Regina to Calgary

Today was a long day of driving. After a short visit at the new RANA office that opened in Regina last year, we were on the road just after 9:00. We got to Gull Lake and stopped for a picnic lunch and to run the kids for awhile. When that ended in tears, it was time to get back in the car. The only other stop we made was at Tillebrook Provinical Park for a bathroom break.  Our timing was perfect because there was a horse trailer in the parking lot with a couple of park horses. Their handler - a conservation officer brought Charlie out for us to get to know a little better.  Check it out...

With two days of long drives under our belts, the kids have been doing really well. The sit in the back and they draw pictures, colour or play with Lego. We even played a game of I Spy in that stretch after Medicine Hat where the only thing to see is brown grass and brown fence posts: "I spy with my little eye something that is brown"; "the grass!": "right! first guess". Not a lot of variety, but the kids thought it was great fun!

We arrived in Calgary with enough time for a short swim and some dinner before bed. A bit late going to bed, but it sure didn't take long for the little Gerhards to fall asleep. Dreaming of more adventures to come.
