we went on a walk







One of Brian's former college roomates, Steve lives in Abilene and has 3 kids about our kid's ages. His wife, Wendy also came to water aerobics class a few times when she was expecting their twins- (about Dominique's age). Their older son is some months older than Ivan. We all went on a walk down some bike trails near their house and I started taking pictures of things we will not see in Saskatchewan- like the flowering cactus, scorpion and scraggly mesquite trees. We were in an area that also has rattlesnakes, but fortunately I was not able to spot any.

Yesterday was wonderful, got to meet up with some friends, filled the pool for the kids and didn't pack a single thing ;)

Personally I think it's a good thing there aren't any scorpions in Sask!

Now isn't that a beautiful cactus flower! Almost as beautiful as those little children. Every region seems to have "creatures" you need to be aware of when you are crossing their territory.
