After 24 hours at home in mid-August to do laundry, restock the travel trailer, and water the garden, we headed out again. This time we picked up our two oldest grandgirls for a week of waterfall adventures in Wells Gray Provincial Park. It’s a long drive from where we live, but we had a full week, and the girls are excellent travelers and just plain fun to be with. We stopped beside this lovely little lake on our way north and again on our way south a few days later.

Valerie Comer is a USA Today bestselling author and a two-time Word Award winner who writes where food meets faith and fiction. She injects experience laced with humor into her green clean romances. Her life on a small farm in western Canada provides the seed for stories of contemporary inspirational romance. Like many of her characters, Valerie and her family grow much of their own food and are active in the local foods movement as well as their church. She only hopes her creations enjoy their happily-ever-afters as much as she does hers, shared with her husband, adult kids, and adorable granddaughters.
BC has so many beautiful places to explore. I only saw a few areas, Vancouver, Sunshine Coast, Pemberton and Whistler But I loved the area and the mountains.
BC is very big with a lot of biodiversity! We have a long coastline and plenty of mountains. We also have areas of true desert, vast plateaus, orchards, vineyards, grainfields, and more. You’ve seen some of my favorite places, Jenny!
The only thing that would make our part of BC better would be ocean proximity, but then there’d be too many people here as well. We didn’t get an ocean visit in 2020, and we really missed it. Hopefully in 2021!
Great pics, again, Valerie!! I bet the grands loved spending the week with y’all!! I just wish you’d posted a pic of one of the falls!
Great times spent with the kids!! Love the pics and excited to hear about the new Inspy podcast!!
Have a blessed Sunday ❤️
Hey, Trudy! Next week is all about some of the waterfalls :)
Elizabeth and Narelle have done most of the work so far on StoryChats, but we’re all looking forward to everything getting rolling :D
Thanks, Natalya! You, too.
So peaceful! ❤️ As a lover of quiet places, I would be tempted to find one of those lovely spots and never leave. ;)
Me, too! My heart just settles when I experience a peaceful little lake at dusk like that.
We’re going on a short trip next weekend to a lake we’ve never been to, Celebrating my youngest daughters birthday. We’ll have 8 adults, 6 grandkids and one grand dog. We’re all sharing a house. It should be fun!
Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures. I am so glad you were able to travel with your granddaughters. God bless you.
BC is truly beautiful. A number of years ago, our family of 6 (4 children) flew to Calgary and then we rented a van and did a driving tour through Alberta, BC and all the way through to Vancouver Island. What a truly beautiful trip! We now have a son and his family living on Vancouver Island and get to explore different areas each time we visit. Thanks for sharing your pictures and your story, Valerie. God bless you.
Have fun and stay safe!
I’m glad you enjoyed them :)
Our son and his wife lived in Victoria for six years while they attended UVic. I love having them (and their daughter) living next door, but I do miss the excuse to get out to the Island a few times a year!
Lovely.
Thank you :)
You sound like fun grandparents!
We try! :D
Can I be adopted by you Valerie? You guys have so much fun :-)
Happy Sunday everyone!
Aw, sure! I mean, the international border is a bit of a problem right now, but maybe later? ;)
How fun, you got to spend time with your granddaughters, grandchildren are always so much fun, I have 1 grandaughter and 2 grandsons and they are always so much fun, and never a dull moment when they come. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. Have a Great week and stay safe. God Bless you and your family.
Beautiful images as always, Valerie! Looking forward to the waterfalls next week. :D
Congratulations to this week’s winner!
Beautiful waterscape.
Thanks so much, Alicia!
See you then!
Thanks, Denise!
