when i last updated you we were in edmonton and things have been busy since then.
we left there early on wednesday and headed east.
we stopped at the giant ukrainian egg. very exciting. it turns in the wind. and its really big.
we also stopped in lloydminster and felt like we were in two places at once. (we were.)
on the highway headed out of town we saw a tire come flying off of a big camper trailer. it freaked the hell out of me. i thought at first it was their spare, but their axel was right on the ground. they we not too impressed. but they were glad we stopped to see if they were okay.
we stopped for the night in north of north battleford. it was by far our coldest night so far. we pulled out any extra blankets we could find and were surprisingly well prepared. the next morning we met up with danny's uncle norm and grabbed some coffee. afterwards, on his recommendation, we checked out some of the historical sights. there is a fort there. fort battleford (shocking, i know!) it was actually pretty cool and they fired off a really frigging loud canon. it was rivetting.
we got back to the site and decided to stay another night. and, i have to say, it was nice to stay in one place for more that one night. i had a nap in the afternoon. it was all very stressful.
friday we started out towards riding mountain national park in manitoba. we stopped in yorkton (julia!) and took a picture. it was a long day of driving and we got very lost. i may have blamed danny's stupid, useless road atlas at the time. but it may have actually been my fault. oppsie. we did eventually get here. very late and very tired.
and i almost forgot. danny is gross and got a tick. we had to get it off him and he cried like a baby. it was kind of nasty. but i still love him. mostly. he is also convinced that our campsite is surrounded by poison ivy.
animal update: in sask we saw lots of bunnies and prairie dogs (i'm not allowed to call them gophers). and yesterday we saw four moose, including a mom moose and her two baby moose thngs (what are baby mooses called?).

A baby moose is a calf.
And to take off a tick, touch a freshly extinguished match head or other hot item to his butt (the tick not danny) - At least that was the folklore when I was just wee...
Looking forward to seeing you guys...
...rob
I take it back, apparently burning a tick's backside is not a good idea. guess it is a good thing I never had a tick...
...rob.
too bad because thats what we did. then it died and we just pulled the damned thing out.
yuck.
yeah, well, when jason got one on his scrotum when he was little, we burned the buggar too!!! jason was terrified...and embarrased...not that he will be now, though....hmmm
love you, mom
Oh, by the way, could we hear more about it not being danny's fault you were lost, but really yours???I seem to remember some comments about maybe needing to eat danny...(danny, I still have the text message if you need some evidence...) Have you made suitable restitution to the aformentioned "danny"??
no comment. and yes, suitable restitution has been made.
