He was also there to make some connections with the hunting lodge where they went. He is a business consultant, you could say, and they need help with their business.
The one and only bird J.W shot.
Travis and Jenna have wild turkeys running on their farm, so Jason went and shot 2 of them for supper one night. The turkey strips were awesome.
First wild turkey hunt out the front door. 2 for the price of 1.
We stayed with Travis and Jenna and their busy brood of 3 over the weekend and then we left on Tuesday to travel to the great white north.
The roads were horrendous from the North Dakota border till about Grand Forks. Solid sheets of ice, but we made it safe and by passed over a dozen vehicles in the ditch along the way. It was nice to get out of the car and into a warm house. Katelyn did amazing on the two trips it took to get home as well as on the way back to Wyoming. Thank goodness for dvd players. That kept her occupied most of the time if she wasn't sleeping. I felt bad doing it but with the roads as bad as they were, it was just so much easier to keep her quiet.
We spent a lot of time at my parents. Jason was able to do some work for them. Putting up a railing around the stairs into the basement and ceiling tile in the basement. He and I took a trip to Winnipeg, alone, and drove around. Checked out some boxing day sales, but walked away with nothing. I wanted to show him the Manitoba museum and the Forks. The museum wasn't as great as I remember but still good. I think he liked it. He gave up watching the new Narnia movie for me, but the museum probably wasn't as great as the movie would have been. We drove into the Forks just to show him the venue. He thought it was cool. We were pressed for time since my cousins were coming over in the evening. So we drove home. Katelyn stayed with Auntie Janesa and Grandma.
I was able to see my girlfriends a few times, which I had missed. We picked up where we left off. I didn't see all of them but the ones I saw were probably the ones I'm closer to anyways. I saw some new babies and Katelyn just loved the new babies. Wonder if she's trying to tell me something?
She just loved Lisa's little Orrin. It was quite precious.
We were able to see my mom's side of the family on the 26th. Katelyn got to meet her 2nd cousin, Sephira and her Great-Grandpa Peters. We also took a quick 4 generation picture with my grandpa. My Grandma passed away 2 years ago so this was extra special and important that we take this picture.

New Year's eve we went to my friend, Nettie's house with other girlfriends and their families. There were about 11 kids ranging from 5 yrs old to 1 month old. It was fun. New Year's day we went to my grandpa's for lasagna. He was happy we stayed, so he could see us one more time.
We left on Jan. 2nd but we had to stop for some coffee and Timbits from Tim Horton's first. We had a flat tire after we turned onto I-94, so that put in some extra time, but we got it fixed in Miles City and made it to Billings at 9pm. It was good to get out of the car. We drove the last 1 1/2 hrs home the next day.
