We had a relaxed Saturday morning getting up a little later that usual and having a few coffees while doing a little reading before being picked up by our good friends, Chris & Elaine. We headed over to Cora’s<\/a> at 340 Provencher Blvd. Great restaurant and great food. We all sampled something a little different and were impressed by the quility, decore and lots of fresh fruit. OK guys, there were a few things on the menu with lots of meat, fried potatoes and alike, but generally a little more healthy that your average Perkins mega-meal.<\/p>\n

After brunch we headed over to the Fort Whyte<\/a> nature center for some outdoor activities. Shaun, our financial advisory over at Assante<\/a> invited us out to a customer event and we had a great time in spite of the cold temperatures and a wind chill of about -30C. I went down the Richardson rrrrun<\/a> toboggan slide, where “screaming is compulsory!”. Then we all went on the sleigh ride (my photos)<\/a> which was pulled by a beautiful pair of Clydesdale horses<\/a>. On the sleigh ride the kids had a great time jumping on and off the sleigh, and we saw quite a few deer along the route. Afterwards we explored the sod house<\/a>, and then headed over to one of the main buildings for some hot chocolate and cookies. It was a great afternoon, thanks to Shaun and his assistants.<\/p>\n

Since we were out and about the ladies wanted to explore some shops at one of the big box complexes. Chris and I explored another kind of shopping over at the auto mall, checking out the latest Acura, Honda & Toyotas. That new Ridgeline<\/a> is looking good, but then so is the Pilot<\/a>. Chris was really checking out the Rav4 <\/a>quite closely. Well window shopping is still free, thank goodness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
