"Did Edwina go on 'oliday?" ~Chicken Run

No, Edwina didn't go on holiday but Kurtis and Esther did :) We left early Monday morning after chores and got home about 8.30 Wednesday night. Our goal was Winchester, which is about 4 hours east of here, extremely close to Ottawa, Canada's capital city. On the way there we visited an older couple we know in Russell, a tiny little place which always seems to scare the pants off our GPS--last time we were there she temporarily passed out and could only talk in shrieks and moans. This time she did a little better. We reached Winchester at about 4p.m. and stayed for two nights with a lovely family who used to rent the house on the other farm here. They have a 12-year-old son. Had a great time hanging out with them and going laser tagging in Ottawa! The building there has a few levels so it's a lot trickier than most places. Unfortunately we were lumped in with around 25 children having a birthday party and they have a horrible habit of standing in front of you giggling and waiting for your vest to light up so they can shoot you and then stand there giggling again until next time. Kurtis' usual method is to grab their gun, point it in their face and say 'GO AWAY!!!' It usually works but instead by the second game we decided the 5 of us would team up. After that the kiddies didn't stand a chance :) We just picked a corner on the 2nd level and staked claim. The people on the first floor had no idea where the lasers were coming from :D
The cows are pretty happy to have us back again and we've been frantically cleaning the barn and the cows today in preparation for the university tour we have coming through on Saturday.
I like an 'oliday :)
