Monday September 1st, 2014


Not as long a day as the last few days.  We are only at 450 km from Jeremy's place.
Our room at the Colonial Inn in Brandon.  The view from the room.
 

We had a few minutes of rain at the beginning of the day, but then the sun showed up on the prairies...


Welcome to Saskatchewan.


I only took this photo because I had a Chrysler Windsor almost like this one when I was 14 or 15.  Mine was a 4 doors and I only drove it in the back fields...


After close to 2900 km we finally arrive at Jeremy, Danielle and Gabriel's place in the PMQ.
 

Jérémy!


Danielle is not here because Jeremy and Danielle are splitting up.
Danielle comes every day for a few hours and Gabriel will be staying at Jeremy's until we leave in a few weeks.
This is a very nice gesture from Danielle's part and we sure do appreciate it.

Our grandson Gabriel.  Get ready because in the next few weeks you will see a lot of photos of Gabriel.


A short while before going to bed for the night.


We are still very happy to see all 3 of them regardless of the situation.

What are they looking for?


Pick-a-boo!


Just watching a little TV.


I have to say, we are not used to having a busy little Gabriel all day with us...


Sometime we had to recharge the batteries...


Time to make bubbles.


Gabriel can cut the grass too!


Bicycle, car, tough choices.
 

Attack!


After a busy day and a bath, time to relax before bedtime.
 

We are having so much fun with Gabriel.



Wednesday September 3, 2014


Morning smiles.


A good sandwich for lunch.
 

Gabriel and Grand-Maman having fun with a ball on the couch.  Can you see the ball?


Danielle on her way for Gabriel's haircut.


Gabriel really needs a haircut.


To keep Gabriel busy while cutting his hair, they gave him a bottle to spray hair.
 

The funny guy sprayed himself!


And others.


So handsome now!


Watching TV before bedtime.
 

More TV before bedtime!!!!!


A very good day with Gabriel and Jérémy



Thursday September 4, 2014


"I am in stealth mode."


"I am almost there."


"Oh no!  You saw me!"


We had to go for a short walk before dîner.  Since it had rained a lot in the last few days, the puddles are pretty full.
 


Of course Gabriel fell in the puddles, he is a little cold and wet.


Hummm!  Grilled-cheese.
 

The chef at work.


More photos of Gabriel.
 
 

Gabriel and Grand-Maman watching Jeremy.


Just a normal day...
 
 




Friday September 5, 2014


Lunch with Nutella...
 


Just before bedtime.




Saturday September 6, 2014


This morning there is a family fun day on base.  Gabriel had a lot of fun in the Jolly Jumps (Bouncy Castles).

After lunch and a good nap, we went to a playground in town.
Gabriel watching some older kids playing with worms.


"I can do it!"
 

"Hi ha!"
 

Some swing time.
 

Just having fun!
 
 


Danielle has been playing Roller Derby for the past few months and her team is the "Jaw Breakers".
Tonight we are at the game to watch her play.  Her number is 300 and her player's name is "Danarchy".

The "rink".


Danielle is in the center of both photo.
 

A few moments before the game starts.


Of they go, Danielle is in front of the pack.


Between both periods they have a mini Zamboni cleaning the rink.


We really enjoyed the game.
It was a good thing that Danielle had showed us a video and explained the game last evening.  It made it a lot easier to follow the game.

A Sunday at home...

Gabriel doing some horseback riding.


A selfie with Grand-Maman.


Reading a book!


Coming back from his nap.
 

We are on our way to the local playground up the street.


"I can use the big kids slide".
 
 


Danielle bought an automatic bubble maker.


Dîner time with one tired Gabriel.
 

After a good bath, a good hug with daddy.


A little bit of fun before bedtime.


It has been a busy week with our grand-son Gabriel.



Monday September 8, 2014


A gray Monday with a maximum of 12.

Gabriel has some eggs for breakfast.


