That is exactly what I decided to do!  Get outta town. With the anxiety of a summer almost over, I decided to head out on one more adventure with my kids.

For many years, I have wanted to revisit the town that I was born in. I moved from there when I was 7 and have never been back. That is 26 years!!

The town is Rosthern,Saskatchewan. It is located about 40 mins north of Saskatoon. My parents had moved there to run a funeral home and ambulance service. The first 7 years of my life were filled with adventure. We left early in the morning, played all day, and returned when it was dark. If my parents wanted to find me they just drove up and down the streets and looked for our pet wiener dog named “Beans” who would wait outside of whichever house we happened to be in.

My sister, brother in law, and niece decided to join us as well. It was a really busy 3 days but  so worth it!

Here are some pictures of our ride out there. We stopped several times along the way to take pictures of anything we thought was cool. We were in no rush and wanted to make the most of it. I was so glad to be able to take some pictures of my own kids! There is so much I have to share with you but here is the beginning of our adventure…

If you’ve driven to Saskatchewan you already know that the drive will look something like these following images… 1. long, long stretches of flat roads 2. lots of dead bugs on your car and 3. cow bums

My soon to be 12 year old son is out to sabotage my images… always making a funny face

This is my 6 year old. He is my best poser. Always happy to stop for a picture!
