2012 Trip to Laughlin

So as you can see there are lots of burros and fun in Oatman, there is also a saloon the Oatman saloon where there are tons of money hanging on the walls, it has grown over the years. We found out back in the early days that if a minner or person had money they would sign the dollar bill and give it to the saloon owner and the next time the person came in and might not have money he could still buy a drink with the money left from the dollar bill. Interesting.

2012 Trip to Laughlin

Each year Carol and I do a couple day trip this year we went to Laughlin, on our way we stopped at Oatman Arizona, in this town you can see gun fights and shops,, restraunts, and each day you will see wild burros come to town for their daily pets, and food of carrots, we found a couple baby burros this time and on their forheads was a little note saying (please do not feed me anything) as they did not have all their teeth and were still nursing. It is a must to see when in Arizona.

Hot August Nights 2011

Granny Annie's (Diane's Mom) visiting from Fort Nelson June20-July 31st 2011

These are some of the things I did with my Mom when she stayed was us for about 6 weeks in the summer of 2011, I taught her to paint on a miniture saw.

I took her to a town called Eastend in Saskatchewan where you can see a lot of replica's and on going history of T Rex a dinasoaur that roamed this area. It is very interesting to see. We also went to a little museum in this town and I could see it brought back memories to my Mom when she was growing up.

We also took her to the Minninete Village in Swift Current where every summer they have an old tractor/car show, it is really interesting, also have a dog show and there is a very small village you can go into the houses and see how it was long ago. Once you see all of that you can go and get a nice cool sunday to eat so delicious. And if that is not all you can also go and buy some watermelon and a type of German Fry bread, very very tasty as you listen to old time music. A very enjoyable afternoon for sure.

As you enter our town of Ponteix you will see this dinasoar now it was found in our area and its name it MO it is a type of sea serpant and there is little about it known but the museum in Ponteix does have a bit on Mo.

Mom even experienced our local hair dresser an awesome lady who is my best friend's sister. So you can see we had a good time and seen lots of things in Saskatchewan. Thanks for visiting Mom sure loved having you with us.
