We're back!

Ryan took this photo as you can tell. He took it while riding his horse, I really like how it looks. He's got this "yeah, i'm on a horse, i'm cool" look... I laughed so hard when I saw it I snorted. I can't wait to print it out really big. I'm a little blurry in the background, but hey, he was bouncing around on a horse when he took it.



This is a shot of the lodge. It was really pretty. Ryan really likes log cabins - he wants our house one day to be a log cabin. I like how they look, but when I look at them for a little longer, all I see is nooks and crannies to dust. The lodge is about an hour and a half out of Fort St John. Definitely will go back out there again, it was so quiet.

Today we went horse back riding for about 4 hours.... my butt hurts, a lot. But it was cool. Last time I rode a horse was in 2002 in Mexico. Ryan had a great horse, his was older and obeyed. Mine...... it was young and ran me through the bushes a lot. She was really itchy so she kept walking through little evergreens and stuff. My legs are so scratched up. The guide kept getting mad at her and trying to discipline her, but she just wouldn't listen.
I love this photo. Another one Ryan took. The scrapbooker in me can't wait to blow it up to 8x12 and journal in the empty space to the right. haha. We crossed rivers - 3 of them each way. So 6 times across water. My horse, remember, she's a baby and doesn't listen, liked to play in the water so she kept dipping down and getting me all wet. My socks and shoes were soaked.
After that we went to the WAC Bennett Dam. We took a tour underground, and played with all the educational displays. It was interesting to see just how much more efficient LED and halogen bulbs are compared to conventional bulbs. I'm going to go on a hunt in my house and find all the old bulbs and change them out. Ryan also pedaled this excerise bike to light up bulbs. They had this thing that gave you little shocks so you could feel electricity..... anyhow, the tour goes underground and they show you how the water feeds in and the machines that they run through. We had to wear hard hats and visivests, but couldn't bring our camera.......


I had some sort of allergic reaction when we were out there. I'm never allergic to anything. But my nose ran the whole time and my eyes were all red and scratchy. They still are actually, so I'm going to go hang out on the couch.
