From BC to Minnesota

Hopefully I can get this blog posted!!!! We have been having some technical difficulties.  Yes, we left on Friday and yes, late.  The first time we left it was 12:30 pm.  We got as far as Mt. Lehman and realized that we had forgotten the privacy cover for the front window of the RV, so back we went.  We left the second time at 2:30pm.  The Neufelds were gracious and waited supper for us.  We had such a wonderful visit with the Neufelds.  The teens entertained us with music - Ben played the fiddle, Matt played the guitar, Sarah played the piano and Zach played the accordian.  This was his first time playing an accordian and with a little practice, he caught on to it quite well.  The children swam in the rain, but didn't seem to mind.

On Sunday, we all (including the Neufelds) headed to historic O'Keefe Ranch near Vernon, BC.  That was so much fun and we didn't want to say good bye, but we parted ways around supper time.  We pulled into Osoyoos and had a lovely gourmet dinner of bbq'd hotdogs. :)

On Monday, we headed to Oroville and crossed the border into Washington.  We stopped at the Grand Coulee Dam and enjoyed the sights and some lunch.

We drove through Gracier National Park and stopped for some huckleberry pie and icecream in a little place called Hungry Horse, Montana.

Montana is a very windy place!  We camped in Cut Bank, Montana and the RV was rocking all night long!

Tonight we are in a KOA campground near Duluth, Minnesota.

I've discovered that it takes a long time for pics to upload on this blog, so most of our pics will be on facebook.

Well, gotta go the kids are back from the pool and I can't hear myself think anymore....my peace and quiet time is over....hopefully blog at you soon.
