A Big Day! Winnipeg, Manitoba

 Yesterday (Valentine's Day!) was a big day for us, we did quite a bit. In the morning we started to drive to Winnipeg, but we weren't even driving for a long time before we heard something that sounded like lightning and thunder! We realized it was the awning cover that fell off. Since the bus is so big, we couldn't turn around, so we kept driving till we found a spot that we could pull over and check it out. My dad and grandpa went out to check it out and said that the awning just unrolled from the wind and that they could try and fix it. Then a truck pulled up beside us and a man came out to help us fix it. His name was Joe and he was very nice and helpful. Once they got it all back together and tied so that it wouldn't unroll again we started driving. On the ride, my grandma was hungry, so my sister made her a sandwich, but the plate kept moving around so my sister took her gum out of her mouth, and stuck it to the bottom of the plate and then stuck the plate with the gum  on it to the table and it didn't move again. After we were driving for about five hours we were in Winnipeg, but somehow, we ended up right in the heart of the busy city because that is how "Waze" GPS took us.  I don't know how we made it around all those corners!  We parked at a Marriott hotel because my mom and dad were staying in for the night, and we slept in the bus again, It was all worth it though because there was a water park at the hotel. Pretty much right when we got to the hotel we went swimming till ten o'clock it was super fun because there was a slide that went super fast and a swirl pool, and then after we were done swimming we ate dinner at  about ten thirty, after dinner we went to bed.

  1. Well, i am glad it was only that and not the waterpump or another part!
    Very inventif of your sister to use gum under the plate. Gum is good for a lot of things beside chewing. Now I am going to look on instagram if there are any pics.
