautiful walk across the Frozen Jumbo Lake in Loon Lake, Sk, and met the Lumberjack in Goodsoil, SK,

Then we headed far up north to Ile-a-La-Crosse and used a real ice road to get back to Beauval!

Prairie winter is letting up and we hope to wrap up this tour in t-shirts! But we made sure to keep our winter coats in the trunk of the car. After all, “if you don’t like the weather, just wait ten minutes and it will change!!!”
