Oh Canada

By BJ | August 14, 2007

dsc_0274.JPGThe last couple of years in the beginning of July the Wilson clan has headed packed up the car and headed north to meet up with the Canadian part of the family. This year we stopped in Couer d Alene along the way for the 4th, and then continued north. The drive to Couer dAlene was cool, passing through much of western Idaho. The town was hopping for the holiday weekend. We went to an amusement park on the 4th, and Azha rode all the roller coasters like a crazied maniac. After the first one she told the attendant it was the best one she’d ever been on and then told us she wanted to go on the faster and scarier one. That a girl!

After the roller coasters we headed to the water park to cool off, and spent some time in the wave pool, teaching the kids how to dodge waves. Good fun. Later that night we watched the fireworks over Lake Couer d Alene, and then headed to bed to rest up for the rest of the drive to Canada!

Continuing north, we passed through Sand Point, another cool little town on the shores of a huge lake. It seemed like a cool spot, we’ll have to check it out more at some point. It was an easy drive from here to Cranbrook, following windy mountain roads. In Cranbrook I got my first view of the Canadian Rockies, damn those things are huge! I still haven’t looked up what the range we were looking at is, but they were impressive, and I was told that these are just the small ones! Going to have to come back to Canada for sure!

We stayed at a campground just outside of Fort Steele, a historic frontier fort. We braved the heat and walked around the old town, checking out the restored buildings, the old watchtower, and even a blacksmith. He showed us how they made nails, and other things. Before we left we went to the old time photo place where we all dressed up like cowboys and such and got our pictures taken. We’ll post the pictures Soon.
