On our way again

Yesterday was full of fun!
Chris started everyone's day with Pancakes (Little Will had 9!!)

& we headed out the door to rake some leaves!

I took the boys back to the LEGO store to build their own personalized Mini~Figures again, & we picked up 2 xmas tress balls filled with Gold Lego Bricks! Oscar found some crazy toothpaste.....

Chris went out with Paul

to Big Rock & hung out with Lee for a while. They came back with the biggest smiles! And for dinner we headed out to Wild Rose Brewery

& had some yummy Vegetarian food. (here's Chris trying to teach us all something.....)

It was an early night for us all because today we are heading out to Frank Slide for a bit then Nelson to see my cousin Carol, Lyle & the kids! Can't wait to hangout with them, take in the Mountains & go to the Hotsprings!!! More to come.....

Woke up this morning feeling sad that we had to leave Calgary & the amazing friends we were staying with, so we decided to stay one more day. I was kinda feeling rushed in the first place (trying to get to Nelson in time for dinner tonight & making dinner in Vancouver for Thursday night), so we thought we would take a step back & chill. It feels good to chill. This will give the boys a 2nd chance at the LEGO store, give Chris an opportunity to go visit his old friends at Big Rock Brewery & give me a chance to catch up on blogs & work as well as hang out with Gina & Paul!

Till later, ciao

What we've been up to so far: By Callym & Oscar

Since we left the 240 foot water slide our trip has been boring. I had to play ipod all day in the car. We drove to Calgary & went to the LEGO store. I bought a LEGO Star Wars set, & made my own mini~figure.

Last night was Halloween & I got a bunch of Candy! I went out with our new friends Will & Sophia. It was so much fun.

When I got back to the house, I dumped all my candy out. There was so much. I ate lots of it!

Miss you all, I hope you're having fun at school, Ozzie!

Hi, It's Callym. It's been a while since I've told you what we're doing. I'm in Calgary right now, almost ready to leave for Nelson BC. Yesterday we went to the LEGO store & got a Star Wars set & made my own mini~figures. It was so cool there. We may go back today to make a few more. It's so cool!

Last night we went trick or treating & it was a lot of fun. I hope you guys are having fun at school! I miss you all.
Talk to you later. Callym

Trip A because there isn't a Plan B

So, we're on the road. It's the start of a new chapter. Can you believe it?

 

Friday October 28, 2011

Well, it's officially our last day as residents of Winnipg Mb. It's hard, saying goodbye. I'm trying to keep busy (& there are a TON of things to keep busy doing), but I am constantly stopping & thinking. I am really going to miss the people we've met & made friends with. The places we go in our spare time, the streets, trees, parks.
This trip isn't as 'crazy, off the wall' as the last one. But it does seem more do~able, permenant. I'm so excited. I can't wait to see what is going to be waiting around the next bend. This life is so wonderful & full of advneture!
The boys are having little parties with their class today to say good~bye. It's so touching. Sweet. They've made some amazingly wonderful, caring friends here, & they're going to miss them so much!

Oscar giving & getting hugs with some of the kids in his class!

Cleaning & packing up the house is taking more mental energy then I thought. I had a slight susspision that it would come out of no~where & smack me upside the head. I was right.

Here is Twinkle making sure that we don't leave her. She is so funny!! I wonder how she's going to do on the long road trip ahead??
And here's Chris locking the door to 162 Leighton Ave for the last time :(

Last night we got to stay up late, it was our last night in Winnipeg. We stayed over at my Baba & Gido's house because our house was totally empty! While my mom & dad were at the Bomber game, we coloured pictures & had lots of fun.
When I woke up this morning for breakfast I had cereal & an apple. Then we found Twinkle, put her in the car, and started driving west. Twinkle was meoooowing for the first while. I don't think she liked it very much. But she got use to it. She slept under my dad's chair. I was kinda bored for a while, but I played 3D~Ds, iPod & did some of the activity book my firends at school gave me (thank you everyone)!!!! I also read the bouquet of handprints from my friends. They were really nice, thank you. I already miss you a lot.
Right now we're in Regina at the hotel. I had pizza for supper & am waiting to go on the 240 foot water slide.

There are only 3 sleeps left before we leave. I am feeling happy. I will miss you all so much, but this is a great adventure that I'm so excited for. I will have fun in Regina, Calgary, Vancouver, & the Island. But I hope you have fun here too!

By Callym.

There are 3 more sleeps before we leave. I am starting to get excited & sad. I'm sad because you are all my favourite friends, and I will miss you all so much. I'll never forget you. But I'm also excited for our trip & the adventure. I am excited to go to Regina because of the 240 foot water slide, Calgary because of trick or treating & the Lego store, Nelson because of Hot Springs,  Vancouver because of the Aquarium & the Island because it's our new home. In the next 3 days I hope I get to spend some time doing Halloween stuff with you guys. I will try to play with all of you before I leave. And in the next 3 days I will want to do everything I can with you. I'm staying for lunch so we have extra time together.

Thanks, Callym
