Day 352 - Grad dress success!!

Day 352 was a lucky day! Up early as we had fertilizer delivered at 7:30 am and being spread by 8:30am. Sheldon stayed home till then to get organized penning horses in small pen for the process.

Shaina took the blankets of the horses from the night before riding lessons. Sheldon pitched some hay for horses - retrieving to the right with quad and little trailer

 Kate T arrived at 8:15 and we loaded up and made the great dress trip to USA at 8:30 am

 Sheldon took these shots

 I guess he wanted to document the field

We arrived in Lethbridge just after 10 for a appointment at the bridal store there. we were warned the owner was intense but that hardly described her :-). We managed to get out of there by about 11:30 empty handed and convinced she was indeed a loony lady.

After a quick stop at a mobile Tims for my tea and lunch for all we got gas and headed for the border arriving just around 1:30. The not so friendly "guard" allowed us in and off we raced at 75 MPH to Conrad. At 2 pm we arrived. This is where Kaylin got her dress!

 this store rocks! here is a preview of some of the 500 plus dresses she has

 

  this was so cute but remove the flower however worried what it would leave

 magpie Shaina loves jewels

 so pretty color and style

 and this store was only one where she found 7 she could not pick between so again we went thru them

 so cute!

but eventually one was chosen! we left the store 1 1/2 hours later with dress in hand!! WAHOO thanks you Jesus!! We then headed to Great falls to shop and stay the night but were done in about 2 hours so we filled with gas, tried to find liquor store but gave up and jetted back to border. We stopped at a country restaurant for supper arriving at the border by 10 pm. The kind border guard allowed us across no duty or taxes so we were thrilled!! Successful dress shopping day. For Britt we are just heading to The N Thing right away, no messing around with all the other stores here in AB.

Shaina drove from the border while Kate watched movies and we all listened. A quick stop in Lethbridge at Tims and to Strathmore we headed arriving at just after 12:30 pm. 950 kms and just over 16 hours and we have a pretty grad dress!

here she is at 1 am trying it on! So the theme indicates Britt may choose purple too :-)
