Summer time in Saskatchewan, is a time to
enjoy the warmth, the land and your family. Lorna, Lauren and I spend our
free time at a lake near Saskatoon called Wakaw Lake. Some of our favorite
things to do at the lake can be seen with a quick look at the photos above
and below. To beat the heat we have a blow up swimming pool that is just
big enough for all three of us to fit in at the same time. An evening trip
to the Ice Cream Store shows Lauren wearing a milky moustache. Mommy and
Daddy like to golf at Wakaw Lake and Lauren tries to drive the golf cart.
Dad and Lauren fish off the end of the dock and, what do you know, we caught
the cutest little perch. A quick kiss good-bye and we send the little fish
back in the water to swim away. Oh what wonderful memories are made at the
lake. We can hardly wait until next year. * big sigh * |

Every August the Ex comes to Saskatoon. The fall fair comes with all of
the excitement that you can imagine. There is something for everyone. Arts,
crafts, paintings and photos from the local talent are judged and on display.
There is also music, dancing, gambling, exhibits and one of dads favorites,
the food fair. Ummm, the food fair! The rides at the Ex are always popular
and Lauren is just big enough to enjoy them. Watching Lauren’s face while
on the kids rides is like re-living my own childhood. In the photo's above
Daddy rides on the Merry Go Round with Lauren and Molly (Lauren’s Cousin)
rides in the duck with Lauren. This year we got together with Andrea (Trevor’s
Sister) and her family along with both sets of Lauren’s grandparents to
go to the Ex. That way we all get to enjoy the event together. Lorna, Lauren
and I have a tradition at the Ex. We get funny photo’s of ourselves taken
by one of the carnies in his digital photo booth. You may remember pics
from previous years where Lorna and I were things like; WWF Wrestlers, NHL
Hockey players, John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in Grease, or all three
of us as Teletubbies. If you haven’t seen those pictures you should take
a look back in the previous months pages for August 2000 and 2001. They are worth a look. This
year as you can see me as Agent 007, James Bond in one photo and Austin
Powers in the other. Lorna, of course, is my leading lady. Lauren is the
cute little bunny if you couldn’t guess. These photos are lots of fun for
us and they make for a nice memory of the Ex each year. |
