Fairmont BC
This was our weekend spent in Fairmont BC. We were very blessed a couple of years ago to received a time share in Fairmont from some of my moms friends that they were no longer using and so we were more than happy to take that off their hands and we have really put it to great use. So we took some time to go there for a few days. The pool was one of the boys favorite places to be. I love the googlie eyes from the goggles. LOL
Darien and Keagan playing their water games.
Our fish Stefan again with the great eyes. :)
Our favorite thing hiking. So tried to get a hike in a day. This was the start of a great hike. I love these boys.
Our first stop was at the water falls.
It was a great hike down to the river and now we are getting ready for the looooonnnngggg hike up. It was a lot of switch backs.
When we made it to the top it was a lot warmer. LOL I am not sure if it was the hike or the fact that we got that much higher and closer to the sun. LOL We did have one scary moment when Darien and Keagan got so far ahead of us that we couldn't find them. As a mom my heart skipped a beat not being able to hear them when we were calling them. They were being survivor men by running up the hill to the next switch back instead of going the long way and they got too far ahead. They learned a valuable lesson about staying close enough that we can hear each other. They were never lost as they knew how to get back to the truck and could see it the whole time that we were hiking but I like to keep everyone close. I guess they have to spread their wings and have some learning experiences.
We took the easier way back to the truck down the road. LOL We had some pretty sore feet and tired children but they did amazing. Our little Stefan probably gets pushed more than a regular 3 year old but he loves it and there is always a certain older brother who he has wrapped around his little finger that is willing to piggy back him. (Darien is so sweet with him).
Our evening spent at the hot springs to relieve our sore muscles.
It was so great and we stayed there until we were completely water logged. The view of the mountains and the outdoors was amazing. It was very chilly when you got out of the water, so my head was the only thing that really stayed out of the water. LOL
The boys are a little more tough than me.
And the end of the day. What more can I say Stefan was too pooped to pop. LOL
These units that we stay in are really the best way to travel when you have kids. We have enough room for them all to sleep without being on top of one another. We bring all our own food to save on the cost. There is one grocery store but it is so expensive that we only like to have to buy milk if we need too. LOL
Our day two hike. We went to the hot springs water fall. This is a hike that we did two summers ago when we came to Fairmont. It was a lot warmer last time but it was still beautiful.
