My family and I just got back from a 10 day holliday here in BC. We drove over 2000 miles visiting family and friends, partaking in everything from minigolf to fishing. The kids experienced all sorts of new things, it was incredible to see it through their eyes. For my son it was his first ferry ride (to Vancouver island), so you can imagine a 6 yr olds excitement, or his feelings about driving my uncle's ski boat at full speed.
This trip also brought home to me what a wonderful and diverse province we live in. I saw peope well into their second cut of hay down in interior, mountain sheep and snow in the mountains, fishing boats in the ocean, sagebrush and tumbleweeds in the Chilcotin, fruit stands selling any number of kinds of fresh fruit, Canada day fireworks in Parksville, fed the family down at Hell's Gate where the Fraser river is 110 feet wide and 150 feet deep roaring through the rocks....
However, I think the best part of all was coming back through the mountains on the way home and catching the first sight of the Peace Hills, and knowing we were home where our roots run deep.
It is great to live in the best country in the world. God bless Canada.
