So I'm FINALLY blogging about our 2 weeks of Holiday's in BC! :-)



We left at 4am on June 26. We were headed Ellison Lake BC (close to Vernon). When we got there we were very confused about how to check in, we forgot the number of the campsite we booked and there was no front gate :-S There was a campsite with a 'camp host' sign, but there was a little sign under it saying "off Duty" So we drove around the campground a few times, drove up and down the main road, then finally we were going to try call Matthew's parents to see if they could check it online for us, so we parked by the campground map...then we seen a little paper with names on it, it had the names of the expected guests and their campsites :-) Yay! So we headed to our campsite.


The campsites were pretty open, but on the bright side - the one we booked was HUGE! Our tent and screen tent look small in the site! Set up went pretty smoothly, we had booked a site close to the bathrooms, and water :-) The kids were pretty good, exploring the campsite, and Dylan just HAD to climb on top of the picnic table! :-P


On Sunday we headed to Vernon church. After church we went to Uncle Yogi and Aunt Sophie's place for lunch. We had a great time visiting! They have an amazing view from their living room window, and balcony! On Monday we walked around the campground checked out a few trails, went to the beach and just relaxed.
(p.s. if you ever go to Ellison lake I'm warning you - the trail to the beach might be fun on the way down but it is quite a hike going back up. :-P)



We headed t
o Kyle and Nadine's place on Tuesday (we had actually planned to leave the campground on Wednesday but I booked one night too little, oops). We got there in the afternoon, so we unloaded a few things and then went to the park with Nadine and Lucas :-)




I'll continue blogging about our trip a little later....I gotta go make lunch and then head to the splash park with Sue and Alecia :-) Till next time.

  1. Thanks for the pictures! Wow! There's a lot of stuff in the back of that van. Now imagine going camping with 5 kids in a minivan, from Manitoba to BC! No wonder we needed a roof rack. Love the big screen tent! Looks like your happy little family had an awesome time! Love you guys, and can't wait to see you all again.
