So anyway this weekend we went down to Uncle Tony's cabin. One of the best places in the world that's for sure. Who doesn't love the mountains and snow with the perfect cabin tucked away in all that? So relaxing.
We left Lloydminster on Thursday and spent the night with Dan's parents. Got up kinda early to go to the Magrath clinic for my final Hep B shot. (what a way to start the holiday hey?) After that quick stab we went to my parentals where Dan stayed while I went and visited the Doig's. Love that family. :)
We left for Montana only after we raided my parents fridge and pantry. We had no problems crossing through the border so we zipped on down only delayed partly by bad roads. But they really weren't bad by my standards.. just by the Texas driver in front of us.. I mean really... It's snow. Nothing to out of the ordinary.. (well maybe a little this winter)
Got to the cabin and Daniel proceeded to get Stanley the wonderful Honda Civic stuck. Oh well we had a truck and a quad to pull him out. The snow was perfect there. Snowman perfect. (we'll get to that later)
We met my parents at Famous Dave's to devour an "entire chicken". It is that delicious!
We played scrabble and down the river. (we played up the river later).
Saturday. The Snow Day. Oh Yeah!
Remember that perfect snow I was talking about?
As I said. PERFECT snow. weather. weekend. LOVELY! It was nice and warm out. we even played a little on the quad and took it for a spin.
Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of everything. We went down to the lake as in the picture above. And then went crusing and did a drive by. :) haha ya know. Then we went shopping. Oh the haul you can get in the states.
Sunday came way to quickly. We woke up to another foot of snow. haha thats right. You thought we had a lot to begin with down there... oh no.. there was more to come.
The snow added over night to our snowman
So we made breakfast. YUMMM!!!
Went to church (obviously in the truck though Dan wanted to take the quad) came backed and cleaned but left time to play in the new powder.

Gotta get some snowboarding in of course.. haha I am that skilled.
It was a blast. Makes me wanna go somewhere more often!!! :)
So crossing back through the border I had to pick up something for Greg that was wrapped in a box. I left it in the box and went to the border where the guard ask us the usual questions. Then asked what was in the box. I said "I dunno. It's my step dad's"
Guard " you need to claim it in your cash value."
Me " I did. It was a hundred dollars ish"
Guard " Oh okay. What is it?|
Me " I don't know. My Dad told me but I don't remember. Want us to open it?"
Guard "Yeah lets do that."
So Daniel proceeded to open the box. Once it was open the object was covered in that brown packing paper. The suspense was on.
Guard says..." .... and its a....... hand gun?!?!"
Daniel " I hope not"
opens it and pulls out the volt reader hidden in the box and shows it to the guard.
Guard " oh well thats allowed."
gives us our passports and lets us through. Kinda funny, though you never know if you're suppose to laugh at them when they say that stuff. (I did.)
haha there is our weekend in a nutshell. sorry for the overload.
