Saturday July 27, 2013 - Rice Lake

Tom's sisters Bev & Pat and their spouses had rented a cottage at Rice Lake for a week.  We headed there on Saturday to join them for dinner and have a visit.  Bev's daughers Andrea and Melissa were camping close by with their families.  Tom's brother Brian came out to join us for dinner also.
Tom hopped into Shawn's kayak as soon as we arrived to go for a paddle.  I think he is as much hooked on kayaks as I am.

The rain showed up later in the afternoon which chased us into the cottage for dinner.  But after dinner the rain stopped and we were able to get back out doors for a camp fire.

The crew!!  Tom, Bev, Brian and Pat.  Not sure where Tom got all the height in the family

We sure have had a busy couple of weeks with family and friends.  It has been fun.  

Talked to Twyla this morning.  She did have a birthday party for Joe's 50th last week at the farm.  She said about 40 people were there and it turned out well.  They were heading to Lloydminster today to visit Joe's parents.  They are then headed to Waskesiu Lake (near Prince Albert) for a few days camping, Kinistino for the long weekend, Toban Lake (north east of Kinistino) for camping, fishing and quading.  Then to Pike Lake near Saskatoon to camp with her old school pal, Charlene and her family for a few days before heading home again.  They have a busy two weeks ahead of them.

Karmen goes into grade 7 in the fall and Jake into grade 6.  Karmen received Honors again this year.  This is an annual accomplishment for her. They are sure growing up and we are so proud of them both.  Need new school pictures Twyla!!!

That ends our two weeks or travels, fun, family and friends.  Can't wait to get going again.  Until next time - safe travels.
