Edmonton Alberta to Ontario!

When we went to Edmonton there was a huge mall that we went to. In the mall there was a huge water park, we didn't end up going though because it was too expensive. Also in the middle of the mall there was a big tank that had two seals in it.  Well we were at the mall we got some frozen yogurt that had these little bead things in it that are the shape of fish eggs, but has different types of juices in it, so when you bit it, it squirts out in your mouth. We didn't stay long in Edmonton, but it was really fun there. For the next few days we drove pretty much all day everyday, from Alberta to Ontario. Well we were driving we kept our eye out for animals but didn't really see any. Today we got to a campsite at around 9;00, but tried to go fishing on the river even though it was pretty dark, Owen was the the only one who ended up catching a fish, it was big but too bony to eat so we let it go.

Jasper B.C

We got to Jasper and checked out the town and the shops. The next day we went on a hike and we found a hole bunch of cool rocks at a river that is in the camp site that we are staying in. When we got back from the hike we showed Mackenzie and she wanted to go back and look for some.  The next day Mackenzie and my mom went back to look for some more rocks. Later we went to another hiking spot, and on the way we saw a black bear that was walking on the side of the road right beside us, well we were in jasper we saw about 5 black bears that were walking beside the road were we were driving.  When we got to the hiking spot there were misquotes swarming the car, nobody wanted to get out so we did't go on the hike.  On the way back we saw the black bear again. When it got dark we had to go to bed early because we had to wake up at nine to drive to a Glacier that we got to walk on. The bus that took us up had huge tires and at one point when we were in the bus driving to the glacier we went down a really steep hill, when we got to the top it was awesome and there was Glacier water that we filled up our water bottles with. After we saw the glacier we went to the sky walk that was also there it was so cool because it was all made out of glass and you could see all the mountains from were you were standing.

Marc's house in Terrace, BC

After we left Roger's Roost, we arrived at a campground a days drive away from my dad's friend Marc's house.  At the campground we celebrated Mackenzie's birthday.  Our dad made an amazing dinner of Greek salad and chicken.  For desert, we had lemon meringue pie and ice cream.  We downloaded the new move Beauty and the Beast to watch, but when we tried to start it, it would not play!  When we got to Marc's house, we were parking the bus and we scraped the road so much with the trailer hitch that it teared it up. When we got there, Marc's kids, Keagan, Kaitlyn,Sidney and Madison showed us around their house and we showed them the bus.  Keagan went to a concert and he played the ukulele and Madison had to babysit.  While they were at the concert and babysitting, Sidney, Katelyn, Ben, Mackenzie, Megan and Owen had a water gun fight and the girls had the hose which was not fair (according to the boys). The next day that we were there, the kids got to skip school but the night before we stayed up so late that everyone woke up around noon.  On the weekend, there is always a market, so we all went there to go see the stands.  On the ride there, all the kids were telling us about the tornado potatoes that are usually there, but we didn't see them.  Later that day, we went to Prince Rupert.  At Prince Rupert, we went to a Sea Festival and the tornado potato truck was there, but the line was too big so we didn't get one.  On Sunday all the kids, my dad and Marc played street hockey.  The girls were against the boys, plus my dad, on the girls team.  The game went on for around two hours, and at the start the boys were winning, but the the girls caught up to them, and at the end it was nine-nine, and the winning goal went to ... the girls! later we went to a beach but when we got there there as so many mosquitoes that we were all so itchy after.  Before we went to bed, the kids planned to wake up at five in the morning because we had to leave the next day.  So we did all end up waking up at five in the morning, and we went in the hot tub for a little bit then after watched  a movie, then we went up for breakfast, and we did this all before the other kids had to go to school.  A bit after, we left and arrived at Red Ceder campground in Prince George.

rout 99

The night before we left Cumberland we had a little celebration for Oban's and Mackenzie's birthday. For their birthdays we had huge bowls of ice cream.  The first two nights we stopped at whistler RV campground, while we were there we checked out the different villages.  The views at the camp ground were amassing.  We went on B.C sketchiest highway to get over a huge mountain.  We went to a lake on the mountain were there was still a whole bunch of snow and a huge glacier. For the night we stopped at a small campground in Lillooet were people would go to find gold in the river, a lot of people would go home with flakes of gold of even chunks!  We tried to dig for some, but never found any.  After another long drive, we stopped at a campground called 'Roger's Roost".  In Quesnell, while we were there, we met some kids who were around our age.  When it got dark, we played manhunt around the campground.  We were supposed to be in bed by 11 but we played until 12:15.
