We were invited to have dinner with the family who helped us find our wonderful cabin in Sioux Lookout. They had beautiful children, and we were grateful that we were able to spend time with them....and also have a free meal :)
The kids loved Susy singing the pony song :)...Christina and Sara had never heard the song before...so Susy was not just singing for the kids...she was also singing for the "big kids" haha!!
They had a dog named Harley, and when we entered their home he started going BONKERS...and by bonkers we mean he was so excited he was running so fast he stayed in one place (they had hardwood flooring)
The little one is so precious... it was nice to see happy people, in a happy home..who are so devoted to their children
We had Chili for supper, which was AWESOME! We also had garlic bread and ate cookies, ice cream, and blueberry crumble!! We were definitely spoiled by this family :)
The Family was nice enough to lend us their snow shoes (REAL SNOW SHOES) for the remainder of our time here in the north! We also discussed with them going to reserves that are further north, where we will only be able to go in by plane. The family has a few friends that fly north on a regular basis, who may be willing to take us... now that would be something!! Below is a picture of Susy getting ready to put the snow shoes in the back of the beast around 6:30 pm..we were just on our way to Winnipeg to fix our cellphone situation as we all had no service in Sioux Lookout.
We finally arrived to Manitoba at 10 to 10. The roads were in bad condition, but Christina is a superhero and was able to drive us all the way through :)!
This picture was taken at a gas station, around 11:15.. 15 minutes from where we were staying...it was very cold out, and all of the trees branches were covered in icicles...we were glad to finally make it. When we arrived at the motel we decided to make some popcorn and throw on Romy and Michele's High School Reunion...needless to say we all fell asleep pretty quickly. When Susy woke up in the middle of the night, Sara was hogging her and Christina's bed (they were snuggle buddies for the night) ...Christina had no blankets and not even a quarter of the bed...Sara did pre-warn her she was a bed hog. Sara woke up once during the night..and saw that not only did Christina not have any room on the bed..but that she was also playing big spoon..and had her arm wrapped around Christina....trying not to giggle she rolled over to give her some room to breathe...only to find herself waking up doing the same thing....lesson learned and note to self..NO ONE SLEEP IN THE SAME BED WITH SARA
