Reunion and the trip to the states

Well we had so much fun at my Mom's side of the familys' reunion. There were family I haven't seen since I was 8 years old (which is quite awhile) :dribble:

Uncles and Aunts were everywhere, my cousins Judy, Pam and Sue just wouldn't stop hugging me, I used to live with them when I was 16 (they're all in their 40's now). My uncle tom started a food fight, of which he got the worst. My brother who I don't see often came for the reunion as he was only at Clear lake (about 65 miles away), it was nice to see him as he's not a very healthy guy, and doesn't travel much because of it.

Kathleen said she hasn't seen me have so much fun, or laugh so much in a long time. She said it made her feel good so see me having such a good time. The reunion was held on my cousins property 5 miles out of Brandon which is about 125 miles from Winnipeg. All in all the weekend was a blast.

 

Now the trip to Grand Forks.

We stayed in a hotel in Brandon, and left Sunday for Grand Forks. Car ran great, 01 Grand AM, the one we're buying this weekend. We had reservations at the Comon-inn, beautiful place, huge pool and six hot tubs no waiting :) The breakfast they served was unbeleivable, all kinds of fruit, huge waffles(you made them yourself), muffins, baggles, donuts, toast, different cereals, several juices, three different kinds of cappichino, and all the coffee you could drink. We shopped and shopped for two days and started to get worried that we were over our limit for paying duty (we were under ;)

Had a great ride back, but was glad to be home. This was just a pre-curser for our big trip, we may go down again before the snow flies, and we have enough cash to go.
