You completely forgot to mention that the ferry is free. ;-) I like the fact that you get the worm's-eye views without running over the camera or forgetting to stop and pick it up. Not sure I could do that at my age. 🙂
I must say, that I really do ALWAYS enjoy the 'road trips', driving thru those BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS ...lovely, amazing & breathtaking footage, for sure👍☺️. It's also such a JOY watching your interaction with ...and having conversations with Lil Brooklyn!👧👨. LUV the excitement when your Mom & Lil Brooklyn see each other ...that's ADORABLE!🤗💖. AND let's not forget to mention the absolutely FREE inland ferry!?😳😆😂🤭🤣, heheheee!
Just beautiful in so many ways. Matthew, spend as much time with your parents as you and Brooklyn can. I am 61, I have a 25 yr old daughter and she has a 7 yr old son. Both of my parents are gone. My daughter doesn't remember her granddaddy she only saw him twice and she was 18 months the last time. She was raised around her grandmother and I am so thankful for that. Things have a way of tackling us from behind. When your mom lit up seeing Brooklyn, no one can take that from Brooklyn. Your a very good dad, Matthew. Some are not. Enjoy all of it!!! Stay safe and I will see y'all in the next one. Penny, just gorgeous girl!!!
Matt, even if you did nothing but upload videos of drives between Calgary and New Denver, I'd watch and like every single one of them. I never get tired of seeing your drive-videos in this beautiful area. Cheers from Vancouver Island, eh :)
I can't help but smile about all the beautiful memories you are creating with your little girl. She is going to have wonderful stories to tell when she gets older. Wishing you a great and blessed New Year for 2024.😊
Again great 2 c u with the family Love the little one -as I told u before my grand daughter just turned 2 (ahhhhhhhhh) no not terrible just active. Just saw Ambers xmas was so nice . I am happy u both have families to experience the festive season with Yes I know it is past new years eve but all the best in the new year "Keep on Cooglin"
The video of the drive through the mountains was beautiful! The view as you drove down to the ferry terminal (did I mention that it is FREE?) was breathtaking! Happy New Year to your family!
Love this. I use to leave town at 2 or 3 am to beat traffic when I drove out to visit my daughter at university residence. The drive was 8 hours of driving, excluding 2 quick stops for gas. It felt good to roll into her town before noon. While tired I then had the rest of the day to pick up groceries and other things for the visit. and check into the motel. Enjoy your time with your daughter it passes too quickly.
Matthew, thank you for filming that gorgeous scenic drive through the snow covered mountains this ole great grammie from Florida loved every curve & every grade. Love ya! & have a productive, healthy prosperous new year !
Beautiful mountains! Love traveling with you watching all the beauty you see. You are an awesome daddy! Enjoy your time with your family. Happy New Year from Texas🎉🎊🎉🎊❤️
I love watching your interactions with Brooklyn. You speak to her not at her. You encourage her to make choices and explain things to her in a way she understands. I love how her vocabulary is growing too.
Love your visits with your family and sweet Brooklyn is so adorable. Grace must be much happier after that bath. You look so happy and peace there in BC. Enjoy your visit.
Gorgeous scenery. Down here in Quartzsite, they call the things they have here mountains.... I've been to the Alberta/BC Rockies.... These are hills... Rofl. Thank you Matthew for taking us on all of your adventures
@@LifeWithBillSiff I like white noise, just not ticking. I stayed with my sister a year ago and slept on the couch. They had not one, not two, but three ticking clocks that I could hear. Needless to say, I didn't sleep that night. 🥴😭 Now give me rain, or a fan and I'm golden. 👍
That is a magical drive. Doesn’t matter the season. I don’t blame you for not moving. You wouldn’t get to make the trip that often and it’s very special. Did you notice your daughter is picking up on your strange and unusual hand gestures?? Lol I love it. I’m a retired sign language interpreter. Watching hands is my life and you two are too cute. Thanks for the trip. Enjoy your family. And have a blessed new year. ❤
I had to do a double take when I saw the time in Grace when you were getting ready to hook up at the hotel 🫨😂 It was lucky that you had Lucky 😂 to be able to make a safe decision to stop and get some much needed rest 😊 Snow really makes everything look so magical ❄️ Thank goodness you made the trip safely, and I just loved when you pulled up to you mum & dads place, Brooklyn’s reaction, her wittle fingers getting excited, and when your mum came out! Cherish these memories and moments, they’re so special ❤ Have a fantastic weekend 🎉
Getting ready for some major snow here in BC. Hope u r sticking around for a bit, Matthew. This way, you don't have to drive the highways in the in Kootz.
