July 26 – We Survived!

Our night in the Tipi was quite comfortable.  Tanya’s boys believe there was some sort of animal, perhaps a badger or porcupine, which rambled near our tent in the night, but it is unconfirmed.  The kids slept well and had to be woken up at 8am to complete the rest of our adventure at Wanuskewin.
After a hardy breakfast of pancakes and sausages, our guide told everyone a story about dream catchers and taught them how to make them.  It was a fun ending to our visit in this other time and culture.

We stopped off at Paul’s sister’s home for lunch.  Afterwards we went to Cranberry Flats, where, although there were no cranberries in sight, the kids had a great time catching many frogs, a toad, snake and a fish.

Back at Tanya’s home, we had a delicious dinner, a quiet evening, and a return to modern sleeping arrangements.
