Our Higgin Holiday

Ok Ok, I guess there are some people out there who are reading this and so I guess it's time to update.

We took a 2 week holiday this year to BC. We left Edmonton, got a flat tire 10 minutes into our trip, then it was off. We stopped in Merritt for the night, meeting up with John's sister and family. Then off the the ferry. We did take a 3 hour detour to see some 'exciting' coal mine. I guess everyone liked it but me, I just wanted to get to John's dads house.


During our trip we went fishing as a family, just with a stick and some line. The crowning moment of the trip for John who caught the one and only fish 5 minutes in. Kyla and I had caught little ones, but John says they didn't count. :(

(I'm having a hard time keeping my pictures in place so I'll just write and you'll have to find the corresponding pictures. More work for you but I'm sure you can handle it :))

We also took 7 kids and walked around Savory Island. Grandpa wasn't kidding when he said it was an ALL DAY trip. The first part was nice sandy beaches and shells to collect along the way and the weather was great. But then it started to get HOT and ROCKY and there were little animals in the water that were stinging. By the end we decided never to do the rocky side again. That trip completely exhausted the girls.

Grandpa beach is a block away from the house (the beautiful house posted) so we went there a lot. We took kites to the beach and all the kids took turns flying it. Corbin, Grandpas dog, was going crazy! When ever the kite was almost going to crash, he would run and jump and try to attack it. The kids liked teasing him. Good times.


It was a nice holiday with family and the kids with all the cousins. But it is good to be home now and back to normal. Pre-school is starting along with swimming lessons, dance lessons, Pre-natal apts, playgroups, etc. Busy times. Life is great!!
