Day 2 of our road trip, camping, and mountain biking adventure at Ravenwood Campground in Athol, Idaho, USA. 🚐🏕️🚵‍♀️
Making unforgettable memories, one trail, one campfire, and one adventure at a time. Grateful for these moments with family and excited for the journey ahead! ❤️✨

Happy Canada Day, Canada! 🇨🇦❤️

Today, as we celebrate this beautiful country, my heart is filled with so much gratitude.

Two years ago, our lives changed forever. We almost lost our precious daughter. Those were the darkest days of our lives, filled with fear, tears, and countless prayers. There were moments when we didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but God never left our side.

Looking back now, I know that God had a purpose for every trial we faced. He surrounded us with incredible doctors, nurses, specialists, and people who cared for our daughter with compassion and dedication. Because of them, and because of Canada's healthcare system, our daughter was given the chance to keep fighting. There is no price we could ever put on that gift.

Every smile, every laugh, every milestone she reaches today is a reminder of God's grace and mercy. We will never take those moments for granted.

Living in Canada has blessed our family in more ways than we could have imagined. This country became a place where our daughter received the care she desperately needed, where our family found hope in our hardest season, and where we continue to experience kindness, opportunities, and so many blessings.

Today, we celebrate more than Canada Day—we celebrate life, second chances, and God's faithfulness. We are forever thankful to Canada, to every healthcare worker who cared for our daughter, and above all, to God, who carried us through the storm.

Happy Canada Day! May God continue to bless Canada and everyone who calls this amazing country home. We will always be grateful. ❤️🇨🇦

Ang unang araw ng aming camping and adventure trip!

“Mahabang vacation na naman ang natapos…
Yung saya nag-iwan ng memories, pero yung alarm clock bumalik agad. 😅⏰”

Part two video: Sa wakas, nagawa na ang sasakyan namin at makakauwi na rin kami. 🙏❤️
Maraming maraming salamat kina Peter at Wendy sa pag-accommodate sa amin, sa pagpapahintulot na maipark namin ang aming RV trailer, at sa pagbibigay ng mga pangangailangan namin habang naghihintay.

For Peter, maraming salamat dahil gumawa ka ng paraan para ma-scan at malaman kung ano ang problema ng sasakyan namin.

For Shannon, ang may-ari ng Jaffrey Store, maraming salamat sa pagpapakilala sa amin kina Peter at Wendy at sa pagpapahintulot na maipark namin ang aming armada sa harap ng inyong store.

For Devo Miranda at B**g ng MK Car Clinic, maraming salamat sa inyong mga tawag, paggabay, at pag-assist sa troubleshooting steps.

Kung hindi dahil sa inyong lahat, malamang mas matatagalan pa kami bago makauwi mula sa lugar kung saan kami na-stranded. Sobrang nagpapasalamat kami sa inyong kabutihan, oras, at tulong.
God bless you all! 🙏❤️
