Road Trip and July 1st! (part one)

Warning, this was our epic summer trip so there

 will be numerous posts about this trip!!

So we are on our way to Revelstoke for 

our family road trip and amazing bucket list 

experience for Shane!  

Hang Gliding!  

But I'll get to that in future posts this was a

 week long trip full of super fun adventures!

Now some back story.  

Grandma Cathy turned 60 in march and 

decided that what she desperately wanted 

for her birthday was to go hang gliding 

and to take any of her kids 

who wanted to go.  

Think Shane can turn that down - never!

So it took all his will power to not be in charge of this trip.

I love him dearly but he has serious control issues,

especially when it comes to the outdoors.

There were numerous nights where I reminded him 

it wasn't his trip and he needed to just sit back 

and do his best to do what he was asked.

It was a great trip, and we found lots of ways 

to make sure our kids had as much 

awesome activity as Shane. 

Part ONE!

We packed up our stuff, LOTS of stuff, and got ready to hit the road!

Before we left every girl got her camp braids.

(They really didn't last long.)

Ms. V wanted three braids.

All squished in the back!

This girl apparently likes to travel in her swim suit!

Playing pass and play risk on dad's phone.

 

  

We're off!

 

Our first night of the trip we spent in Calgary with friends!

The same friends who let us stay with them before the funeral.

(They are awesome and we love them!!!)

We rolled into the city and had a great time visiting.

We got to stay in their tent trailer, 

and most of the kids had slumber parties inside.

The next day we had a crazy day in Kaninaskis,

the boys went biking and we waited 

around all day for them.

But that's in the next post!
