Wednesday morning we woke up bright and early and drove to William's Lake to pick up Sean from the airport. The kids and I were tired having been up late having a "sleepover", however, we decided to keep driving north and spend the day at Barkerville!
We arrived around 12:30 and spent the next four hours exploring all that Barkerville has to offer. Before we set out, I quickly took the girls to the bathroom. I came out to find Sean surrounded by a tour group visiting from China. They were thrilled to see the blond hair, blue eyed kids as well as twins and five kids in total. They took turns posing with us for pictures! It was a funny scene indeed and we couldn't help but laugh with them in their enthusiasm. I wish I had gotten a picture of it with my camera!
The horse carriage.
Root beer floats!
A game of marbles. This was really enjoyable and we bought marbles so we can continue to play at home.
We chatted with the people of the past.
We left Barkerville at 4:28pm. After a long day with NO naps, everyone was pretty spent by the time we started driving.
This picture was taken at 4:30pm
4:33pm
4:34pm (The first time we've seen this in about 3 years!)
4:37pm
Not Mikayla though. She thought her time was better spent calling, "Mommy" over and over and over and over.............
The kids woke up as we arrived in Quesnel and then we spent the next 2 hours listening to crying and screaming.
A great trip but happy to be home!!
:) So glad you had a good day, other then the last 2 hours.
