We are a family living in the interior of British Columbia about 45 min drive west of Kamloops. Our children currently range in age from 15 to 19 years old. Mom (Becky) is a school bus driver and works part time. Dad (Rod) works away but is usually home on weekends. We have 4 horses. Our children are active in hockey and rodeo. We live in the country far away from stores. We have 4 dogs, 2 goats, 3 outdoor cats and sometimes a couple cows and a garden.
