Action Packed Weekend ...

We decided to go to Alberta ...

leaving around 8:00 in the morning to go watch James hockey games ...

We hoped the weather was going to be good for travelling ...

we encountered a bit of slush and snow covered roads near the border ...

We were surprised when we turned off the #3 highway onto the #22 ...

there we were almost blown off the road with 124 km winds ...

Mike had to have a strong grip on the steering wheel ...

We made it to the arena ... just in time to watch the game ...

James scored the first two goals in that game ...

the kids had a really good game ... !!!

After the hockey game ... I decided to head into Okotoks and go to Costco ...

Craig wanted to come with me ... the rest of them went home ...

we had a fun time shopping and when we were done ...

I wanted to get the Buick washed before heading back to the house ....

It was a sunny day and everyone else had the same idea ...

we ended up having to wait in line for some time ...

So Craig made himself comfortable ... and once we were in the Touchless Car Wash ...

Craig was acting up and making comments ...

as soap and water was covering the car ...

The grandchildren were so excited to receive their gifts from ...

Uncle Ian, Aunt Kendall, Daigen & Nixon ...

money and Pokemon cards ... was perfect ... !!!

Later on we played games ... Grandpa at Twister ...

Grandma in goal playing mini stick hockey with James ...

Family gathering around to watch the UFC fights for part of that evening ...

then venturing over to the next door neighbour to watch the fights with Kyle ...

Kyle had worked for Mike at one time and now is working with Nathan ...

Sunday morning back at the arena to watch another hockey game ...

Ella was busy colouring in the concession area ...

 

Ella had asked me earlier if she could paint my fingernails ... before the Super Bowl game ...

and once we were finished with lunch ...

we cleared the table and she began to paint my nails ...

first with a the pink colour for the base ...

then she proceeded to give each nail an artistic flare ...

with her designs ...

We were all set to watch the Super Bowl game ...

with a few friends that came to have a visit with us as well ...

Lots of Super Bowl finger foods were prepared ...

all set out on the table for everyone to help themselves ...

We were watching the football game ...

while the kids were playing a hockey game behind us ...

It was an exciting game ... there was only 2 of us rooting for Denver ...

the rest of the gang thought that South Carolina would of taken the game ...

We were doing the happy dance when Denver won ... Yippee ... !!!

Mike and I left for home after the game ...

it was a clear night and hardly anyone on the road ...

It was a busy ... fun ... weekend ... !!!
