Flin Flon...Flintabbatey Flonatin!

After two FANTASTIC shows in The Pas, we hit Highway 10 (which goes through Brandon by the way) all the way north to Flin Flon!  At this point, we are 9 hours from home...
via van.

An hour and a half later we finally made it to Flin Flon!



Guess how the town got its' name?!


For the next two nights we are staying at the beautiful Bakers Narrows Lodge outside of Flin Flon.

Tristan makes friends wherever he goes!
Our next-door cabin neighbours!
Want a fly-in fishing excursion?!  Bakers Narrows has it!

View from the Dock.

We were all ready to use the slide but then noticed the state of the lake.

Lucky for us "Rosie the Riveter" stopped by to make us a delicious dinner!


All in all, we love it here and are having a great time! Thanks for finding this gem Cathy!  Love to everyone at home!  xo!

When You're the Best of Friends...


Spending many hours in the van together (not to mention, every waking hour) has helped us get to know each other real well!  Here are some great shots from the fun we've shared on the road.

Tristan with our buddies Gunner and Jupiter at the Straw Bale Guesthouse outside Boissevain, "Room to Grow".

 The gals in front of Tommy the Turtle in Boissevain.  Can you spot Googe?!


The boys.

There is a lot of fun to be had exploring!

The Tree Fort.

Making more friends!

We are always lucky to have access to a kitchen when on the road.  When we do, we join forces to make some incredible meals!
Tristan and Heather making the salads.
JoAnna working on the pasta.

Many hands make light work!

And in the mornings, when we are really lucky...we get a real treat!
