On July 2nd, I packed up the van and headed up to Smithers for a little holiday. Kevin had the opportunity to go to Greece for a University Instructors convention and I gave him my blessing to do so. Yes, I would have loved to have gone along, but the university would only cover his expenses not mine, so my next holiday option was Smithers!
Our first stop along the journey was in Fraser Lake to see the VanWerkhovens. The kids were very excited to see their cousins and their new place. They had great fun exploring where they lived, gonig on a messy hike, feeding turkeys and just hangin' out together! Wish we lived closer so they could play with their cousins a little more!

Then the next stop was in Smithers at Grandma's house. We spent just over a week there enjoying the beautiful sunshine (which we hadn't seen much of this summer yet!), playing in lakes, playing at parks, visiting friends, going to "Grandma's Store", a day at the farm, hiking, visiting aunts and uncles, waterslides and pools at Esther's Inn . . . It was a great week there!
Here are a few highlights!

| Going for a hike up Malkow Lookout. |

| Kendra and Owen enjoying a view one way from the top. |
 |
| The view the other way. Mountains don't get much better than that! |
 |
| Playing in Grandma's pool. Not quite the same as Auntie Esther's but with a sprinkler beside it, it was still fun! |
 |
| Jocelyn tried the whole day at the farm for the cows to come eat her handful of hay. |
 |
| Watching the last bale of hay go up the elevator into the barn. |
 |
| Going for a ride on the quad with Uncle Al . . . |
 |
| going for a walk with mommy. . . |
 |
| going for a ride on the dog! |
 |
| Playing at the beach at Tyee Lake |
 |
| Stopping for lunch at a rest stop on the way home. |
 |
| Me and my crew! |

| Jocelyn, the little fashionista, reading some books while waiting for her breakfast. |
However, no matter where you go, it sure feels good to be home again. That is a good thing.
