Family Vacation

Our family (minus Victor because he couldn't get time off) went to Manitoba to visit family, and spent a weekend in Alberta to visit friends.

Here are some of the two hundred and some odd pictures I took.

It was foggy when we left home at around 6:00 am
We stopped in the afternoon to stretch our legs. The rest stop had 231 stairs that led
to a beach, and yes we climbed all of them down and up.





During the whole trip My dear sister Melodie was my traveling buddy, and we had fun together.





We went through the USA because it was shorter, and it really brought back memories of my early childhood traveling to Manitoba.
I saw this Bilboard and liked it. What do you think?



Our first destination was at my Aunt Ann, and Uncle Ed's home in Winnipeg.
During our two and a half days there My uncle took us to the Royal Canadian Mint.





Friday evening we went to my Grandma's house for Supper and the next morning we went to a parade and I got to watch it with her, while my family sat somewhere else.



Young and old were there watching and taking part.











On Sunday my cousin took two of my sisters and I to a low German play. It was good, and funny. It was interesting to be in a city where the majority of the people were Mennonites, but nice to see fellow Mennonites again.



It was nice to hang out with cousins like Tom and Eva







It was also nice to visit with Aunts and Uncles.



Alberta's landscape was nice though it did not have as many trees as Ontario. where you saw trees it was probably by a homestead. A group of us came together Sunday evening, the majority of the group use to live in Ontario except for one couple.





Through it all Betsy, the GPS that friends of ours let us use (praise the Lord), was wonderful. It took a lot of the stress of traveling out of the trip.



This is just a brief over view of our trip out west.
In Winkler, we spent a lot of time visiting and eating, and visiting and eating sme more.

It was a good trip and to see all the people, but it felt really good to come home!

May the Lord bless you all!
