In August, Macy and I had the opportunity to travel down to
Medicine Hat to see Grandma and Grandpa Cutts, a weekend with them, who could
pass it up! Sadly Chris had to work, so it was a girl’s trip down. Macy was
great. It was a nice 5 hour drive, and since it was just the two of us, we didn't
have any work schedule to work around. We arrived at about 4:30 on Friday.
Grandma and Grandpa were waiting for us at the Medicine Hat Lodge. We checked
out our room and went straight for the pool. It was a great pool area. They had
some pretty good water-slides too, Grandpa, Grandma, and I enjoyed them
(especially Grandpa), but no amount of convincing could get Macy to go (since
we've been home though, she talks about going on the water-slide with Grandpa,
maybe next time).
After a quick dip, we met up with Uncle Robin, Aunt Jeana,
Aunt Terry, Aunt Pam, Christine, Uncle Chris, and Christian. We went to dinner
at the Cheesecake Café. It was delicious. We got some free samples of
cheesecake at the beginning, and they were good. After dinner we went back to
the hotel and Macy went to sleep and I relaxed.
Saturday was my great Aunt Melba’s 90th birthday
party. We spent the morning swimming, and then went to the party at the hotel
restaurant. It was fun to meet more family and hear fun stories of Aunt Melba.
I think there were about 60 guests, almost all her nieces and nephews, and
everyone had great memories of their Aunt Melba. After the party we stopped by
my great Aunt Phyllis’ house for more visiting. Aunt Phyllis has an awesome
backyard which kept Macy very entertained. We had a quick bite to eat at Wendy’s
for dinner, Macy convinced her grandparents to take her swimming once more (it
wasn’t very hard), and then it was bed. We woke up Sunday, enjoyed free hotel breakfast
buffet (which we also enjoyed on the Saturday), got ready to go, and drove back
to Edmonton. And then on Monday, we moved….
Here are some pictures of the fun that was had.
We stopped in Strathmore to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs.
We took a very short walk and found this train car in the parking lot next to
the gas station.

Swimming!
Just hanging out with Grandpa.
The big chair in the hotel lobby.
Apparently we were squishing Macy and she didn’t like it.
We’re so glad we made the trip. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma
for all the fun!

Sounds like such a fun weekend! Alice is sitting on my lap and loves Macy's baby doll. Alice always has her baby under her arm.
You and your Mom look so much alike in the pool picture! It was fun to read about your weekend. How fun to do nice trip before moving.
