We stopped at Bijoux Falls for lunch. It was a little rainy, so it wasn’t too fun, but we ate lunch, saw some blue jays, and the pretty Bijoux Falls.

We are 1/3 of the way done with our trip. We have spent nearly 40 hours in the car together.
We drove from Prince George to Dawson Creek today. Lots of rain again, but we got to camp by 4:30 and we were off to get food for dinner by 5:30 and the kids are in bed by 8:45! Success! Our tent is leaking, so that is kind of a bummer, but we will survive. The sound of rain hitting the tent is a soothing sound.
One of our biggest struggles so far has been getting out of the “house” each morning. Despite our best efforts, we have not left until much later than we wanted each day. That puts us to our destination much later than we want our need, messes up our meals, and makes me pretty grumpy. It is not that I am focused on being on a schedule, but more that we are just late to everything, and then we are tired and worn out. And, we don’t have any time to play or explore at our new destination.
So, we rolled into our campsite today at about 5:45, and got started on everything. The tent got setup before the downpour, and we had dinner going. Except two hours later, the water still wasn’t boiling. What’s up with that?how can we not boil water? So, luckily, we are not out in the middle of nowhere, and we were able to go get a pizza.
