We are now in Regina, using the free wifi at McDonalds.  We were delayed leaving Saskatoon by a day due to tornado warnings and very high winds across the province.  A tree broke in half in our friend's back yard and there were some interesting clouds during the storm.  After the storm was over the next day, we drove to Moose Jaw where we stayed with my second cousin and learned more about the history of the Hilton family, both early days on the prairies and back in England in the 1800s - that is my Dad's family. The sun came out and we enjoyed a tour of Moose Jaw's highlights with my cousins and their granddaughters (6 and 9 - lovely girls).   We visited a burrowing owl centre before leaving Moose Jaw this morning - those little owls are just tooooo cute!

Today we drove to Regina, via Rouleau. Those of you who watch Corner Gas may recognize the name as the town where the series is filmed.  It is one of Shon's favourite shows and it was neat to see the buildings as they are in the tv series --  photo in different post due to technical difficulties (-:
