  Description

  Welcome to our family. There is 6 of us in the house. My boyfriend plus my 4 children aged 9-16. Though the children live with their dad half the time. I am a business owner that works 9-5 5 days a week. My children are involved in extra curriculars such as snowboarding, youth groups, car races. With our busy lives, we are needing help with outdoor farm maintenance.
  
  We try to keep busy with outdoor activities in the summer such as hiking, swimming, quadding, travelling and exploring new areas. On days where the kids are in school, there is opportunity to have time by yourself to see more of the country side. If possible, having a drivers license would be a good thing.
  
  There is vehicles to drive around if you want to explore more. We live relatively close to our small community but rural enough to have space and privacy. We do spend a lot of time with friends and family so would like to bring you into the fold of a small welcoming community.

  Accommodation

  We have a holiday trailer that is fully equipment with kitchen, A/C, and bathroom, providing a little more space and privacy than in the house. If we go camping, you can either come along or stay in the house. All meals will be with the family. If you want a quiet meal to yourself (because ours are loud and rowdy), the trailer is available for you.

  What else ...

  There is a lake close by that is great for swimming and relaxing, as well as many other lakes in the area and many hiking trails. We live in a small rural town, where there is a pool, parks, a sturgeon fish hatchery and various other things. Neighboring towns are also fun to explore. We are about an hour away from a bigger city where there is also many things to see and do.
