Back to Michigan

After our 5 days in Edmonton and the drive back home, I flew out to Michigan again to see Jon. We met his family in downtown Chicago over the weekend, and spent the rest of the week up in Ann Arbor where he goes to school. We had a great week, even though Jon was busy with work and school. Unfortunately, we didn't take too many pictures this time. This is the best one and it's not very good. Obviously. Oh well. And here is Wendy, my friend from Calvin who lives in Grand Rapids. I went to see her for a day, too.

Edmonton

My sister, Heidi and her husband live in Edmonton. To tell you the truth, we didn't do all that much. A LOT of our time was spent watching the whole first season of Arrested Development. For those of you who have never seen it, you're missing out.

We went to West Edmonton Mall, to U of A hospital, and to Heidi's aqua fit classes (Amanda and I were pros). Brady's grade nine girls basketball team was in the finals so we went to two of his games which actually were some of the most nerve-wracking basketball games I've ever watched. We got totally into it. And also had fun with the pompoms.









Another highlight was when we made marshmallow treats -- marshmallows dipped in caramel and condensed milk then covered with rice krispies. Of course we ate tons of them while watching A.D. and then all felt sick.

Jasper National Park

For the first part of Spring Break, my friend Amanda and I drove to Edmonton. It's about a 12 hour drive from Abbotsford, and we get to drive through Jasper. We had amazing weather for the trip, so the view was gorgeous. Here are a bunch of pictures from the drive. (pardon me, I love mountains...I couldn't choose just a couple to post cause they're all so pretty).
