Yep back to the property we go for some peace and quiet. This time we did some inprovements to the kitchen - boy does this make kitchen creations easier. We now don't have to make the emergency runs to 100 Mile for water - we can double filter the water up there. And now we can read at night with an electric light thanks to our solar panel and battery. We also painted the cabin, now its all one colour, much better than the three it used to be. And we did some clearing of slash from when it was logged over 20 years ago. Believe it or not we consider this relaxing times.
The boys are now arguing over who gets to drive the 4wheeler around the property with mom or dad on the back. And Shayleigh has figured out that riding on the back, beats the heck out of running after it. Ed can't even start it up without Tayler running to him - "I come, Daddy"
On the last day she showed us she knows how to start it - Ed was hooking up the trailer and she was sitting on the seat - next thing we knew she had turned the key, slid the red button to "run" and pressed start. Now we have to watch her with eagle eyes.
The weather was beautiful, lots of overcast days, but I think that kept the heat down. We had a pretty big - for us any way - thunderstorm with pelting rain, hail stones and wind - that was pretty exciting. Tayler wanted no part of it though and spent all of it curled up in a ball on Daddys shoulder.
On the way up we missed our favorite stop in Clinton - The Clinton Emporium with LOTS of old stuff. So we decided to go down on Tuesday to check it out and the Chasm too. We didn't buy much but it always interesting to see what he has in the store. We finally stopped at Chasm, which we both thought was a town - turns out it is a huge canyon, an absolute must on the way to 100 Mile House.
As usual its always hard to pack up and come home. We sure apreciate our modern conviences though. The kids were excited to see Honey cat again and play with friends too.
Ed and I look forward to the next trip - hopefully in August.

Hey Kelly,
Love the cowboy hats! And the picture in the river is great... good way to cool off!
Glad you had fun, but it's good to have you home, too!
