The Prairies




Stayed at Arrowhead July 27 and 28 outside of Winnipeg nice camp site for touring has secure internet
Winnipeg zoo





favourite creature red panda looks like a bear and raccoon mix!!!









Louis Riel museum a bit of heritage for the girls

Gray sisters love  the book Jeanne Fille du Roy


Left after 2 nights stayed at Wallmart
Then off to Buffalo Pounds national park loved the hills and coulees






see our rv





how can you lose 1000 bison!

Stayed at Trail Campground near Swift Current good overnight place

Moved on but
we got stuck!!!!!!!!!! Big Bad Story in Maple Creek
Wrong Road.... no not the Wrong Road ... need to turn around but NOT in an old parking lot
it was a "calamudy? of  errors" as Bob said once I spoke to him again
But it all worked out thanks to the RCMP who directed traffic and calmed Bob down and Good Sam who payed for the tow 
Ask Bob about jumping out of the emergency exit
Ask Lynn about the transport not stopping and us in the rv laying on the horn ... he did stop once he realized we were stuck
In all we were fortunate and were able to go on our way

Cool observatory and presentation 

Loved Dinosaur park



View from under the awning 




Sabrina was the only one that evening to climb the big mountain (hill)



Tried but just could not get a grip 

Very slippery since it had rained  

Be careful!

coming down

looks a little tricky but Julia manages

Lynn's turn ... not so good


and she falls

yep it was a laugh

Julia and Sabrina up the mountain next day










up to another mountain coming down was quite the challenge 


Yes that is me and Sabrina (that is the one that got me the first day)

Frame that! yes that is Julia and Sabrina

Look at those girls!

Favourite family picture



Shabby saying where is home?



 grain elevator

 That is all for now on to the Rockies
