Sorry this'll be short.
To sum up the last few days-
Thank you Grant and Myrna (Grandma and Grandpa) for your wonderful hospitality as we completed last minute things to do- like prepping the fresh veggies for the freezer,
playing with the kiddos,
and visiting while we waited for the dredge motor to be finished.
So glad we got to spend time with everyone! Thanks Susan, Randy, Ryliee, Hannah and Tessa for the great time and yummy dinner! It was so good to finally meet Sharon, Katie and Savannah. We hope the party went well. Shandy, Ron and Ryder- Baby Kurt LOVES the noisy police car. He kind of stole it from Phi. We were also lucky to spend some time with Dylan and Melissa. Thanks Dylan, for the concert (and for letting the baby get in on the fun!)
Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa! What a joy you are to us. Thank you for making us feel at home. We'll see you again on our return home.
We left super early this morning (Saturday) and drove through Banff and Jasper, BC. The drive was beautiful! It was like driving through a wildlife exhibit. We counted 10...yes 10! bears along side the road (and those were just the ones we could count as we wizzed on by).
We learned that big horned sheep like to eat asphalt (as seen out of my window barely 10 feet from my seat).
The scenery was beautiful and made the 7 hour drive fly by quickly.
So, here we are in Prince George, British Columbia catching some quick zzzzz's before getting up early to do it all over again.
I wish there was more to say, but alas the words won't come and the brainpower is gone.
We love you all and hope all is well.
Love, Burned Out in British Columbia
Oh, my what an adventure you're in for. Bears, Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I love it more with every single post! That last family picture is adorable! I love the dog in the cage in the boat!
ReplyDeleteJ'Me I am so glad to see your posting. We (Jeremy's family, Veva and I have been on the road for the past 2 and half days. In North Plat Nebraska, we were awaken in the night by sirens going off. I did'nt realize that it was the tornado warning siren. Jeremy tried to call the front desk but no one answered. Finally he went down to the lobby and found out many people were down there because it was a safer place to be. He woke Veva and I and we each grabbed a kid and went down to sit out the tornado.
ReplyDeleteWhen we got to Nebraska we found out the house was not very clean. Kari was ready to turn around and go back to Las Vegas. Veva and I promised to clean for her and she then kept on going forward. The house was an older house with many problems. We moved them in and cleaned. We then began to repair everything. A couple of nights ago Veva fell down 3 stairs and sprained her ankle. She has been working hard to keep the swelling down. Dispite her ankle we took her to the Zoo and Winter Quarters as well as to see the temple.
I was glad to get your up date since You haven't called. We have been wondering what was happening.
Love ya and thanks for the great pictures of the baby and you guys.

Love your post! You sound so far away! I wanted you to know that our boys graduated. I took lots of pictures. Jake got Student of the Year and he and Marcus got the President's Academic award. You would have cried - they are so grown up and tall - especially Ryan! I can email you pictures if you like!
