GF Getaway

We headed to Grand Forks for one night after being in Winkler for a little family getaway. We spent a night at the Lakeview Inn and Suites, which was nice because it was cheap (coupons here :-) and close to shopping. It was nice having the 2-room suite so Nath and I could watch a movie after the boys finally fell asleep. The boys had fun splashing in the pool, Emma was not thrilled about swimming but endured it one afternoon. We did a little shopping, I found everything I wanted on my list including the cutest little rashguard with swim shorts for Emma for $7! But the highlight was definitley finding the Sherlock Forest Playground. It was an incredible playground that the boys spent a couple of hours in, and we easily could have stayed longer. So many fun things for them to explore and it was just huge. It had a toddler area as well. We would highly recommend checking it out, it was a bit of a drive but it it's close to Cabela's if you're stopping there.



Luke- ready for the water!

There were these cool swings

Emma loved swinging and would giggle everytime she got close to me.


This is from the toddler area looking towards the front.

It was so windy it looks like they are actually on water.

A tire swing, you don't really see these on playgrounds anymore.
