A lot of this post may bore many of you. But I wanted to post this for our memories, and so those who lived here can see the photos. Michael did most of his growing up in Vermilion, Alberta(2 hours east of Edmonton). He moved there in grade 4 and his family moved down to Lethbridge when he was 26. For the past 6 years I have heard many memories and stories that took place in this town and always wished I could go, but since no family lived there anymore, we really didn't have a reason to go. This weekend we were up visiting friends and family in Edmonton, and we were planning to head home Sunday afternoon, and while in church Michael brought up the idea of taking a trip to Vermilion-one last time. This trip would add an extra 3 hours onto our already 5 hours back home, but since he is off work right now, we decided to just go ahead and make the trip! It was awesome to finally know what Vermilion is like. Michael really enjoyed being able to drive around and take some photos.
Here we are halfway in Vegreville, seeing the worlds largest Pysanka!
