CANADA
So after Kamloops we headed to Calgery, we stopped off at Lake Louise and had our 1st night in the van. Its actually not bad at all, we woke up to snow on the ground and we weren't cold so thats a good sign I guess. We stayed with Royal and Ellen a couple of nights and it was so good to see them! We then went down to Pincher Creek and stayed with Deanna and her companion at one of friends house, Gary and Barb Lewis. It was SO good to see her!! We then spent our last weekend in Vancouver with Merle, Jess, Wayne, Roxy and Kingston which was lots of fun!
We crossed over the border with no troubles at all and we have now started our American Adventure!
Until next time! xo


Instead of uploading photos onto the blog I have created a picasa account. Its so much easier uploading a large amount of photos to it rather then on here. The link for the album is below and then you just click on the Last Days in Canada album...

KAMLOOPS ONE LAST TIME!
We had an awesome time in Kamloops as per usual, we are so going to miss visiting Kent and Lyndel!! It was Chets 4th birthday party on the Saturday so we got to join in on that which was fun.
Thanks so much Lyndel for everything!!

OUR NEXT ADVENTURE...
So we are currently in Kamloops saying goodbye to Kent and Lyndel and we are doing a quick trip up to Calgery and then back to Vancouver for a weekend with Merle, Jess, Wayne, Roxy and little Kingston which I can't wait for!!! AND then our next adventure begins - we are tripping around America for 3 months. We're traveling down the West Coast across through Texa's to see the relatives which we are looking forward to and then down to Florida and up the east coast finishing in New York City!! Really looking forward to it and can't wait for some sun shine and warm weather, its going to be great!

GOODBYE APEX!!
So we packed up and left our little cabin in the wood up at Apex last Monday. The ski resort closed for the season on April 3rd so we spent a couple of days with Wayne and Roxy before leaving. It was SO sad saying goodbye to everyone and not knowing when or if we will see them again but I guess that is all part of traveling. Here are a few pics...


The truck is all packed and feeling kind of sad...

but at the same time excited for the next adventure!!

We went out for dinner with Wayne and Roxy and this was a pic I took of Kingston in the car, as soon as I pulled out my camera he gave me this grin!

Wayne, Roxy and Kingston! We are going to miss you guys so much!!!

BACK COUNTRY
Jaxon took us for a bit of a hike out back country which was cool. We got the most amazing snow so the hike was worth it in the end...we didn't need snow shoes for this one.
Here are some pics. xo

We stopped for Reon to do a tree jump

Nearly there...

Strapping in...


CAMPER
We finally got the camper dug out. Jaxon and Denali (his dog) came and helped us out one afternoon.


He's such a beautiful dog!!

SNOW SHOEING!!
Re and I took a hike across from Apex mountina, we borrowed some snowshoes from Ed which was a fun experience. Reon thought it was real fun when we get 3/4 of the way up and he was carrying all of the gear! Once we got to the top we snowboarded fresh powder to the bottom!

PHOTO SHOOT
I went out and took some photos of Re and one of the guys in the office a couple of weeks ago.
Here are a few of the pics...
