Thanks for Sharing your photos
Your girls had a blast! Once in a lifetime experience. My parents own the Gitksan Paintbrush Gift Shop in Kitwanga. It's funny you can tell a person about B.C. and they just look at you like you're making it up. But, until you actually go.. even your pictures look like they're not real. Only when you get to be there can you truly appreciate GOD"S Paradise. I had alot of pictures of a female Spirit bear and her 2 cubs in my parents front yard. Have you gotten to travel there anymore? I do every year in the summertime. Maybe I'll see you in the Gift shop! Camilla Nail - I live in K.C. Missouri
