Vacation Begins!

So we left Tuesday morning for Alberta, we got up at 4:00 am to catch the 6:30 am ferry... my goodness is that boat ever a pain!! But we got there in time with our McDonald's breakfast and free coffees and had the play area to our self for half of the trip. Adessa was a little nut, she was going up and down the slide by herself and walking like she was on the moon and laughing so hard! Steve and I were laughing so hard as well! We got to the other side and drove hard until Merrit. The Cocahalla wasn't too bad and we made pretty good time. We stopped at the play place at the DQ and orange Julius. Such a fun one for the girls, we played for an hour. We then got to the Carruthers home at around 2:30pm. They just moved to their beautiful new home on Saturday. It is on a golf course, with its own little suite attached to it! It was better than staying in a hotel, by far! We had such a wonderful visit with them and Danika and Jolie had a great time playing. We spent one night there and then left around noon to head to Cochrane for another night. The roads were pretty awful between golden and Cochrane and going through the national park we were going the speed limit until we decided to pass a semi who was blowing snow at us, as soon as we did we saw the dreaded police colors flashing their lights at us and we got caught going 120 in a 90 zone... which as soon as the police left us and we drove about 5 minutes it went back up to 110!!! We were sooo choked... Adessa had been screaming and we were just done with driving. So when we finally pulled into the Fitzpatrick's home we were relieved! We all had an awesome nights rest, and now we are packing up once again to drive another 3 hours to Edmonton to spend the weekend with Steve's sister! Hopefully a movie or 2 will occupy them for this trip!!
