Day 7 – Road Trip – Chena Hot Springs

Friday 26 July

Ross woke up and went to get the pool passes and to see when the room would be ready to go to.  The girl was lovely and said she had shifted bookings around so we could have the room first thing so he came back and got all the breakfast stuff and went and set it up in our room.  We woke the kids and told them we had found a nice place to eat breakfast, to grab their togs, and we will eat breakfast and go for a swim. As we were walking to the room, Danika thought that Ross had found a picnic table to eat breakfast at said she hoped that other people were not helping themselves to our breakfast thinking it was a buffet, all you can eat.  Ross unlocked the door and when they came in and saw our breakfast stuff on the table, they were so excited to see the room, and even more excited when they saw it had two rooms and two bathrooms! We had breakfast and then headed for a swim. Then indoor covered pool used to be the main outside pool. There were 2 indoor spa pools there. The sign said nobody under 18 could go in the outdoor pool which was the nicest one, so we went and asked and they allowed Josh in, may have helped that he towers above Ross now.  The outdoor pool was awesome, surrounded with Rocks with powerful jets as well. It had gravel on the bottom of the pool. We spent a couple of hours in the pool and then came back and had our standard lunch – marmite and chippie sandwiches, banana on bagels etc. Then Tayla and Chris updated the blog while Josh worked through his pilot book and Danika and Ross napped!

We then finished our movie and we went for a swim while Danika cooked dinner in the camper.  On our way back to the room, two moose walked across the road in front of us into a pond to have a drink.  Danika pursued them with the lens until the Moose made it clear that, it was enough and she retracted. After dinner, the double solitaire challenge was on and Tayla and Danika were leading right up and Josh wanted to give up but Mum doesn’t do that and they won in the last round!
