family BC trip

My parents came to visit us but their plan was to visit my brother in Vancouver for a few days before flying over to Calgary. However, we decided to surprise them at the Vancouver airport and thus came up our family BC road/camping trip. We had our very first family camp at Riverstoke. The kids were loving it; they loved it so much that they didn't go to bed until after 11pm and still managed to wake up early, I supposed they didn't want to miss out too much of the mountains. We stopped at Sicamus, Hope and onto Vancouver. My parents were so shocked and it took both of them a few moments to comprehend that we were in front of their eyes. It was so great to see and spend time with them as well as visiting my brother. We truly wish they could have live closer to us. We of course visited the town for a few days and the weather was simply lovely. Everywhere we looked was so green unlike Calgary at this time of the year. We thought we really don't mind living in a city that is much warmer. On the way home, we took more stops-Hope, Kolowna, Riverstoke and Yoho National Park as well as Banff for dinner before heading back to cow town. We want to be back in the Rockies again and soon.
