I hate canada!!

We are in a town called Grand Prarie, Canada. It's day 3 of our huge journey home! It has been sucky, but not as sucky as people have said. I'm actually really impressed with Kennedee and the cats. They stay in the car for usually 12 hours at a time and use their litter box and are just way good kitties. Kennedee does throw her fits when she's starting to get hungry.. and than we stop to eat she goes a lil crazy ha ha.. but much better than expected. Thank God for Dora, Kai Lan, Diego and all her other crazy movies. Also.. COLOR WONDER markers are the bomb diggity for two year olds!! The ALCAN hwy is annoying as hell bumpy, rough, and mostly under construction.. not to mention the huge wildfires that have been stopping us from driving thru certain towns and stuff. We've seen a TON of bears!! I'm soo amazed.. i lived in Alaska nearly 3 years and never once seen a bear!! I am convinced their are NO BEARS in alaska!! they all live in candada!! One came soo close to our car it was freaky as hell! ian fed it beef jerky dude, i got a ton of pics and they will be posted once we get settled into our apartment. We've seen moose, caribu, fox, bear and bison. Wow.. kenn is loving all the animals. But Canadians are freaking rude to us americans.. and the food here sucks!! Today was the first day i saw a damn mcdonalds.. and even then the food was different and sucked :( My pregnancy nightmares are comming true! ha ha j/k.. i'm just glad i'm not in labor or having contractions or anything like that. I've been driving about 60/40 with ian.. him the larger number of course.. but at least im helping.. give me a break i am holding a huge watermelon on my bladder each time! Tommorow we will be in Edmonton some time and will be stopping for the huge trip to the huge mall everyone claims i need to go to! I'm excited at least for that. Anyways.. i will blog when i can! just know we are all safe.. phones off while in canada though.

luv riss

  1. We stayed in Edmonton and calgary, that mall is pretty interesting being as it's so large. BEAR??? You know I'm jealous. What kind? I've never seen any in the wild. Have a safe drive.

  3. You crack me up! Can't wait to see the pics of the bears, Man if Ben gave a bear beef jerky I would be SOOO MAD AT HIM! Wouldn't that make the bear wanna break in the car to get more!? Oh man! When do you plan on being in Utah!? Or more important, when do you plan on hanging out with me ;) ~lace
