The Lake & our anniversary

We drove up to Candle Lake, where Lindsays parents have their motorhome, on Friday evening as soon as Lindsay had finished work, and grabbed some dinner on the way. Me, Lindsay & Mum stayed in what they call a 5th wheel, which is like a large caravan (don't know how else to explain it), at the same RV park as L's parents.

It pretty much rained the entire weekend, but we still went over to Waskasui on Saturday, to look around the shops and see the resort, which is in the middle of Prince Albert National Park. In the evening we went to visit some friends who have a cabin at the lake (it's a beautiful cabin that they built themselves!). Then this morning got up and played games, we taught the 'olds' how to play Uno Extreme, which they all found very funny, especially when I got loads of cards fired at me.

We got to see a lot of wild deer, all just wandering next to the road, Mum loved it.

I have to admit that today was weird, I guess partly cos we were with L's parents and my Mum, not quite how I had imagined our first anniversary. But we left L's parents up at the lake and drove back with Mum this afternoon, then dumped Mum at L's parents house so we could go out and celebrate for the evening. But both of us felt pretty tired, so just had a small bite to eat at Boston Pizza, then came home for a quiet night in. I think we'll probably go out for a 'posh' dinner next weekend, when we have more time.

Happy Anniversary you guys! Sounds like a nice get-away, even though it was raining the whole time... this is really wierd weather for Saskatchewan - feels like we're living in BC.

It's good that you at least got a bit of alone time on your anniversary, Chris & I have spent more than one anniversay at the church with a bunch of youth! :)
