We spent two days driving up to Kamloops, British Columbia to visit my Grandpa and Deanna, a day driving from Kamloops to Calgary, and another two days driving from Calgary back to Provo.
Here’s Gavin at the US/Canadian border. It was about a 20 minute wait so we let Gavin get out of the car and play on the grass for a while. Notice the American and Canadian flags? We thought it was appropriate for the dual citizen in our family!
The first thing we did after crossing the border was to find the nearest A&W for some poutine!!! It’s French Canadian – French fries with mozzarella cheese curds smothered in gravy – and oh so delicious!
Our time in Kamloops was wonderful and it was so great to see my Grandpa and Deanna, and for them to meet Gavin. I loved seeing my Grandpa’s wood shop where he’s made lots of toy cars and trains, as well as beautiful bowls, jewelry boxes, pens, etc. I’ll have to post some pictures of the car and train he made when Gavin was born! Deanna also helped me out with lots of quilting and sewing questions that I had and showed me lots of the beautiful quilts she’s made. We loved being able to come for a visit, and thanks for such a wonderful time!
This is the house where my Mom grew up
Of course we had to visit a park!
Apparently my Mom and Aunt Joan used to play at this park when they were little.
Gavin loved the pool despite the FREEZING cold water
Grandpa and Deanna’s place as a beautiful view of Kamloops.
Here’s Grandpa showing Gavin the view
Out for a walk
Thanks again for such a great time! We can’t wait for another visit.

What an adventure! People underestimate kids and their ability to adapt.