Got a snicker at the Lunny and Tunnies, I have a jewelry box drawer full that I've hung on to for 15 yrs!! Got them from the Canadian customers as a tip when I lived in North Dakota! Always figured I would go to the "Peace Gardens" and use them there, but that's now a future trip to look forward to!!!
I figured it was to wash Grace. :-) You like that area - it being home when growing up for sure. You folks and friends. I know your daughter loves seeing her grandparents. Y'all have fun. A nice place. For sure. .
I have been on that COMPLETELY FREE INLAND FERRY many times, and it's always a good time as it means we get to spend some time in the selkirk mountains.
You are an awesome father to Brooklyn, and she is a tiny little angel! I hope you make sure to ingrain into her at this impressionable age to have manners at all times (even with dad and other family, not just strangers). The please, thank yous, etc. will serve her well in a world where few parents nowadays teach their children these fundamental musts. I know my parents definitely pounded it into my head!
Hi, so glad you safely got to your parents. Glad you stopped for a nap..good call..but that is who you are. The drive was just gorgeous the views , spectacular especially with that sunrise. Glad you took us along on the " completely free ferry.".. was glad it was completely free hihihi. Just as you said it one more time my husband said you go a kick out of saying it. Brooklyn is an A-1 class traveler. Enjoy your time with your parents. Live your quiet place.😘 Regards from Québec Canada ❤️
BC and Alberta are truly spectacular! Minus all the nonsense that comes with these two provinces. Safe travels to the three of you. Weather will change things up especially in BC during the next week or two. You’ve got a new subscriber. Enjoying the content.
Fun video, so glad you got to spend time with your daughter & your family. Down in Galveston, we have a free Ferry also, the Bolivar Ferry. It takes you across the shipping channel. If you time it right, you can see dolphins following along or swimming in the Bay. Yip it is Free, Free, Free too. 😆🤣
My daughter would sleep like that (14+ hours) and be somewhat out of sorts (like she was fighting something) when she was gearing up for a big growth spert. You never know. Although, ya...it's kinda virus season too. She reminds me so much of my little girl....who is now 27. I've commented this about a million times but it just warms my heart so much that I can't say it enough. Your Slocan lake is my Buntzen lake (both BC).
I killed myself laughing when you said… are you using a pen as lip stick??? And B said … how do I look? … Had me think of my children when they were young… children are so precious.. your daughter is the star… love her giggles and sound of her little voice…
WOW thanks for mentioning the route from Calgary to New Denver... 😮 satellite view of route 1w to 23s is quite a trek for the winter ❄️ Google got some 800 photos of that Upper Arrow Lake Ferry and your video makes it look even better Have fun at the parents house and looking forward if you're going to showcase that battery powered heater/ac unit in a future video😊
The great (not actually not great) thing is that you’ll still get asked if the ferry is free 😂 Brooklyns voice is as cute as always. Always good to hear her chatting and having some of her energy back 😊 Another beautiful video 🗻👨👧🐈
It's so beautiful where u go, luv the mountains. It's sad what's actually happening in Canada politically like everywhere . I wish I could have seen Canada before this all started.
Technically part of the highway......the ferry at Fort Langley was free . They replaced it with a toll bridge. Now the tolls have been removed from the Golden ears and Port Mann bridges.
