Manitoba - Sask - Alberta - to BC!

Since our last post we have driven from Oak Lake, Manitoba through Regina, Moose Jaw (where we had to stop and see the 10 metre high moose - see pic) and to Swift Current, where we spent the night. The following morning we drove to Didsbury, Alberta to see our friends the Pearsons. We had a lovely visit and the children had great fun running and playing and of course, playing Wii. Thank you Pearsons for your hospitality, it was very nice to see you all again.

We left the Pearson's today and are currently in a Revelstoke campground. It is the same campground we started our trip with, so it is fitting that we end our trip here. We were going to make one more stop, but unfortunately, we have to be getting back home. (Sorry we will miss you, The Other James Gang - for now anyway) We will be getting home around 7 or 8 tomorrow night. I think everyone is looking forward to it. We all need a vacation from our vacation!

The pics below: Nate with his suckie taped to his forehead. Why you might ask....well the children got tired of him losing it and them trying to find it, so they solved the problem. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite get it in his mouth. Oh well, nice try. The next pic is of the big moose in Moose Jaw, SK and then the children standing in a wheat field, showing off the beautiful landscape of SK. Next is David and I, Tammy and Sean Coyle and Laurie and Damien Pearson at the Pearsons the first night we got there and then all the Pearson and James children on the front steps and finally, the Pearson children waving good bye to us today. Oh, I forgot Nathan watching trains in Field, BC today on our way to Revelstoke. He loves trains during the day, but not at night! He will cry when he hears the horn blow at night...every time, several times a night!!!!!

I think I will write a final post when we get home, so for now I will sign off and see all our BC friends and family very soon. For those outside of BC, we really enjoyed seeing you all again. Thank you all for your hospitality and we hope to see you again soon.
