The Peace

This summer we stayed at the Peace Island Park in Taylor. Which is about 15 km from Fort St. John. I am actually very proud of ourselves cause we lived in our 21 foot trailer without running water and without septic. We had to fill up water and dump the septic every 4-5 days as well as moving all around the campground cause people had reservations for certain spots. We spent about 7 weeks living the simple life. No TV, no computer, no phone (we did have a cell). We would go to swimming lessons everyday just so we could shower everyday. Oh yeah we did not have AC, which was hard cause in July they had very high temps, and it would not cool down until midnight or so. Everyday we would hang out at the Peace River or the Pine River. We collected so many rocks, we are rockaholics. When I drove home at the end of summer, my van was filled with rocks for our property back home. We figured it would be a neat idea to have Peace rocks at our property in Summerland. Vayda was so determined, she seriously would spend atleast an hour or two looking for rocks. The blue bridge in the pic above is the Taylor bridge. Everyday we would cross it to go to swimming lessons and Tessa would yell "I see the Peace, I see the Peace" She was so excited to see the Peace when we just came up 2 weeks ago. So slowly I am getting around to blogging about the summer. This summer was definitely a great experience for our family. We will remember it forever.
