Last weekend Tay, Russ, Shayleigh and I drove out to Churn Creek on the Fraser River. Ed is still crazy busy with his work so he wanted to keep working on his contracts.
I was very nervous about going out to Churn Creek alone because it is 82 kms out a dirt road and I had never been there before so I was worried about getting lost.
Dylan was out there camping with his best friend Mike and his family and grandparents. On Friday I had pretty much convinced myself I wasn't going, when Marianne (Mikes Grandma) dropped by my work with a very detailed map on how to get out there. So after much thinking I decided to go so we packed up saturday morning went to work and after work headed out, well am I ever glad I did - it was the most beautiful drive.
We had a get time!

| Store and post office on the Ranch - so cool - it wasn't open when we were there, but Dylan went back the next day and said it was really neat and was befriended by a 3 yr old cowboy with a huge cowboy hat, boots that were too big and a Lightning McQueen shirt - so cute! |
