Grandma Klassen gave us a card that said, "The best things in life aren’t things." Some people might disagree, but our trip so far has reminded us that family and friends bring so much joy!
We left on Thursday morning and drove to Briercrest Saskatchewan where we enjoyed an awesome meal with Maria and Ike (our sister and brother) and our sweet nephew and nieces. Jacquie met us for dinner too and she enjoyed a meal that wasn’t spaghetti! We even ate it over candlelight (thanks for remembering our anniversary Maria).
Alliance University College is really high tech and modern! We visited Jenn and Emma and saw their super cute condo. Don’t worry about those girls, they are living it up. Fiore is an awesome italian restaurant on 17th Ave. in Calgary that my brother Kevin recommended. We met him, Jon, Mandy (our other brother and sister) and Denae (Mandy’s sister) for a fantastic meal on friday night and then stayed overnight at Jon and Mandy’s new condo. I haven’t laughed that much in a while!
We flew out to Vancouver the next morning and met Uncle Rick, Auntie Maureen and Grandma Klassen for lunch in the airport. We had about 5 hours to kill until our flight to Honolulu, and our wonderful family stayed all day with us (and I am sure paid a heafty parking bill). Starbucks with family never tasted so good!
And so we see the best things in life are friends, family…and food.
