We've started a blog...and it's snowing!

While in the Burnaby Cariboo RV Park in Burnaby (Vancouver) Canada, we met a traveling family, the Orsers.  We've so enjoyed our few days together and have a debt of gratitude to them for all of their insights and advice.  One of which, was to convince us that we need to set up a blog.  We've been behind in updating our website with the pictures and journals for about a month now.  The blog will be an easy way for Robert or Joss to post pictures and jot down witty missives (hey we can hope ehh?).  

So here goes our first entry...

We awoke this morning to the most beautiful white (as if it comes in any other color) blanket of snow!  We experienced snow on Mt. Shasta two months ago but we've yet to have snow on our trailer.  Well no more, we've de-virginized the Titanium in Canada (is that legal?).   Sawyer was SO excited he ran in to wake up big brother and then, while Robert was taking Baylee for her morning business, he woke up mom (he's much braver than Robert when it comes to waking mom, that's for sure!)  {Picture soon...soon as we figure out how to add it}

It snowed on and off most of the day, probably 3-4 inches total.  It is a beautiful fluffy, dry snow so it didn't seem that cold.  Our trusty thermometer said 28°F this morning.  

Robert and Sawyer took our dually to the grocery store and did some fishtailing as they left the RV park (it MIGHT have had something to do with Robert's heavy right foot)!  After the grocery store, they ventured to Costco.  The parking lot was packed and visions of huge lines danced in Robert's head.  But it was Costco after all so they headed in.  All the packaging is in English and French (Canadian law) so it makes it harder to read the printing then it is in the states, simply because they have to cram twice as much of it on the same size package!  

Back at the RV Park, Yvonne (the Orser's beautiful 5 y/o girl) invited our boys over to their trailer to play.  Robert and Sawyer were up from nap first so they went over.  (We later learned that Sawyer DIDN'T actually take a nap but Dad didn't know that at the time!)  Joss and Robby soon followed and the adults enjoyed several hours of conversation about trips past and present!  It's so nice to have other parents to talk about these things with, thank you Jim and Leslie!
