Small town Canada.  The kind of place you can ride your bike to the town park, sit on the park bench and visit with your new neighbors, or get an ice cream and look at the view.  That’s just what we did — with a little kayaking thrown it.  Harrison Hot Springs is a wonderful place, two streets.  The kind of place that Vancouver folk use to get away from the city.  I dare say we were the only Americans in the RV park, and by people’s reaction to our license plates, perhaps the whole town.

It is surrounded by snowcapped mountains, and a glacier fed lake.  A lake so beautiful and so large, it empties into a gently flowing river, 10 feet deep.  Perfect kayaking for the boys.  Three hours across the lake, down the river, goofing around, taking pictures, making memories.  Chase asked if he could go home a take a nap!!!  So off they went, while grandma sat and talked, sat and read, sat and sunned.   A win, win sort of day for the whole family.
