Success in Winnipeg

The weekend in Winnipeg was fantastic! Landed Thursday night and was met at the gate by my cousin Leigh, my sister Juli and her husband Rick; it’s always so nice to see friendly faces after getting off an airplane. I don’t think I realized just how much I liked traveling until I wasn’t doing it as much (though isn’t that always the way?) I had a stupid sized grin on my face at the Denver airport, even for a flight to Winnipeg, it just felt great to pack a bag and go somewhere!

Friday was spent at Grand Beach on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, white sand,warm water and sunshine all day long are an excellent combination. That night we hit Folklorama and the German tent was great to us (c: tall beers, singing, dancing and a fantastic night that culminated in cartwheels on the lawn!

Saturday was a family reunion out at a farm near Glenboro, tons of people I hadn’t seen in a long time and tons of people I didn’t ever know! But again, when you’re surrounded by family it’s hard to have a bad time isn’t it? Sunday started off with canoing on the Assiniboine then lead into pancakes and wrapped up with good-byes all around.
