This happened a long time ago. Our internet is acting up so we've been having difficulty posting.
We went to Tyler's grandparents in Wisconsin the first night of our trip (Saturday). We were planning on meeting Brian, Courtney, and Kendall in Fargo on Sunday evening so we had all day to do only 4-5 hours of driving. We thought it'd be a good idea to stop at the Mall of America and let the kids run around for a while. Diddy made an appearance as well.
We spent the night in Fargo and left for Saskatoon early Monday morning. I got one of these when we crossed the border. I was pretty excited...like nerdy excited.
This was our first stop once we crossed the border. Tim Horton's are everywhere up there, kind of like McDonald's down here. They are mostly known for their donuts and coffee (at least that's what they're know for in the Johnson family) but they have a little bit of everything.
Well, hello there! You look awfully cute. I hope you're enjoying sitting in your seat...because you're never getting out of it!!! Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha.
The kids and I enjoying a movie. We pulled this feature out at strategic times, like the end of our really long driving days. It really helped get us through those last few hours (the hours Asher would have otherwise been screaming).
After the funeral, there was a little dinner for the family and some close friends. Here is Tyler's cousin, Karmyn, and her husband, Ben, taking a lovely family photo with Asher. Aren't they cute?!
Addilyn and her band of houligans. This group really enjoyed getting to play together. And Addilyn keeps telling me how much she loves her cousin Jamie.
Grandma Epp with Elias. Grandma Epp reminded me that it was Elias' 3-month birthday. I can see where Cheryl gets her affinity for numbers/dates.
Asher hanging out with Tyler's cousin Max.
Asher had more trouble with these two ladies. He wasn't sure which one was Grandma Epp so he'd just give them both a hug.
Addilyn (and Tyler's cousin Denita) with the Epp women. They had more trouble getting a picture of the four of them. They were either talking or had their eyes closed in almost every picture. It was pretty funny to watch.
Ben hanging with Elias.
Addilyn looking impish.
Canadian soda!!
Cornelius at the border.
Our final day of driving it was stinking cold. This was the lowest temperature we were able to document. Crazy cold!
And this was our view for most of the trip (the last day it was sunny but the rest was like this but overcast). Snow and nothing else for as far as the eye can see.
Addilyn entertaining herself (mostly under her blanket). They all did remarkably well considering they spent nearly all of their waking hours in the car for 4 out of 5 days.
The explosion of stuff after we got back.
