Summer in Prince George

July was time for our annual trip to Prince George. Canada Day in Prince George is very good and by going first thing in July it leaves Kerry and the kids the rest of the summer to spend in the back yard. We arrived on the 30th which was much better than last year when we arrived on the first and headed straight to Fort George park. It was much nicer being able to go to the park earlier in the day  and left us the afternoon to go out to West Lake. Canada Day in PG always has lot's of food options. I kept it simple with bannock and a hot dog.

We only spent a few hours at the park with the kids spending most of it in at the water park. There is a great steam engine but the line up was long and the kids didn't want to wait. After the park we headed out to West Lake. Our family has property there and Callie had a blast with her new life jacket, riding the waves. The water was too rough to use the canoe but Carter still had fun sitting in it and fishing from shore. Just a plastic rod but it has a real reel and he caught a fish every time. (A rubber fish he called fishy.)

The other fun part of the trip was spending time with my 92 year old grandmother. We call her GG for great grandmother since that's what she is to the kids. We spent some time at her place, went out for Chinese food as well as to McDonald's. Other events included four trips to the lake, one of which involved Callie catching a poor toad and carting it around for about half an hour. We also headed out to Kerry's friend Sandy's for dinner. A great place on the river. We finished off the week with dinner at my parent's place with my brother Eric and his fiance. Wedding is in September so we'll be back soon.
