Our trip to 100 Mile

We are back to the everyday once again. We had a great trip to the cabin. Its so nice to go and hav a change on scenery. The lifestyle is so laid back, makesit even more relaxing. The cabin is at a point now, we are warm, dry and fairly comfortable with only a few creature comforts missing (a shower and thick mattress to sleep on) The first full day we spent exploring and found a beautiful secluded little meadow on the edge of Bridge creek. From here we wondered towards the west side of the property and up a billy goat trail(deer trail) to the "top " field and back to the cabin for a snack and a rest. Throughout our trip we did alot of cleanup. The property was logged in teh 70s so there is alot of dead trees and branches lying around, so some of the fires we had were pretty spectacular compared to the average burn barrel. We did alot of cooking over the fire thats always fun - one time I found Cody helping himself to our dinner. The boys love roasting smarshmallows(as dylan calls them) its the most exciting part of the day. On May 19 we went into 100 Mile for the pancake breaky, Rodeo parade and streetfest. This was loads of fun. There was the zanniest marching band in the parade.They were all dressed in silly costumes, chasing each other around, it was hilarious. On the way back to the cabin we met some neighbours from down the street (or in our case - dirt road) Everyone we have met so far has been very nice and friendly.
Over the weekend we had a thunderdstorm during the day thats always exciting. Thank goodness it wasn't at night as Dylan was very nervous. He comes by it honestly as I have never really liked them either.Ed , however, quite enjoys them - thats the Ontario native coming out in him:-)
On Monday we met some relatives on Eds side and had a great visit. Turns out she is a cousin to Eds mom. What a small world!
On the way home we decided it would be fun to take the Duffy Lake road. Well it was fun and absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful. But the road itself could use some work - Poor Russ was car sick from all the twists and turns and bumps. Its amazing how quick Ed can stop when the threat of vomit in his favorite truck is possibly seconds away. We were home Tuesday night and had a great nights sleep in our own beds.
Getting back into the swing of things is never easy but Ed has hit the grindstone hard, and Dylans friends were very happy to see him back.
we all look forward to going again REAL SOON!!!
