So I got to fly up to Smithers to see a friend from college :) It is about a 2 hour flight north and if I drove for four more hours I would get to Alaska - so that kinda gives you an idea where it is. It was such a great couple of days :) I got to meet her little boy Liam. We spent a great couple of days seeing all there is to see in Smithers - they still had snow half way down the mountains! It was gorgeous. On the Monday night we had a bonfire outside and I had my first S'mores experience. S'mores is a melted marshmellow, which you then squish between two Graham Crackers (which are just sweet biscuits) and a square of chocolate.... very sweet but soooo yummy!
My next adventure was Powell River to see Tina's family. Her dad hadnt met Emma before, as he works in Yemen, so we had a great 5 days there :) I went for a hike with Sammy, Tinas brother in law - just as we start the walk he decides to show me that he has brought Bear spray - naturally I became quite a bit nervous about this. It was a great week but also quite sad as I was saying goodbye to the family :( We realised it was the beginning of my goodbyes.... and there is nothing NOTHING good about goodbyes!So I embark on the last two weeks of my time here. Tina and I have it full of things to do, places to see, people to catch up with and our favourite restaurants to eat at..... and most importantly as many Emma hugs I can get in as possible!! :)
