After pulling out of Aunt Donna's driveway we headed north to Quebec. Denis found a nice, quiet Walmart in Drummondville for one night. In the old days, we made the trip from Massachusetts to Quebec in 5 hours, but that was in a car and we were always in a hurry. Now we make the drive in two days, relaxed and enjoying the journey. I like it better that way.
We are officially moving from Alberta to Quebec and spent most of Friday in government buildings changing over our driver's license and health insurance cards. We also noticed that it was close to time to renew our passports so we did that too. The change over went unexpectedly smooth and we were in our son's driveway by late afternoon.
Friday night, daughter Christi and Phil, arrived to spent a couple of nights visiting. They were surprised to find us awake at 10:30 pm when they arrived. I guess we're not as old as they think we are.
Saturday morning we met with son Daniel, his wife Karen and her mom, Michele, with granddaughter Kiev at Aquarium du Quebec. The beautiful park is home to more than 10,000 animals representing more than 300 species so it was a full day. Everyone's favorite was the polar bear exhibit. Watching the younger bear diving underwater was amazing.
That night they had a birthday party with their friends with babies of their own. The big surprise for Kiev was a trampoline, she loves to jump and it was the perfect gift for her.
Sunday morning after attending mass at the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre we all went out for breakfast. The last time son, daughter and family were together was in November for Thanksgiving so it was extra special all getting together again.
