We went back to Saskatoon in August to celebrate the life of my wonderful
aunty Eileen. Here are some photos and videos from the trip.

Enroute to Saskatchewan, we decided to stop at Pioneer Acres, since that was on our plans anyway.
It's out in Irricana and is a museum of working old tractors and machines and the boys loved it. Here's
Walter on a golf cart 25 cent tour with Bill from Langdon showing us the highlights. We got to see
horses plowing the fields here.

Next stop was an antique tractor pull to see these machines working, which was cool.

The boys thought this belt-driven tool shop was fun with a single engine running a drill press,
a saw, and a grinder.

This might be the win of the trip - someone at Pioneer Acres took 6 hand pumps and attached them to
a container and filled it with water. These boys LOVED pumping water and seeing how they worked!

The boys liked this little fountain at the Pioneer Acres site.

Walking around the garages full of old tractors was a highlight, but it also meant I had to
be right on Walter as he'd constantly stick his head and hands into stuff he shouldn't.

After 8+ hours in the car, you'd like he'd be tired, but check out the spunk in this one as he
rides the hotel trolley.

Playing at the Children's Museum in Saskatoon. This is a sweet air-driven pipe game with poofs that
fly through the tubes like an old mail system.

Inside the giant rope climber you can barely see Henry and Walter in there.
