Bella Coola 2010 Trip

This years trip to Bella Coola was a lot different than every other year. A lot of the people who are usually there couldn't come this year. No brother, no cousins etc. In one way it was nice because we got to spend time visiting with other people who we don't usually get to see a lot of. We had great weather and only had one small rain storm. The bugs weren't too bad until the last few days - Blakey got bitten up pretty bad. Lots of fish were caught and lots of fun was had!

Blake on his run-bike

He had tons of fun riding his bike around camp

Blake playing on Gramma Jane's stump

He had so much fun camping - loved getting dirty. All he wanted to do was walk around camp to say "hi" to everyone.

This was the last year that we will all be camping in this spot - we are really going to miss it. We all had fun at the annual pig roast. And we got in lots of laughs and good visits around the campfire.

We had a really great week in Bella Coola - we miss it already!
