Road Trip!!!

This weekend was quite an adventure! Karen called Tuesday night and said "I think I am going to buy a ticket and come to Halifax for the weekend. Want to go see Dee?" And she was serious and so we did! Karen flew in Friday night, and early Saturday morning I picked her and Alicia up in Halifax and then Meredith just past the airport. On ward we were to surprise Dee.

The laughter began with Alicia, Karen, and myself seeing this random moose in the back of a truck. So random, but then again...it is Nova Scotia.


We really wanted us arriving to be a surprise, which was hard as it is a small town and we weren't sure if she would spot us quickly or not. When we arrived we called and called in hopes to be talking to her on the phone as we rang the door bell, but she wasn't in. Here is us sneaking around her house.


After the many hugs and touching the belly, we headed for a walk to see the sights of McAdam. Here is the gang.


After numerous photos around town we head back to eat and talk. We looked at pics and remembered old times, while creating new ones with each other and our new friend Meranda. She is so nice. What a blessing she is to Dee. As the night progressed, things turned silly. The ballons which were meant to decorate for the baby shower part turned in to fake prego bellies. What a blast. You should see the individual pics. So funny and some look pretty realistic! Here we are. Can you find the real prego in the pic?


After church, we had lunch a the best local restaurant, and it was great. Good food for a low price. Then one last photo session before hitting the road.

I love this pic.

It was an incredible weekend, and I am so glad I was able to make it. Thanks Josh, Fe and Jule for letting me cancel on our outing! There are so many other memories but it is hard to write everythin on this one blog entry. I have added one last pic of Ginger after she got spaded. She looks for cute with her cone, but the eyes are a little freaky.

Lastly, check out Dee's blog to see more pics and get a different point of view.
