France trip

In June we went to visit my sister and her family in their new house in the French countryside. I use the term "new" loosely, the house dates back to the 16th century, they even have a fossil in their paving stones! Their village is called Duex-Evailles, is in the Mayenne region and has just a few houses, a tiny school and the church (whose bell starts ringing at seven in the morning). The house sits on about 8 acres of land, some of which is walled off for a back yard that is full of fruit trees including a huge cherry tree, which is where we ate most of our meals. For the most part we stayed around the house as the girls were still in school.

Roadtrip!

We had to go and get Big Blue from the dealership in Hay River (part of the deal we got) but Josh was working when it was delivered, so Monica came with. We got to ride with Buffalo Joe himself in the DC3. We landed just before 6, found the truck in the parking lot, stopped to get some padkos (food for the road) and made it back to Yellowknife sometime after 11 I think.

Josh and I are the proud owners of a shiny new truck. Monica snapped this picture outside the hangar of Big Blue with a gleam in her eye, and Li'l Pink hiding in the shadows!

Just some more pictures, mainly of the Danish doggies. Also I forgot to add the link to Wiki for Alert, so here it is.
