Veterans Day Weekend

It had been a few years since we had been to Pearl's sister Anita's house near Lumsden, SK. We took advantage of the Veterans Day holiday and payed John & Anita and family a visit. They have such a beautiful place! We also got our first taste of winter 2010/2011

The great view from their living room window.

Friday, Jackson went goose hunting with his cousins Jeff and Jayden. They had some success.  

In the evening, we all enjoyed a delicious dinner at Jodi & Jeff's house. 

John & Anita got their patio finished. We decided that we'll have to go back in the summertime and enjoy it :-)

Saturday, the kids decided to try the snowboard behind the four-wheeler (or "quad" as our northern friends and family say). I think Maggie is encouraging Jackson to be careful.

Laura is taking guitar lessons. She asked Uncle Steve to help her put some new strings on her guitar.

Sunday morning brought this beautiful sunrise as seen through the frosty trees.

Meet Murphy! We picked up this adorable puppy from some friends of John & Anita on Sunday evening. Maggie wasn't sure what to think about her new little brother.
