This is 45, back in Alberta!

Lynsey made it home from Europe in one piece! I haven't included any of her pictures because I feel like she should really be the one to share pictures from her own trip that we weren't a part of. Sounds like she had a wonderful trip! She got home Tuesday night and has been catching up on sleep since:-). I'm glad she had such a fun experience! Maybe it will give her an appetite for travel, I guess we will see.

The rest of us just plodded along while she was gone, nothing too exciting happened. Brian and I went out for dinner last Friday which was nice, had a pretty laid back weekend. Lynsey got home Tuesday as I mentioned and she helped out a the school volleyball camp Thursday and Friday. I was busy getting ready to go away for nine days and to have company when we get back from our trip. Friday was my birthday and it was a really nice day! Brian came to my Body Pump class at the gym which was neat, it wasn't a breeze for him let's just say that:-D. We went out for dinner as a family to McMenamins in Bothell which was lovely. The next day we left at 7am to go to Alberta. The trip was smooth at the beginning, even met up with Mike and Annie in Salmon Arm (they were on their way west). Unfortunately this good fortune did not last. There was a one lane closure just west of Golden. Google lied to us saying it was only a 10 minute delay but it was not - it was close to an hour. I was quite irritated by that but such is life on the Highway 1, so sick of that highway already. We ended up getting to Mark and Frances's house around 9:30pm. Such a long day! Happy to be here!

We went to Bobbi and Jer's house yesterday and it was a great visit as always. Today we went to Cochrane to spend some time with Grandma Penner. Having a great time so far, many good times to come I'm sure! Looking forward to visiting more friends and family this week!
