Moving Weekend
Home Sweet Home Today we will be moving some furniture to Mom's condo, taking the opportunity to upgrade Mom's couch and table and bed. I am happy that many of the items in our home are going to family that will be able to continue to enjoy them for years to come. It also reduces the sadness that I feel sometimes, as I think about leaving our amazing home. Darrel and I purchased the home back in 2008 and we have spent oodles of money along with blood, sweat and tears making this house our home. I can honestly say that everyone that came with their Realtor loved our home. I am sad knowing that we will be leaving soon, but I am also happy knowing that our home will become someone else's home, who will love it like we did. Thank you Dad, Uncle Jordy, Christian, Courtney and Susan for helping Darrel, Cody and I today! I love that our family is taking part in our journey with us.

Food, Friends, Fun and a Lake too!
This was our third trip out in the motorhome and Darrel wanted to experiment with the motorhome oven as it is so different from our double wall ovens at home. Darrel experimented with making a home made cherry pie (with cherries from our back garden), from scratch cinnamon buns and fresh baked bread. The smells coming from our campsite were not your typical campsite aromas. As people walked by, they stopped to comment on the size of our motorhome and then the smell of fresh baked cinnamon buns hit them. Stacy must have smelt them all the way back in Calgary as she decided to drive out for a visit and sample the fresh baking. We decided to take a stroll around the campground and walked over to the lake and there must have been 300 people in and around the water. The water was cool but satisfying as it was 33 degrees out and the sun was relentless. It was nice to catch up with Stacy, share some laughs and discuss Stacy's dreams of going full time like us.Aspen Crossing

- Review: This campground has lots to offer at $70.00 a night with full hookups. Two restaurants and a general store offer lots of food options if the cook wants to take a night off, and they offer delivery to your camp site too! You can rent bikes, go for ice cream, swim in a lake, walk along the paths, visit pigs and chickens, enjoy a train ride (and robbery with a shoot-out too) and lots more to see and do. Aspen Crossing is very popular with young families as there is so much to see and do.
