hope everyone is doing well. Kristie here this time!!
Ok so after edmonton we cam back to lloydminster, which is where we have been for the past week or so, however it has been jammed packed full of exciting adventures, most of which will make the Barnes family jealous (ha ha mick).
so to begin our week Uncle Doug took us up on his plane- not to sure what type of plane but i do no it was a P28 180
we we got a birds-eye view of the surrounding area. man this place has a lot of oil, extreme!!! so from the air you could see the prairies, all the canola fields, native and religious colonies, very cool. however on the way back from our tour we were all extremely quiet due to a little air sickness. i sat up front and got to enjoy the fantastic view when landing....holy!
here is one of the thousands of canola Fields
We then headed up to Little Fishing lake. this is where Uncle Doug and Auntie deb have their cabin. so this next couple of days involved a few sports that lets just say we are not insured to do - technically!!!! luckily no one got hurt, however i have a tiny cut above my left eye. if i weren't wearing sunglasses - who knows.. ha ha!!
so a bit of boating was on the agenda and we both took our turns at wake boarding, and its not that different from snow boarding, except when u fall.
Al's turn first
i however was a little more apprehensive in my attempt
although i did get there.
we also went tubing - we actually popped the tube!!!
but all in all we had a fantastic time on the lake
.from one extreme sport to another, we hit the muddy trails for a "three hour tour" on the 4-wheelers.
now this was insanely fun, lets just say we are lucky we had a winch. the mud and puddles were so fun, we all we covered in it.
aj claims he saw a bear, and we did see the bears prints. and we saw a beaver dam. but it was just so much fun,
here are some of the adventures of quading:
so that's been us over the last couple of days, we leave for London tomorrow which is exciting. we will keep u updated
aj will be doing a food segment, later this evening. on Canadian food!
xoxox lots love

Love the photo's guys, keep them coming. way too many extreme sports for a short time. most people don't fit that much fun in a year.
Hey Auntie DEB, don,t stress about your characture, you don't sound like a country hic to me. I am just way jealous of your life style...you should see our Aussy country hic's...funny in thier own way. Cheers
Thanks Kristie's mum!!! We sure enjoyed our time at our cabin with Jane, Kristie and Alistair. The quadding is my favorite thing to do at the lake that and laying in a lawn chair with a good book. Thanks for making our time at the lake a total blast!! love auntie Deb
