Up early - boys to "school" - mom teaching, dad busy doing the driving. We drove as far as Moose Jaw, before taking a break.
Went on a Tour of the Tunnels in Moose Jaw -- took both tours -- one on the plight of the Chinese immigrants in Canada. The second tour had to do with the tunnels being used during prohibition - for rum running - and supposedly Al Capone's visit to the area (because it was at the end of the SOO line out of Chicago. The tunnels were originally made by the steam engineer's to connect the boiler systems between buildings - and then used by others. The presentations were interesting - but still not convinced as to how accurate the portrayal was.
Travelled on to Regina to spend a couple of days with Pat's aunt and uncle. Tara, Paul and Sam came over for supper with us. Sam has really grown since the last time we saw him and was quite taken with Mickey and Keelan. Played Canasta tonight night and the boys beat the girls.
