Long weekend fun!

We had a great weekend - starting with me not having to work Saturday morning!

We had been asked by our neightbours to help put plastic on their greenhouse. No problem you say - hah! the greenhouse is HUGE! we had 7 adults, 3 kids, 3 ladders and lots of rope but all in all it went really smoothly and we enjoyed lunch with them!

Plastic roof is on

Now we have to secure it. Eds on the short ladder and Rick is on the tall one.

Rick and Laura have lots of animals, sheep, chickens, pigs, turkeys and of course Sasha the dog. These piglets are 2 weeks old (I think)

The dogs were hilarious with the pig, they would sniff at his nose through the fence

Sunday was Russells birthday so we let him decide what we would have for breakfast - blueberry pancakes and eggs. As we were sitting down to eat Jason and Sierra came over and wanted to know if we all wanted to go on a little road trip to Quesnel Forks. He explained that it was a ghost town outside of Likely, that was being restored and they really wanted to go see it and would we like to come. So, we had an hour to pack the car, if it was nice we would stay overnight. I ran around trying to finad all our camping gear and in a little over an hour we were off!

Likely, BC - we stopped at the park for the kids to stretch their legs!

We made it! the road in was gravel and not well maintained, and the hill down into Quesnel Forks was crazy steep!

Looking out from Quesnel Forks at Quesnel River meeting up with Cariboo River - they are high and ragging!

The next morning we found this little canyon and spent the afternoon there, the kids explored the bush around this little beach and did some fishing and lots of visiting

On the way home we went to see Cedar Point Park in Likely. Its a campground and musuem beautiful place and the museum was very interesting

We had so much fun exploring, its gorgeous country with an interesting past.
