We were in Spiritwood for 2 days. We stayed at Claire and Lydia's house, Claire is Grandpa Turgeon's first cousin. First day we went to the "Crooked Bush"; a natural phenomenon that  scientists can't explain. The Crooked Bush is a small patch of aspen trees that grow very crooked, while nearby the trees grow arrow straight. The next day we went for a wagon ride, Aunty Bea (Grandpa Turgeon's aunt) came along. The horses names were Peanut and Brittle; as in peanut brittle. They are owned and trained by Matt Gagne (Grandpa Turgeons first cousin as well) It was a very nice day, we  saw a wild rabbit who appeared to be quite tame. On the ride we went through fields (it was kinda windy there) and along the road the traffic was a total of two cars.  After the wagon ride, Aunty Bea gave  us a tour of Leoville and Laventure small hamlets near Spiritwood. Grandpa Turgeon was raised in Leoville. I went to take pictures of the two cats, Oliver and Venus. We went looking for gophers in a field across the road from Claire and Lydia's place, i managed to get one shot, but it was so cold and windy that they didn't want to come out of their holes.
