Family Trip up North

Wow, i can't believe how long it has been since I updated this thing....darn Facebook!

In early May we had to go up to Prince Rupert and Terrace as "surprise" guests for Paul's Aunt's 70th birthday. On Friday Paul, myself and his sister headed out and caught our small plane up there. His mom headed up the day before. We arrived early enough that we were able to have the whole day to just hang out with some friends, wander around Prince Rupert (that took about 10 minutes!!) and relax with family. We stayed with his aunt Sandra and his cousin from Alberta also stayed there. We had a big crab feast for dinner - I think there were 21 crabs that we attempted to eat (only 15 actually got eaten but that is still impressive). On Saturday morning we headed down to Terrace to help get the hall set up and visit some more family.

The party was great - Amy walked into the room and was totally surprised and the party lasted until the wee hours of the morning - wow can that family ever party!!! Paul and I (the sober) ones had to drive everyone to the campground (which flooded out during the flood in June) I think Paul and I were able to go to bed around 4:30am and then we were up and out again at around 10:00. We headed back to the campground for more visiting before we had to head back home.

All in all it was a very quick but wonderful weekend and it was nice to see the family and get away for a couple of days.
