Mother, i'm impressed,you will be wanting an iphone next although i don't think there is an app for canal barging yet x

Spectacular photos, love the m ules!Andrew, it was a joke, she hated looking like a tourist when she and Dad used to go to London! They couldnt even get a map out in public- they had to go down a side street!! Cant believe I am sending you a mesage via Amys Blog!!!

Hey lil sis, wish i was in vegas! quite a place isn't it?

you have to go up the stratosphere and have a go on the fairground rides at the top!

Mother, i think the rucksacks might give them away!.

take care in LV. Dont look like toursts or travellers!!

Hi Mark ans Amy
had a look at your blog today for the first time, it looks as though you are having a great time. It was good to see you in Vancouver
, it was a shame that we did not have time to do more together. As I am writing this there is a note from Lucy to my left, it seems that Thomas prefers low-loaders to Bears that would be Grouse Mountain.
now that I know where to find you i shall keep updated with your blog.
Have fun in the rest of the USA, see you in November.

Jane X

Pleased that you have found time to update your blogs! You are certainlymaking the most of your time, we are so envious!!! Hope you both are keeping well. Miss you lots.xxxxxxx

Sorry! Finally got time to sit down and read all the blogs and see the pics! There are some spectacular photos, I am so envious. I keep viewing them as a slideshow so haven't been able to comment on individual pics. So glad you are having a fabulous time. Thomas has enjoyed the slideshow too, esp pictures of the fish and animals. He also spotted a yellow low-loader (behind a bear I think) and was very impressed! Ella will prob get chance to look tomorrow, at her friends tonight for a sleep over. Miss you lots! xxx

Somehow managed to see your blog before receiving text!! Jane must be on her way home now. Where did you meet her? Will you manage to see Aunty B.? Have viewed your latest photos, spectacular! Has Mark been on a horse before? Bet you wish you were staying in Canada for longer. xx
