Long Weekend Fun!

We spent BC Day with our friends Sue, Mike Annika and Lauren. We had so much fun! And we spent it at a wonderful BC historic site - BARKERVILLE!!!  

We met Sue and Mike at Bowron Lake Lodge on Saturday evening, camping right on the lake - how nice it that!

View from our campsite!

SWIMMING - Whew its hot! 

Goofing around the campfire

I love it - this guy in the buckboard just wandered up and down the streets all day 

 We spent Sunday in Barkerville. We took in everything we possible could - stage coach ride,  lunch, gold panning, theatre show, gold panning and shopping.

Stage coach horses they were so sweet

It was quite a climb to the back 

Tay and Russ wanted to ride inside 

Lunch at Wake up Jakes

My General Store - kids thought this was awesome!

WHEN can we goldpan- Dylan was sure he was going to find a nugget!  He found four flakes in the bottom when he was done - he thought that was pretty good!

Swirl it!!! get it going! the gold will settle on the bottom. Come on , swirl it! 

The boys with Miss Wendle and her pound cake out of the stove behind them - and it was soooooooooooooooo good! 

Tayler signing out of school 

The girls, Mike and Sue wanted to go to school, so the boys and I wondered around the town. While in school Tay had to sit at the front because she was so small, Sue said she was so brave marched right to the front of the class and answered questions she was asked by the teacher and everything. So cute, she was full of stories when they were dismissed.

All the girls had to wear bonnets to school

Our gang! 

We had soooooooooo much fun, we even came back the next day for another quick visit and a little more shopping! 

So many pictures so little room!
