Yesterday we left our beautiful home in South Edmonton. Between 6:00am and 6:30am we all jumped out of bed, getting dressed and packing the car. It took us till 8:30am to finally drive away from my gorgeous golden-doodle (golden retriever crossed with a poodle), Kairo. He is big for his age and very white. The poodle in him shows. He loves people, and can't find a good balance between mischief and 'good doggy!'. We will all miss him terribly. We stopped in Regina to take photos at the Legislative building, walk around a lake and eat artificial junk. Then we drove for a very long, boring amount of time and stopped after midnight to meet our aunty Bev at the Manitoba Legislature. The air was so hot, and so humid I said it felt like breathing water. Then we drove and became more and more hyper until we reached Steinbach after 1:30 in the morning. Now we're at our Oma and Opa's house in Steinbach Manitoba. We are still very exited about the upcoming events in our parents hometown of Manitoba, such as; a sleepover with our very missed cousins in Grunthal, and a family gathering at our grandma and grandpa's house. We leave for northern Ontario on Tuesday morning - stay tuned for our next update after that. (I did not want to say that last sentence, that was my dad.)

Looking forward to hearing more as your trip progresses. Wish we could be at the family gathering on Monday. Say hi to everyone.

Hi guys,
I'm happy to hear you happened upon one of my favorite places - Wascana Lake in Regina. I've probably hiked around that lake 50+ times - in temperatures ranging from -30 to +30, in the rain, in bright sunshine or during a soft snowfall. Our thoughts are with you as you continue to make your way across this amazing country...

Ps - Luke, if you ever get around to reading that Hornblower tale - let me know.
If you enjoy it I can get you a bunch more...
I hope you have someone looking after Kairo. Otherwise you will come home to a bit of a mess...
