On Thursday night on the way home from work Dale was in an accident with his Altima. He's doing fine but the car may be a write off. We'll see what MPI has to say when they get to it. Luckily we had a bit of a holiday planned for the next week because I think we all needed a break from life.
We left Winnipeg on Sunday afternoon on the way East to the Whiteshell Prov. Park and Pinewood Lodge http://mypinewood.com which is on the south side of the lake from Pinawa. We booked a suite with a full kitchen so we brought our own food with us. Good thing too because other than a small convenience store that's part of the Lodge complex, there isn't much around for miles and miles! The facilities were beautiful and Sarah really enjoyed the pool. We were in there at least twice a day for the two days we were there. On Monday it was nice and mild (-10 or so) so we did some tobogganing down the hill and onto the lake. Sarah just wouldn't believe us that we were actually on the lake because it was frozen over and had about a foot of snow on it. Sarah had so much fun that she desperately didn't want to come home today. Of course, once she was home life was good - she was getting tired of the toys that we brought with us.
Sarah's vocabulary continues to expand and she just gets busier and busier. Her latest is her pronunciation of avocado (africado) which is hilarious.
Sarah is also starting to lose her afternoon nap (such a sad state of affairs for me) so some days she'll sleep and some days she won't but she still stays in her room for an hour and a half (I need the break) if she doesn't sleep.
The pool which was in the middle of the resort building. The rooms were set up around the outside of it. We were in one of the biggest rooms - our room was the one just above Dale's head. We had a view of the lake outside our kitchen window. Very nice. This is a very popular place during the summer. Its very much cottage country.
Super swimmer Sarah now has no fear in the water. What a change from 2 months ago when we started swimming lessons again. She'll launch herself out of your arms into the water. She's so sure that you're going to catch her...
Sunset from our kitchen window with the lake on the other side of the trees. I used an upside down pot on the window sill as a tripod. Too bad about the hydro pole - I couldn't avoid it.
