Campbell River - Father's Day

We went on a road trip on Father's Day, up to Cambell River, BC to visit my Dad's mom and his brothers.  We only ended up seeing Uncle Steve....we thought we might see Uncle Bob, but he was camping.  I hadn't seen Grandma in a couple of years, so it was much needed and a really great visit!  We took our vehicle up there as well, as there were too many of us to take only mom and dad's van.  However, on the way there (only 20ish km from our destination) one of our tires blew!  UGH!  We had known we would likely have to get new tires in the near future....unfortunately this expedited it!  We thought we would have to try and track something down in Campbell River, but thankfully  our spare was rated for 3000 miles at a speed of 65 mph....so we were good to go until we could get something new in Victoria after the weekend! :)  We were very thankful or that!

This is the greatest Canadian song ever....oh Canada, oh, oh, oh Canada! ;)
Jordan came in our car with us....we had fun with the camera, and switched back and forth between our ipods, trying to find the best songs :)  It was good times!
Yup....that's us....total gangstas! lol!
WHAT A DUMB NAME!! HA! :)
Craaaaaapppp!
Thankfully I was accompanied by an amazing husband and brother who are ever so talented in the tire changing department!

Grandma has a gorgeous garden that she puts a whole lot of time and effort into!
Grandma and I :) <3
We were so squished on the way home!  Mom and Jordan had left earlier to pick David up from his West Coast Trail hike, and since Mom wasn't wanting to take the risk of driving all that way on our spare tire, she of course took her van :)  So that meant we had 5 people in our 5 person car....it was COZY! :)  But we made it work....we mostly slept for the 3 hours!  As you can see, William was already there....this was only like 2 minutes into our trip home! Ha! :)

It was a really nice visit - I really hope to be able to get up there and see Grandma and my uncles more often.
