Our holidays in Dawson

Our trip to Dawson Creek was amazing!  We were so excited to get back up there to see our friends!  Doug, Suzy and their son Carter picked us up from the airport, and even though we haven't seen them in a year, we picked up right where we left off!  We stayed at their beautiful new home  (When we moved away from Dawson, their new house was being built, so it was our first time seeing it done, and it's gorgeous!) 
Their son Carter was kind enough to share his toys and space with Molly, and they got along great!  Carter is about 5 months older than Molly, and seriously probably one of the funniest kids I've ever met!  He has such a bright and funny personality!  There might be an arranged marriage in his and Mollys future! :)
The first weekend we were there, we took their holiday trailer out to our friends Lee and Tim's house.  (Tim owns the hunting store in Dawson) and I met Lee through Suzy. (Both of these ladies were also who I went chicken hunting with!!)  Lee and Tim live on a lake, so we parked in their yard and had a really fun weekend!  They also have 2 greater swiss mountain dogs, and Molly treated them just as she treats Arnold, petting them, laying on them etc.  Lee and Tim have two kiddos, Steele who is 3 and Tymber who is 6 days older than Molly!  It was soo hard to see Steele so grown up!  When we left, he was just a year old!  He's a totally different kid now!  But he's such a little gentleman!  It was our first time meeting Tymber, and she's such a doll!  She's the most outgoing, little daredevil I've ever met!  The kids played great, I hate to report, but Molls was kind of a whiner around all the kids at times, but I think she was just a little out of her element!  She got used to it all, and I just know they will all be friends forever!
While Suzy and I were camping out at Lee and Tim's, Gunnar and Doug went off for a little weekend bear hunt.  They had a lot of fun, they saw lots of grizzly and black bears.
We camped again in Tumbler Ridge, which is a town about an hour outside of Dawson, and it was a lot of fun!  Doug brought his river boat, and we boated to a beautiful waterfall.  
Overall, the trip was awesome!  Catching up with friends, going out to dinner, camping etc. We definitely agree, we can't go that long without getting back up there for another visit! Thanks for such a fun "holiday" guys! ~  Enjoy the pics!


Right when we got to their house, the kiddos played in Carter's bouncy house!

Canusew Falls (hope I spelled that right!)


Attempted a group shot in front of the falls!





We stopped here for a little snack!



These grizzly tracks were all over the beach where we stopped to eat!  Just a little scary!



They loved playing in the sand

That's one dirty girl!

Skipping rocks!

Driving the boat!


She loved climbing on the rocks at the campsite!

Lovin their marshmallows!

Had to post this pic, it's from a year ago when Doug, Suzy & Carter came to visit us in NM.  They've changed so much!!
