Our Weekend Away

Two weekends ago we went to Lang for the weekend. Bryan & Micah were planning to go to Regina to the football game so we decided to make a weekend out of it. I didn't know when we would be able to go down there again.

Granmda with her "puppy". Yes, our children are scared of this puppy as well. Although last time, they freaked out & this time they asked for it. My Grandma Heiberg has birds and she let Evod, her dove, out of the cage. This was when Bryan & Micah were gone with the camera so I didn't get a picture. Simon & Calleigh weren't too sure about petting Evod.

Grandma & Grandpa West came from Ogema for supper & the evening. We usually try to make it Ogema as well but it is just too much to fit into a weekend so they came to Lang for a visit. We appreciated that.

Grandma gave mittens to the kids. Calleigh loved them so much that she wore them while playing. I wanted to get a picture of them on the stairs because that is something we used to always do as children but with all us grandchildren. It would have been 13 at the time.
Most of you know that our kids are terrified of animals. Micah has grown out of that and is fine. He still prefers not to pet them but that is fine. I am the same. Simon is still so scared of any dog. He freaked out when he saw Maya(not sure how you spell it) & spent some time on the back of the couch then moved to a dining room chair & stood on that, even with Maya on a leash. Calleigh wasn't too sure at first but then started talking to Maya saying, "whatcha doing Maya?" By the end of the evening, Calleigh was walking Maya around the house on a leash, to the point where Maya was wanting someone to rescue her. then when Maya layed down, Calleigh said, "Oh don't be shy Maya, you can come out, it's okay"

We had such a great time there. It was a nice relaxing weekend for me. I enjoyed it so much. It was good just to enjoy time with family and not have to think of all that I needed to do at home.
