DANA, DANA!
I went to your school and here is what I have to say:
1) It is way too freakin' cold there....in the summer. How do you survive the winter?
2) Love the two Tim Horton's on campus. The are perfectly placed near laptop stations and washrooms. IDEAL.
3) "Thunderwolves" is a great name. It gives off this feeling of intention....and fear!
4) I don't believe in places that have electrical outlets in every parking space. I think it's cruel.
5) You're my hero. The campus reminded me a little bit of Trent.....except for the fact that it's a billion hours away from civilization. You truly are AMAZING! BAHA.
CONGRATULATIONS, AIMEE!!!!!
We are SO proud of you and your new CAREER as a geologist in MARATHON, ONTARIO! Your happiness in this new position is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore!!! WAY TO GO!
We love you,
Linds and Phil
XOXO
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
This morning we participated in a 5K "CANADA DAY" run at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park! We had the most delightful company during the race, as the Guthrie's (and their adorable baby girl!) joined the fun :) Phil had the joy of pushing the jogging stroller and found out that pushing one of those (and UPHILL, in particular) can be quite tiring! A BBQ followed the event and we went home proud, with "Beaver medallions" around our necks!
Thanks for the SPLENDID day, Guthrie's!!! We are excited for our Mt. McKay climb next week!
Happy Birthday, Grandma!!!!!!
Yesterday was Grandma's birthday and we took her for breakfast at a (famous?) place called the Hoito. The pancakes were DELICIOUS (as per my sister's recommendation) and despite my PERSISTENT REFUSAL, Grandma got me a red "Hoito" t-shirt to remember the occasion. (<--- a perfect example of her stubborn-ness. She kept forgetting that it was HER birthday!).
In the afternoon, Phil and I went on a "kettle hunt", as we discovered that Grandma's kettle was a wedding gift (from HER OWN wedding!) and was minutes away from causing a fire. She seems to like the new one we gave her and loved the accompanying card that had an Oscar look-alike on the front cover! For dinner, we enjoyed some Chinese food at cousin Zan's and then some rainbow bit cupcakes compliments of the Parkinson's :)
After being here for only a few days, I am certain that she is the only person who gets younger rather than older on her birthday. GO GRANDMA GO!!!!!
Can you tell it's my first time?
On the drive to Thunder Bay....
Lindsay: Hun, be careful! There's a cat on the road up there!
Phil: Linds! That's a bear!!!
So maybe I'm still learning my animals....
P.S. We have seen one baby bear, one baby moose, and FIVE deer!!!!!
