We drove back from Lake of the Woods on Sunday, August 9th. Chris spent most of the summer working in Winnipeg, so we stayed an extra week in Winnipeg while Chris worked. It was fun staying at his hotel downtown. We were right across the street from the Forks, and it was fun to play tourist in the city I grew up in. Plus they hotel had a great continental breakfast, and surprisingly the girls did ok sleeping in the hotel and even sleeping in a bit!
On Monday we walked to the Forks and hit up their splash pad and park. We met up with James, Jamie, Tyler, and Ryan. We then met Chris for lunch at the Forks Market.
Macy the bird. She just loves to run around and flap her wings!
Rachel is also a little bird, as all she does when we get to a park is find the snack bag and eat all the snacks.
Once she`s full, she does go out and play.
Check out those muscles!
A shot from the hotel room. I think they were just watching TV during the day, because Rachel did sleep in a pack and play.
Monday night we went to Grandma and Grandpa`s and celebrated Uncle James` birthday. We had the best BBQ steak, and black forest cake for dessert!
On Tuesday we went swimming at the hotel pool. In the evening we went to Thunder Rapids with Grandma and Grandpa, James, Jamie, Tyler, and Ryan.
Macy and Tyler had so much fun driving on their own. Macy is pictured below.
Wednesday we went to the Children`s museum. The girls had fun running around and playing. Grandma, and the James Cutts family met us there. It was a good day to be inside as it rained on and off all morning. Again we met Chris for lunch at the Forks Market. The Winnipeg office is just a couple of blocks away, so it was easy for him to meet us. Plus the Forks Market has great food vendors. I got Indian food one of those days and it was so good!
Wednesday night I also met up with my friend Alissa. It was nice to see her new place and catch up.
Thursday I can`t remember much of what we did, I think mostly hang out at Grandma and Grandpa`s. The James Cutts family left that day. Macy and Rachel slept over at Grandma and Grandpa`s, while Chris and I had a date night. We grabbed some food from the Polo Park food court, and then went to see Jurassic World.
Part of Macy`s birthday gift was to go horse back riding. I had found a place that did it at Bird`s Hill Park, so the plan was to go riding on Friday. However, when I called just before we were going to leave, they said they weren`t bringing the horses out because of the heat and chance of thunder storms. We were so bummed! But Grandma came to the rescue! She called a friend who has a hobby farm about 10 minutes away from their place. Her friend graciously had us over to look at their two ponies, and wander around the farm. Macy had a blast! (And I suffered from hay fever!)
This was their cat, Oreo.
They had a huge pile of hay, and helped Macy climb all the way to the top!
The rest of Friday was spent getting ready to head home. We all left bright and early Saturday morning. The drive home was alright. The weather turned cool and rainy, and we were pretty cold at our pit stops. It was nice to be home again, and have Chris around for a few days before he had to leave again for Winnipeg.
