in honour of Grandpa

My grandparents live in a small town up north.  Over the years they have made a big impact on their community, especially in things health-related, since my Grandpa invested many years as the ambulance unit chief and chairman of the hospital board, among other things.  This past weekend a dinner was held in honour of my grandpa and his years of service in the community.  We took it as a chance to call it a long-weekend and visit them.  Many other family members road-tripped to be there, and we all had a great weekend together.  Our trip in photos...

Micah ate a lot of snow.  We warned him not to eat any yellow snow!

pretty impressive, eh?

Micah's first day of tobogganing

He loved it.  What a thrill-seeker.  Even as a two-year-old.

Sarah and I had Grandma teach us her pattern for knit dishcloths

yay!  Grandma was a great teacher.

I think Uncle Craig and Micah adored each other... so sweet.

Halle fell asleep shortly after we set out on our Sunday afternoon family walk.
