Big sky country.

Usually a trip to Gramma Le's house goes a little something like this.

• wake up, get in car.
• gas up in Vernon.
• Drive for 3 1/2  hours to Golden, pee, gas up again, eat at Subway, get back in the car.
• Drive for 3 1/2 hours to Calgary, pee, gas up again, eat at Wendy's, get back in the car.
• Drive for 3 1/2 hours to Jenner, say hi to Gramma and Popsie, pee, unload car and collapse on couch.

But, for a change, we did it a little something like this.........

• Leave home in the afternoon.
• Drive at a more leisurely pace, then join some fantastic friends and camp for the night.

• 
  
  Spend the morning nursing a wee sore head whilst the kids learn to drive farm equipment.

• 
  
  Jump in the car at noon and head to Calgary to hang out with more great company.

• 
  
  Spend the night in the city, shopping, visiting and generally catching up.
• 
  
  Get up, eat yummy breakfast, watch a movie, pack up the car and drive 3 hours to the ranch, stopping along the way for an impromptu photo shoot with the kids.

• 
  
  Get to Gramma's, say hi, cook yummy dinner, feed a baby calf, watch the sunset and go to bed.

• 
  
  Much better.
