WOW what a weekend. I went out snowmobiling on Saturday and glad I did because it may have been my last ride for the year. We put on 155 miles or about 248 km’s. We went to Rhein then up to Kamsack and over to Verigan and up almost to Norquay and then to Canora back through Good Spirit and back to Yorkton. It was beautiful. We made the trip in under 6 hours. We truly have some of the best trails around. Here are some Sledding pictures.
Hopefully you had a great weekend. Here is what happend at the box office this weekend.

The all-star cast also includes Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Crispin Glover; Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay. Capturing the wonder of Lewis Carroll’s beloved “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history.

Brooklyn’s Finest – Plot Summary: In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation in “Brooklyn’s Finest,” a searing new crime drama from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (”Training Day”).

Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan (Golden Globe®-winner Richard Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Oscar® nominee Ethan Hawke) has discovered there’s no line he won’t cross to provide a better life for his long-suffering wife and seven children. And Clarence “Tango” Butler (Oscar® nominee Don Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (Wesley Snipes), one of Brooklyn’s most infamous drug dealers. With personal and work pressures bearing down on them, each man faces daily tests of judgment and honor in one of the world’s most difficult jobs.

When NYPD’s Operation Clean Up targets the notoriously drug-ridden BK housing project, all three officers find themselves swept away by the violence and corruption of Brooklyn’s gritty 65th Precinct and its most treacherous criminals. During seven fateful days, Eddie, Sal and Tango find themselves hurtling inextricably toward the same fatal crime scene and a shattering collision with destiny.

The film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York’s most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them “Brooklyn’s Finest.”

This June 11th we will see a new Karate Kid hit theaters near you. Actually the new one looks not to bad. You can check out the trailer for the new one as well as the original at the bottom of this post.

The Karate Kid – Plot Summary: In Columbia Pictures’ “The Karate Kid,” 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying—and the feeling is mutual—but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Well it’s good to be back and at it after our vacation. We had a wonderful time on a western caribbean cruise. The ship was amazing and our stops were hot. We made stops at Labadee Haiti, Ocho Rios Jamaica, Georgetown Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel Mexico. The cruise left from Miami. Every day was in the 30’s plus humidity. The only problem we had all trip was the mediocre service we recieved fro Delta Airlines who joined Northwest last week enough said. They smashed our luggage and won’t fix or replace it because we can still use it they say. My question is if I cut their seats and dented the plane would I be excused because they can still technically fly it? I doubt it. The other thing was on the flight home we had a transfer in Atlanta and they had mechanical problems so we were delayed and they just gave us the run around updating every half an hour that we would be held up longer thus making us miss our connection in Minneapolis. They offered us a hotel room and $14 dollars each for meals but wouldn’t guarantee us flights out the next day. It wouldn’t have been so bad but we were travelling with our 17 month old son which was a saint through all of the waiting. All I have to say is that it will be a long time before I give Delta Airlines another chance. They don’t care about anyone, another reason I love West Jet even more. In closing the trip was amazing and I would definetaly suggest Royal Caribbean Libert of the seas any day. The crew was terrific. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
This picture was taken in Labadee Haiti with my son Dylan

And this last picture was taken the last night on our cruise getting ready for bed.

This will be my last post til February 9th when I get back from holiday’s. I thought I would include the movie releases for next friday. I hope you enjoy the next week it looks like nicer weather is on the way. Talk to you when I get back.
Dear John – Plot Summary: Directed by Lasse Halstrom and based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, “Dear John” tells story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation. Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by John’s increasingly dangerous deployments. While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas–correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences.

From Paris With Love – Plot Summary: A personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he’s offered his first senior-level assignment, he can’t believe his good luck – until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta).

A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white-knuckle shooting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he’s a target of the same crime ring they’re trying to bust, he realizes there’s no turning back…and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive.
