We Just Got Back...

...from a trip to my hometown, Oxbow, Saskatchewan. My DH Cory prompted this spur-of-the-moment trip since work was slow. So we headed out on Thursday and stopped to visit our friends, the Allans who just moved onto an acreage near Medicine Hat. We stayed overnight and met Dawn's parents, toured their new home and went hot tubbing...we had a really fun time & their new place is amazing!
We arrived in Oxbow on Friday after driving on very icy roads for most of the trip. We stayed with my parents and had a wonderful time. We really wanted to go to Oxbow to check out my Dad's new ice-fishing shack (will be pulled off of the ice on March 15th) and to look at lots in my hometown, since it's so expensive in Calgary (don't worry, we're not making a decision anytime soon, just thinking about it). We did a wide variety of things while there and of course I took a ton of photos. So here's some snapshots of our quick little trip...thanks Mom & Dad for everything.
