The long weekend
Rach and I went up to Waskesiu for the weekend. We stopped in Prince Albert on the way up to watch The Da Vinci Code which is a lot better than the reviews say it is. Critics review on Rotten Tomatoes is 22% and the users review percentage is 73%. That’s quite a big discrepancy. If you liked the book then you will probably like the movie. If you haven’t read the book you will probably like the movie. We weren’t too pleased with the PA theater this time, someone slashed the bottom of the screen a bunch, there were a bunch of kids like 10 years old at the movie who were running up and down the stairs and giggling all through the move (we ended up moving to a different spot in the theater since they were so annoying), and then at the climax of the movie some 16 year old girls have their cell phone ring which caused them to giggle worse then the little kids. Rach was almost as mad as me about the whole thing, this just brings me one step closer to not having to go to the theater ever again.
Saturday and Sunday we were up at Waskesiu but the weather was pretty horrible so we just sat around the cabin most of the time. We went for a short hike on the Waskesiu River, I finally finished State of Fear, finished Book 2 of The Chronicles of Narnia and started on Book 3. Sometimes I like really short books so I don’t lose interest in them.
Monday we finally got some awesome weather (30′C) and stopped in at Warren‘s cabin at Emma Lake on the way home. We went for a pretty short bike ride, played a boardgame called Citadels and then headed home after that. Why is it that on a long weekend you always get the best weather on the last day?
