Our Family Holidays- July 28th to August 5th

We have been gearing up for our family holidays this year. After a tent trailer problems (we retired her) and picking up a newer & bigger trailer for our family we were finally off.

It was slow driving to Prince George. It took us 5 hours to get from Calgary to Jasper only to find out that the highway from Jasper to PG was closed due to a horrific accident that ended with 3 people in a family being killed. There was nothing we could do but find a campground to stay in for the night and continue on to PG in the morning. Kurt & I have been together for about 6 years and this was the first time we ever camped without friends or family with us and it was really nice.

The next day we headed for PG. We arrived at about noon at Kurt's parents house, got some groceries and headed out to go camping with his parents, the Bedas & the Blazinas (both of which are our friends from Calgary) We camped for three nights before heading back into PG for a few more nights.

We had a birthday party for Kylie with some of Kurts family one night, went swimming and Kurt and I were even able to slip away (thanks to his parents) for a movie one night.

We had a great visit with his family and friends.

Tuesday morning we packed up and headed for home. It took us about 10.5 hours to get back home which the kids slept only about 45 minutes of. It was a long drive home but I was so happy to finally be there! Eight nights away from my bed was a long time! It was a great holiday but its always nice to come home after (except for the unpacking part!!)
