The Wonders of Saskatchewan, Day one!

Ok so a "few days" turned into a bit longer, my apologies. However, here we are now! This was the first day of our trip...


We started off in Debbie's parent's kitchen with a map and a penny. We thought maybe we would drop a penny on the map and make that our destination. Not so much. After a bit of discussion we sort of figured out where we wanted to and what we wanted to see. So off to the Dairy Bar we went for slush and ice cream
and then we headed to North Battleford. We didn't leave until almost 7ish so we planned to spend the night at Debbie's brother's place and then really started our trip the next day.

In the morning we really started out trip...

*I was reading from "The Book of Nonsense" inspiring us to write limericks about our trip, enjoy*

There was a lady of Loon Lake

Who was one day chasing a snake

She wanted to ring the bell

And she did it quite well

til the Krydorians chased her away

So we went next to Ft. Carlton

But there was no way for us to get in

So we were sad

And some were mad

And said, "I'm never going to Saskatchewan again!"

We crossed the St. Louie river

At first it did make us quiver

Once we were aboard

We opened the door

and waited impatiently for dinner.

At Batoche we had our own tour guide

and went on a golf cart ride!

There was a guy there

Who gave us a scare

Cuz he came out of everywhere!

And what's more, we all had some fun

As we saw where Riel shot a gun

We saw houses and wells

And rang old door bells

and of weird art we sure saw a tonne.

At Watrous we drove down main street

a church cleaning lady there we did meet

She led us inside

Where we did abide

and saw stained glass that was really neat...(and old!)

So we went down to Manitou Park

So we could go swim in the dark

In salt waters we float

Though we're not in a boat

In that beautiful Manitou Park

We spelt in a tent not for three

And we all slept very cozy

We lay side by side

It was stuffy inside

So in the car slept Joni-Lee!
