Getting Excited

We have 4 days left before we are on our way to

British Columbia Canada.

Where I will see my children and grandchildren!

My Family!

This picture was taken  5 years ago (I have newer ones but they're stuck in my old computer!) The fellow in back with the beard is my Mr Fixit and the lady holding the little girl is my daughter in law.

Since this picture was taken we have two new grandchildren who we haven't seen yet. They were adopted over a year ago.

I'm so excited.

It's been two years since I've seen them all!

These are pictures of the area where my oldest and youngest sons live and my grandkids. This is Echo Lake and is on the side of a mountain just a few miles from town. It is a very beautiful area but they do get 40-60 feet of snowfall per winter.

It's a ski area.

My youngest granddaughter at the time with my oldest daughter before she had a little one of her own.

We'll be doing lots of sight seeing and visiting old places we used to go when the kids were little and taking logging roads up mountains. I'm hoping the huckleberries are still producing further up the mountains. Mr Fixit is a Kansas boy and has never had a huckleberry.

I'm looking forward to seeing clean clear water again

Kansas lake water leaves much to be desired...but it's wet!

I'm busy busy busy trying to get all the last minute things done around the farm before we head out. I hate flying but it takes 3 days to drive up there and we're limited for time this year.

I'm excited to go ...but I'm already anticipating leaving.

And that's always hard to do.

I hope your summer holidays have been good so far. Enjoy what's left of the season!

Take care.
