So where did you eat your Thanksgiving turkey this year? Le Gardeur? Not bad... Fredericton? Allright... Stratford? Pretty good...
But nothing compares to sharing a wonderful dinner and a super weekend in rainy St-Pierre-Jolys, Manitoba!
Yes, we enjoyed a West Jet stand-up routine, and a lovely flight to Winnipeg, followed by a drive to St-Pierre (this is no small trip to the dépanneur), and then a weekend of playing, eating and visiting friends and family.
While we were visiting, Alice did a lot of walking, read some nice books, and slept very well in the fresh country air.
Here are some of the visual memories...
A little bit more pacifier than usual on the plane... we didn't want to upset our fellow passengers
(but what a great traveller Alice was)
Reading a good book with mémère
Finding goodies in the toy suitcase with pépère
Breakfast at the Norwood - a big trip to the city!
Pépère on his horse.
Giddy up.
Alice collected a nice big carrot to feed the horses (straight from mémère and pépère's garden)
Alice was so excited about the horses. She kept clicking her tongue, which is the sign for horse. She even got to touch their noses!
Thanksgiving dinner with daddy, mémère, Great pépère Armand, Great mémère Claire, Great matante France and pépère. Surrounded by love!
One of the biggest hits of the weekend - a toy stroller! Alice even put a few things in the seat to push them around.
Visiting with some of Alice's second cousins (twice removed?) On the left is Katryn, who is only one month older than Alice (but what a quick little walker. Alice couldn't keep up!) On the left is Nicole, a much bigger cousin!
When it's this good, you learn to use a spoon.
It wasn't sunny in St-Pierre, but we had fun with the sunglasses anyway.
