Then the sun began to rain...

here are some memories from our Manning camping trip. we did a hike that was all nice and downhill and then on the way back not so nice. it was uphill and i bet u can imagine my surprise when i see rebecca prins and andrew martin coming from the other direction. i had to do a double take b/c of all the places to see people from school i saw them in Manning. anyways there are lots of pictures w/ baby Chloe but she is just so darn cute i can't help it! the ground squirrels were very friendly and one was pretty close to climbing all the way into my hand. the ground squirrel in the picture we named Morris. there was also Fiona and Larry. Larry had a bald patch on his head and Morris was fat and Fiona was just skinny so thats how we told them apart. i'll tell u one thing tho that Chloe the baby has the same smile as her Auntie Chelsea in the picture! thats about it for now... we'll see if i decide to post more later. Adios amigos!

Gone in the morning...

its been a while... i know i say that a lot. its nice to know that i always have this outlet when i need it. i hope all ur summers r going great. i had the day off today and it was great just to relax. yes i did a few dishes and thats about it but i really enjoy just doing nothing from time to time. it seem like every day off i have something planned and when i finally get a day off w/ no plans its just nice and relaxing. i would've done something more productive today but i really didn't feel all too productive. now i'm listening to music and downloading pics onto the computer. life is great. i hope things continue the way they r going. there are some things i'm concerned about but it feels like i don't really need to be worried... its not my life so i should stay out of it right? anywho its been an awesome day and i need to go to bed soon! toodles!

Road trip anyone??

well lets just say we didn't end up going camping this long weekend. i'm not going to get into any more detail than that. still we had to go all the way 45 minutes past merrit to get our trailer b/c we're going to manning to camp. so my dad and i went all the way there... spent about 10 minutes enjoying the perfect weather and hooking up the trailer. then we left w/ heavy sighs ecetera. so that 7 or 8 hour day was some good father/daughter bonding time... we talked a lot which we don't always get to do b/c we're always both so tired after a hard day at work. then on sunday my dad and i decided to go on another road trip on the motor bike. we went to Hell's Gate which is about 45 minutes from Spences Bridge if u know where that is or it is 1 and 1/2 hours away from merrit. Hell's Gate was pretty sweet and i took too many pictures b/c i just love my camera soo soo soo much! anywho then we went to Spences Bridge and saw people rafting w/ kumsheen and i so wished i was in one of those rafts w/ them. we waved and they waved back joyfully. then just past spences bridge we stopped for lunch at a little roadside diner (the kind u generally only see in movies) called Rumors. i thought it was a little ironic since i've read a book called rumors but life is generally full of ironies. the only thing about riding on the motorbike is that no matter what i can't hear the music. only when we slow down a bit can i hear and bit of a song and determine which song it is and sing along as i know the words... sometimes i think i got the wrong song but i don't think my dad noticed as when ur going 110 km/hr the wind muffles every bit of noise. we also saw a helicopter w/ a thing of water which we assumed was for a forest fire. we did see smoke but for all we knew it was from somewhere else which we did not know about. when we got home we found out the fire was in Lilloet so that explained it. overall the weekend was good bonding even tho there was not much talking on the bike. i think i can safely say i got a lot of time to think about things even tho there was someone w/ me. i thought about many happy things including my happy dream i had the night b/4. essentially i think we were on the road for another 7 hours. anywho monday was a lazy day... i slept in and we had a bacon, eggs and hashbrown breakfast and it was awesome!! i loved every bit of it. so thats my weekend in a nutshell. today at work was great... time went by quickly and one of my fav people was back so we got to joke around and have dance parties in the kitchen. it was great! thats about it i think and i'm pretty sure this is the longest ramble i have done on my blog ever so this is an important blog. here are some pics!!

we went through a billion tunnels and i held my breath through all of them... it was awesome!! the big chair at the bottom of hell's gate was huge... or ma/b we just shrunk but it is very rare to find a single person seat that fits both my dad and i. until next time! au revoir!
