Family & Friends - (old and new) have enriched our summer in many ways this year.
As I've often said to so many people, when I move on I don't miss places but I do (and will always) miss people.
PARTIES AND GATHERINGS
We started our adventure - after multiple good bye gatherings - leaving our many friends in Penticton and Summerland and driving to Kamloops for an amazing 25th anniversary weekend for Anne & Bill!
Wasn't that a PARTY! Fabulous setting, people and food! Even a pig roast!
Kimmie & Johnny were amazing hosts!

We got to see Leslie & Don in Vernon on the way and stayed at Swan lake Resort..
And afterward, we able to see Mark & Janis Ottem and Judy Bregoliss and enjoy a delicious dinner at the Ottem's home on the Shuswap - We enjoyed staying at Blind Bay Resort for a couple of days.
and also able to see Jacey & Tyler, Keithan, Grady & Hanna, as well Cheryl too for a wonderful dinner at their home in Kamloops.
We then carried on to 100 Mile House where we were able to stay for a week on Bry's sister Karen's acreage. We really enjoyed staying with her and we visited back and forth with her throughout the summer too. As well, Karen supplied us with all our firewood this summer - what an incredible gift! We attended Canada Day July 1 at the 108 Heritage Site and enjoyed the Garlic Festival too! I spent some time gathering wild flowers on Karen's acreage - so beautiful there!
NEW GRAND-DAUGHTER - July 1, 2016
During the summer, I was so excited to fly to Vancouver Island to meet my new granddaughter Amelia. It was absolutely wonderful to be able to spend a week with Mike & Jen and baby 'Mia'!
LAC LA HACHE PROVINCIAL PARK - CAMPGROUND HOSTS - July 3 to September 13, 2016
Lac La Hache was a GREAT experience! We met folks from all over the world who were traveling through the Cariboo to and from Alaska, Bella Coola & Jasper. People stayed from all over Canads, International travellers included people from Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Australia, the UK and so many from the US - Travelers from Texas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, California, Oregon and Idaho. Some of the American RVers were full timers and we've added them to our FB friends. One couple have been 'on the road' for 13 years! So many great tips from them!

We enjoyed meeting and greeting, giving directions and suggestions for meals & activities, helping campers, restocking our info kiosk and selling firewood. Although we think we'd like to be busier next year, it was a good 'first time' experience and we will definitely do it again next year!
Bryan spent lots of time fishing while we were at Lac Hache - that's fishing NOT catching! BUT he enjoyed his quiet time at the lake.

While we were in Lac La Hache serving as campground hosts, we also enjoyed visits from Judy & Oceana, Doug & Allison, Dan & Maureen, Donna & Danny, Jim & Marlene (and their friends) and Mary Ovens.
