Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Last night we stayed in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. We were actually planning on staying in Regina but all of the campsites were full so we decided to go ahead to Moose Jaw. It was a long long haul but worth it since it just brings us that much closer.

We stayed at the Prairie Oasis RV Resort and Campground just off Highway 1. It was definitely the kind of place you wouldn’t stay for weeks on end. It was mostly designed as a stop over site. They are beside a big water slide and pool with a sauna etc… it was a pretty cool place. Mike B was the only one to take advantage of the pool mainly because by the time we arrived there it was 6 pm and since we’ve already lost two hours due to Provincial time changes the kids were starved and ready for bed. By the time dinner was finished Lorne fell asleep in my moms arms and was out for the night.

Driving through Manitoba and Saskatchewan you see a lot of bright yellow fields which we've discovered are crops for making canola oil. There are also purple fields we are told are crops of flax.


It was really hot in Moose Jaw but we’re told it was the nicest day of the summer so far. We are literally following the good weather out West.


I’m sure many of you have heard about the fires in Kelowna and are wondering if we’re still going that far. My brother and Tara live in West Bank so they haven’t been affected. We were thinking we might have to leave our trailer for them to stay in once we got there. Tara said that wouldn’t be necessary but that when she arrived at work one day she found her boss in the parking lot sitting outside his trailer with his family sipping coffee in their pajamas! It’s obviously a reality for some people there but as luck would have it my brother and his family have been spared.
