First RV (Mo-Ho) trip. July 7-19

Here is the new motorhome... or Mo-Ho as Rya calls it. We intended to make our maiden voyage all the way to Ontario to see all the family but we didn't get that far. We realized before we left that time just did not permit. Sorry Ontario family. We headed off to Kelowna first and visited with our friends Steve and Lindsay and their two kids Tristan and Aidia.

We thought about stopping them.. but thought what for? At least it isn't my couch... though now Rya jumps on the couch at home. Should we stop her?

Here is a little look at our first journey. After Kelowna we camped in Revelstoke for a night and then went to Calgary to see the calgary family.

Since we weren't in a rush we thought we would stop and look at trains. A little homage to Grandpa

Here we are in Calgary visiting Gra'mere and looking at the ducks.


We had to go to the Calgary Zoo!

The giraffe is right behind them eating a leaf. This was a great day Rya went crazy for all the animals, she named and signed them all. It was smoking hot though.. Mamma was hurtin.

Here is Rya with her "cousins" Mary, Peter, and John. We stayed with Uncle Tom and Karen and the kids for a few days and visited as any of the relatives as we could. We got to see cousin Jenn and Emily and also Aunts Meredith and Allison. It was a really great visit and good time with the family.

We headed off to Nelson to visit our friends Benje and Jeb. We had a great but short visit with them... sorry for the late notice guys (sigh). and then went to Oliver. On the way we stopped at as many lakes as possible. Lake Moyie outside of Nelson was by far the best... but here is a clip from Christina Lake outside of Grand Forks. Rya has become quite a swimmer!



We stayed with my highschool friend Kathy and her family for a night in Oliver. It was great to see her and her family, but We realized that we hadn't done much "camping" in the new RV and wanted to get at least another night in away from the safety of a house. We headed to a campground in Hedley.


On the way we stopped at a great Petting Zoo/Farm. Farmer Johns! Loved it! Rya loved it too... it loved Rya....

After Hedley we got a timely phone call from Malcolm and Jen inviting us to join in on the party at Jen's parents cabin just outside of Princeton in Tulameen.
It was perfect timing and we ended out trip there.
Thank-you to everyone for letting us park at your homes.
