Crossfield and beyond!

After a lovely sleep and a delicious breakfast of homemade bread toasted with homemade jam, we headed into Airdrie to hit a few thrift, collectible and antique stores. 

Our first stop was at the Store Upstairs. The kids have always enjoyed going into this store that has a lot of neat items and toys. They have many different games you can't find anywhere - like Star Trek Scrabble- and other specialty toys. From there we walked to Brian's Card Shop, then to Drizzles candy store, the Salvation Army Thrift Shop and the Community Thrift shop. We found a few "treasures" and then headed to an Antique Mall called "Where did you find this?" It was here we bumped into Paul's parents as we wandered in. This antique shop is huge! It had so much that we never got a chance to look at it all. Cassel found a sword he bought. Hannah found an entire area of cowboy "stuff" that she wished we could take home.  Lastly we went to the Treasure Cove before we headed back for tea.

On our drive back, we were worried that the big trucks that were transporting these huge tanks would still be on the road. Normally, it doesn't matter about what is on the road, but these trucks were holding up traffic. These trucks were so large, that the power lines were needing to be removed to get past. This slowed traffic down. We were happy to see they had finished and were no longer on the road to Crossfield. 




Paul was really excited that we were able to find the giant robot tonight and we were able to take a picture. 



Tonight ended with a delightful dinner of lasagna and Paul taking the kids to Airdrie to swim and me relaxing with Mary and Gerd.
