Hi Sorry Guys,
I guess I haven’t written in a while, but that’s okay, I have been very VERY busy, with Patricia ( our old tenant who rented our house) having to move out because she was not the best tenant in the world, but that is over and done with though. Anyways, today, we arrived in Coos bay, Oregon. It is soo windy here. But that’s only because we are right next to the ocean, so I guess it’s okay. Well I really want to go snorkeling, but as everyone knows, I am afraid of fish and sharks and whales etc… So technically You can say I am afraid of the ocean. And depending on the pool, I am sometimes scared of them, but that’s only because I hate sharks, and pools sometimes remind me of them. Anyways, enough about my fears. I don’t want to embarrass myself anymore than I already have. On our way to Oregon, we saw this bridge that was for bigger boats, and one of the middle sections rotated 180 deggres so there was two lanes for the boat. It was really neat. Well talk to you later.
4 commentsYesterday we arrived in Washington. Not Washington DC, But Washington as in Seattle area. It is really nice here. While we were driving to the new campground, called Olympia Campground, So many Americans were looking at our trailer because it is so big. I don’t think I told you guys this, but our trailer is 43 feet long and about 8 1/2 feet wide. It Is very big. Melanie and I each have our own bedrooms, which both lead into the bathroom. I love it. I have all my friends pictures posted above my head when I sleep. I have quite a few posters posted in my room too. Well My internet is dying so Talk to you Later

Today was cool, I guess. Our family had a bit of an argument, but nothing serious. Melanie and I really wanted to go swimming this morning but mom and dad wouldn’t let us so we started to argue. Anyways enough about that. Today we went to minter gardens.It was cool. We went in a hedge maze. It was fun. we also stood right beside little waterfalls. They had so many Flowers. We were also going to go to a waterslide park, but we would have only been there for two hours, so we decided to go tomorrow. Talk to you soon.

Today was the coolest! We went to Hell’s Gate. We went on a suspension bridge that hung over a really big fast moving river. The river was 165 feet deep! The water has once gone up to 208 feet deep. To get to the suspension bridge, we had to go down a mountain. We took and air tram down. Mom was pretty scared. After Hell’s Gate, we went to a museum in Yale, BC. There, we did a tour of a house built in the 1800’s. After the tour of the house, we looked at a church that was not even a kilometer away from the house. It was built in the 1800’s as well. It is the oldest church still in it’s exact location in Canada. Even though it got knocked over by a gigantic wind storm, some things still remained. They were then placed back into the newer church. After the church tour, we learned how to pan for gold. It was so much fun, but you need a lot of patience. Trust me, I got really frustrated closer to the end, because I dropped my vile of gold in the water twice, so I lost all of my gold. Oh well, the lady at the museum gave me a new bag of dirt and gold and rocks that I can pan with on my own at a river nearby. Well talk to you soon.

Today was the first day of our Big Trip! The first stop is Revelstoke British Columbia. It is very warm. The temperature felt like 42 degrees Celsius! Anyways we went on a Dam tour (hee hee) of the Revelstoke concrete water Dam. It was very cool. We took an elevator up a tower of 100 meters high. The height of the Dam was 175 meters high and 1 kilometer high. Tonight we are staying at the Revelstoke KOA Kampground. I love the swimming Pool. Well I got to get back to swimming now. Bye
