Another Griswald Adventure

Well on Friday we were all ready to go for a final quading/camping trip for the summer down to Abraham. I took Annika into the doctor on the Thursday to get her cough checked out and it turned out she had a bronchial infection, so she was prescribed some antibiotics for that thank goodness. After a lot of thinking we decided to go on this final trip. So Friday morning I took the girls to my mom's while I went to do some last minute shopping. That afternoon was a mad rush to get everything packed and ready to go. Wendy, (Darren's sister) her husband Dave and their two girls met here that night so we could travel together.
We shoved off at 7:00 pm all pumped up and excited to get to our destination, we had Bob Marley's Three Little Birds playing, and I wished I had a drink with me. Well 45 minutes into the trip our truck broke down just west of Breton. Turns out the lift pump is shot. We ended up stalling in front of a farmer's house so he and his son ended up hanging out with us while we figured out what the heck to do. Darren got a hold of Shayne and Erin (friends of ours) and they said they would come and tow our holiday trailer for us. So the truck got towed into the farmer's yard and we waited for Shayne and Erin to come while we had a drink. What else do you do in a situation like that? May as well drink! I sure needed one! We were there a total of 2 hours and the girls were starting to get teary eyed and scared. I didn't blame them. By this time it was getting late and dark out.
So Shayne and Erin arrive yay!! Our knights in shining armor!! They hooked onto our trailer and we then decided to just pull the trailer to the cabin for the weekend. We thought we may as well just go there and try to enjoy the weekend. When we got there that night Uncle Allan was there to greet us. He wasn't planning to come there that night but I got a hold of him on the phone while we were on the side of the road to ask him if the cabin was open. It wasn't and we didn't have a key. So he went to the cabin to get everything unlocked so we could plug into power. What a super guy!
So it ended up just Wendy and her family, us, and uncle Allan at the cabin all weekend. It was actually a very nice weekend! The weather was a little chilly but not bad at all. Courtney (Wendy and Dave's daughter) and Darren caught a jackfish each so we had a fish fry, yummo! We played a whole lot of Sticks which was fun. I tried not to worry about the truck (which Dorin was able to haul back to our house with Darren on Saturday morning). Another knight in shining armor! Man we owe a lot of people after this weekend! I am so thankful for all the awesome friends and family we have.
Now after the weekend is done with we have to face the music and get the truck fixed. It might be on warranty so here's hoping!! And I think I am done traveling for a while after that catastrophe. : ) Chow for now!
