Blame Canada!
July 14, 2006That’s right - blame Canada for this happy smile on Nathan’s face
Nathan and Carter are settling down well to the life in Amma’s (Gramma’s) house even though our first night was a sleepless one. Jetlag is another term for hell!
On a brighter note this weekend is the annual Billy Barker Days celebrations for the town of Quesnel and we kicked things off by heading to the “Crash to Pass” - a stockcar race where mayhem is the name of the game. To win you need to be the last car able to complete 3 full laps of the Goldpan Speedway which means you have to take out your competition without being taken out.
It poured rain and we had to leave after intermission as Carter was delirious from jetlag and Grampa was soaking wet and frozen to the bone. Hot chocolates at Micky D’s helped warm up the insides. Fortunately we left Nathan with Gramma.
Upcoming festivities include Kids Day in the Park, the Parade, Goldrush Fun Run (5.2km for Dalong), the Rodeo and my personal favourite .. Nick Gilder of Sweeney Todd fame doing a free concert. Roxy Roller all the way!
Living large and loving life in the Cariboo.
