Compressing a few events

 It seems that I REALLY had a lot of catching up to do so I will compress a few events into one post. You're welcome!!

LABOUR DAY CAMPING TRIP: This is a pretty regular camping outing for us. We can't stress enough how much we enjoy being with the kids.







Holden Josh, Kathy, Jasper, August

Ceasar's all around. 
Of course, August has a alcohol free version.

Overnight visitors in Eurii for movies

Pancake session. 
Soon August will do them all by himself!

Three generations



Goodbye Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park
Until next year!

KOOTENAY TRIP: Sept-Time to head to the Kootenay's to visit with Rudy.

Cruising through the car show

Always time for snacks

Looking down at the Kokanee spawning salmon.




You know these people


A poor old Vanagon abandoned in the weeds.
We wondered what adventures it had and what brought it to this place. 

 
Picking up Rudy after school






We love to spend time with Rudy. Since we live 8+ hours away we really miss him alot so it's always hard to leave and head for home. 

The drive along the Crowsnest Hwy 3 is a beautiful drive. Stopped at one of our favourite fruit stands, Parsons Fruits in Cawston BC on the way home. There are so many stands along this stretch of Hwy 3 and they are all nice but we always stop here because Doug used to work with a lady, Joan, who worked at Parsons as a teenager so somehow we feel this strange allegence to it.

Very interesting how the apple (and other) fruit trees are grown now.
Straight up. No more big branches reaching out...













Passing through the Manning Park area.
Trees are just beginning to turn.

 

Back to this crazy group of dudes...




Really getting into fall now. I do love the colours, leaves on the ground, etc. Not sure that I will like the rain that will follow. 

There you have it. Another catch-up in the books. Just one more camping trip left for the year and that is our 8th annual Thanksgiving camp. We really look forward to this one.

Peace out friends!

Thought for the Day: Gratitude helps us to see what is there instead of what isn't.
