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.
