Hope I have this straight........Betty let me know if it's out of whack!
Day 1-Sat. June 28th
Pretty much a right off, got to the lake 5ish, sat around the fire relaxing. Was a bit nervous about our neighbors...........a group of young people(12-14 of them)in tents..........oh boy what are we in for??? In the end it wasn't bad at all..........they partied quietly, never kept us up, thank goodness!! This is the night we had the exctiement............Evan's quad was stollen from Mini Lake!!! Daryl & Lori had just left the lake and then the boys(Adam, Evan, & Kyle)showed up looking for Daryl & Lori(they must have just missed them). Anyway, poor Evan, he was VERY upset about this............and there was nothing we could do!!!! They got a hold of Daryl & Lori on the cell phone while they were at the lake, and off they went!!! Off to bed we went!!!
Day 2-Sun. June 29th
Went to Daryl & Lori's to see if there was any news about the quad...........as it turned out they had a pretty crazy night with the boys which amounted to very little sleep.................but no news on the quad!!! As we were sitting having coffee Sherri S. phoned and said the quad was found.........oh my did the mood change in the house..........REAL FAST!!! Off we went with Daryl & Lori to pick it up, the boys were at the lake so they met us there!!! All was good, the quad was in good shape, no damage, helmet was still on it.............strange story of which we still don't know what, when, why, and how it went missing!!! In the end they are not sure if it was stolen, or a prank was being pulled...............jury is still out on that one!!! Off Betty & I went to Jackfish lake to Auntie Bertha's family campout......our visit was short & sweet, and while we were there I was lucky enough to hold a 16 day old baby..........loved that!!!! On the way back to Glendon we stopped at Grandma's K's farm...........even though it's abandon, empty, silent I do get a peacefull feeling when I go there.........not sure what it is, can't really explain it...........maybe I feel close to them(G & G)when I am at their home/farm???
Wow.........were there ever a TON of bees at these hives!!! Look close at the one with the black on it............that's a swarm of bees.......Betty said don't get to close........I said, ya, doubt I can out run bees, so I turned back and got in the car!!!
the barn from across the creek!
All I have to say is Grandma would not be happy with this sight........she fought tooth and nail to not have this on her farm!! In the end she realized she couldn't really do nothing about it, they(the oil/gas companies)would get in the ground one way or another............and she finally signed the papers(against her better judgement)!
A barn on the Bonnyville Lacorey road..........seen many times before, just never took the time to stop and take pictures.......this time I/we did!!! A bit over exposed(bright sun), but I like it anyway!!!
Day 3-Mon. June 30th
?
Day 4-Tues. July 1st
Headed to Bonnyville to see Baba, had a good visit! Brought her an ice cream cone from DQ, she just loves that!!! She was great, talking, laughing, answering the phone, giving instructions to pass on to Gido(don't go to the garden in the middle of the day when it's hot, LOL, she knows he won't listen)!!! (maybe this was the 30th)
North we went(Wolf lake bound), called Auntie Ellen to see if we could stop for coffee.........she said yes, as she always does(I always seem to give her such short notice, but she always has a pleasant........come on over reply)!!!
Love her yard/garden, it's so peaceful at their place!!!
Wolf lake road.......check out the sign.........yikes!
......guess it's not a good idea to go walking in this bush!!!!
On the way out we stopped at Perry's to pick up some buffalo burgers!!!
One last stop..........an antique museum belonging to Peggy's uncle!!! Very interesting!
Took tons of pictures here.......the following are my favorites!
Went down to Mini lake for a visit with Peter & Elaine............got to go Peter's new boat................very relaxing!!!

Last but not least a people picture!!! LOL!!!
In the morning we went to Bonnyville to take Emily shopping for her birthday party stuff, get a Birthday cake, some corn, went for lunch, then heading back to the lake to pack up!
In afternoon Daryl moved the 5th wheel down to Mini Lake where Emily was going to have her birthday party. That evening we had a super for Jeep's birthday, and included a few other July birthdays, Emily(the 4th), Mom(the 8th), and Evan(the 15th)!!!