Gabriel playing at "sleeping"...


Here he is explaining stuff about his horse.
 

Trucks and other machinery to keep busy during the day.


Gabriel is having a nap and so am I...


Light rain all day makes it an indoor day.



Tuesday September 9, 2014


The weather is very cool for this time of the year, we had a +1 C last night.

A busy morning with Gabriel.
We played hide-and-seek!


With aircrafts...
 

With boxes.
 

And for lunch, we went to McDonald.


But before we eat, Gabriel plays in the play area.
Up he goes...
 

An out of control descent...


Playing like that sure makes you hungry!


I skyped with my brother in the afternoon and Gabriel listened for a while.
 

Gabriel hiding in his fort.


Some reading.


A snack with daddy before going to bed.




Wednesday September 10, 2014


Just some more photos of Gabriel...
 
   

This morning, we are going to Regina, more precisely at Costco, with Danielle for some shopping.
Gabriel is watching a movie as we head to Regina.
 

After all the shopping is done, we are driving back to MJ and Gabriel could not resist...


After a good nap, some reading with Daddy.


Grand-Maman spoiling Gabriel with ice-cream.


Once the bath is done we went for a walk and looked at airplane as they flew by.


Where is daddy?


Here he is.




Thursday September 11, 2014



This morning the contractors are in to change both doors of the PMQ.  It will be cold in the house as it is only +2 C outside.

Gabriel has fun in a half open tunnel.
Can you see him?       "I am out!"
 

We only have two eggs for breakfast and I decide to give them to Gabriel.   Usually, he eats only one.
 

Well!   I only ate two forks of the eggs !?!?!?!?

Gabriel's nap was some good because he slept through all the noise the contractors made.

Gabriel is very good at eating corn on the cob.


A quiet evening at home.
I forgot!  Danielle has an interview in Regina at the Delta Inn tomorrow for a job.  We wish you good luck Danielle.



Friday September 12, 2014


Another easy day at home for us.


We are going out for a walk before diner.


Danielle had her job interview today and by late in the day she texted us that she had the job.  That is all we know for now!



Saturday September 13, 2014


A lot of wind and rain for today.
Jeremy is working overtime today.  A good thing we are here because Danielle has a roller derby game out of town.

So, we have fun with Gabriel.
 
 
 
 


My size of Cheeseburgers!


Got to watch some cartoons before bedtime.


We are spending as much time as possible with Jeremy and Gabriel as we will be leaving tomorrow morning and head back home.



Sunday September 14, 2014


We have a big day ahead of us!


Jeremy is getting ready for the "Battle of Britain" parade.
 


Gabriel trying to find where is dad!


The color party.


The parade takes place in front of the Harvard.


The parade with Jeremy in the back row.
 

The sun is too bright for Gabriel!


Once the parade is over we are of to the Wakamow park with Gabriel.
 
 

We are inspecting the wood chips.
 
 

A plane?


We are all looking for the cat.
 


Dinner already!
 
 

Clean-up time.
 
 

A snack before bedtime and even a little play time.

 

Tomorrow we are heading back to Trenton.
We have had a lot of fun with Jeremy and Gabriel.

As for you Danielle, good luck in your new journey.



Monday September 15, 2014


We are leaving this morning.
Goodbye Gabriel and Jeremy.


One last goodbye to Gabriel and Danielle.


Moose Jaw.


The sun is hiding behind the clouds.


And we are now in Manitoba!


If you look quickly, it looks like a field of marshmallows.
 

Shortly after Brandon, we stopped for a short time to visit Robbyn.


We stop for fuel in Winnipeg because fuel is very expensive in northern Ontario.


Ontario, here we come.


We use Trivago.ca to find cheaper room and it saved us between $25 and $50 a night.
This one in Kenora is $90, it is clean and newly renovated
 

After 875 kilometers, it is nice to stop and get out of the car.

Until next time.

Life is good...
