Last Weekend we went to visit Dad at Fletcher Lake in the Chilcotin. He was up hunting with friends, so I took the kids up for a few days. They had a great time!

We had a huge dinner with Tayler and Maurrens Grouse Fricassee and green salad, seafood pasta from the neighbour up the campsite, steak from us, Corn on the cob and coleslaw from Doug and Marg, it was sooooo yummy and we were able to have dinner outside JUST before the rain started.
