At the end of June we had a Hjelte family reunion at Speers, SK. We had a great time. We stayed in the Gold Eagle Lodge in North Battleford. They had a great pool there and a tasty continental breakfast. At the reunion we enjoyed the weiner dogs that were there. Tristan thought it would be neat to drive his truck down a gopher hole. Then he was shocked to find out that he might not be able to get it back. But thanks to his dad he was able get it and play with it again. Needless to say, he didn't do that again!! We went and saw the crooked trees. We had a great time visiting and getting to know family. It was unfortunate that a week later we were in Moose Jaw to attend Aunt Karen Hjelte's funeral. She passed away in her home on July 1st. I am so glad that we were able to have an enjoyable time with her at the reunion. (Karen is the lady on the left in the second row in the wheel chair).