Great video. Kids do give us parents some laughs and scares don't they. One of them being my only daughter decided to colour her lips, she had 2 pens at the side of her, one being permanent marker the other washable both same colour. To cut a long story short she had used the washable thank the lord xx
I'm glad the flashlight is coming in handy! I seem to remember the accident in Golden that I was just ahead of. Glad Brooklyn is feeling better. Watching her get excited when she saw your Mum was awesome. Her little hands and feet bouncing. Put a smile on my tired old face. Always remember to say hello and goodbye to the lake. Your timing for the ferry was perfect! Are there usually two ferries or one? If they're down to one ferry for the winter, that may be why the schedule is a bit "off". Enjoy your time in B.C. and try not to panic too much when you see the price of things and then have to ADD the tax. Yikes!
Hey, how much was that ferry? 😜 An enjoyable video with some gorgeous scenery! BC is so pretty, I loved it when I've visited. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy new year, Matthew.
Ok ..I have to say it... How much does the inland ferry cost? Lol! I love the relationship you have with Brooklyn! It was wonderful seeing her get excited when she saw her Grandma!❤❤❤
Great vlog! My wife and I are down with a nasty cold. So we’re watching your vlog today (Saturday). Playing catch up. Stay warm, Stay Safe. Hope you have fun in BC! With your fam. By the way, how much was that “free” ferry again?😂
I love the relationship you have with your daughter. It’s beautiful to see. You are a great dad.
You get to pull over on the side of the road and take a nap with your little girl just because 😊😊 your life is incredible in so many ways Matthew!
The look on your mother’s face every time she sees Brooklyn is pure love. They are both so lucky to have that special bond. Happy New Year
You completely forgot to mention that the ferry is free. ;-)

Oh those baby fingies reaching for Grandma🥰. So cute. Has someone been asking you about the ferry prices?🤷🏼♀️🤣😂.
Watching Brooklyn's excitement when she saw her grandma was heartwarming.
The video of the drive through the mountains was beautiful! The view as you drove down to the ferry terminal (did I mention that it is FREE?) was breathtaking! Happy New Year to your family!

Matthew, thank you for filming that gorgeous scenic drive through the snow covered mountains this ole great grammie from Florida loved every curve & every grade. Love ya! & have a productive, healthy prosperous new year !
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, whether from a person, place or thing. Enjoy the time at your old stomping grounds.
I love the sign…”Shift into winter use winter tires” you got that nailed.
Look at the snow and mountains, ain't it pretty!♥️
The road winding down through the snow covered mountains and trees is quite the majestic sight.
The ferry is a priceless mode of transportation 4 sure 🖤🖤
Beautiful mountains! Love traveling with you watching all the beauty you see. You are an awesome daddy! Enjoy your time with your family. Happy New Year from Texas🎉🎊🎉🎊❤️
Sitting and crying when your daughter and your mom reunited.
My granddaughter lives over 500 miles away and I never get enough time with her!
Beautiful Matthew, as usual. Seeing you at peace is a good thing. Just breathe in that mountain air. Always enjoy the drive, thank you again.
I love watching your interactions with Brooklyn. You speak to her not at her. You encourage her to make choices and explain things to her in a way she understands. I love how her vocabulary is growing too.
Love your visits with your family and sweet Brooklyn is so adorable. Grace must be much happier after that bath. You look so happy and peace there in BC. Enjoy your visit.
Safe travels. The scenery is beautiful.
🌴...aaahhh! The sacrifices we make for our children💚 You never fail me; such a beautiful drive. Thank you for taking me a long🩵
Boy, it's satisfying watching all that dirt run off. Glad you got to your destination ok.
Scenery is gorgeous !!
Thanks Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Thank you sharing the drive. It reminded me of an Ansel Adam's gallery showing. Love his work. Be blessed.
Thank you Matthew..my favorite spot when you go home..what a view!😊😊😊😊😊
You're lucky Matt I can't even go back to where I grew up from. Oakland , used to be a nice. place .
The joy that is the little mountain town so peaceful and friendly!🥰
Two Christmas’!
Little Brooklyn is so lucky!
You make me want to ask...😂😂 Matthew, is the fairy free?
Just teasing!! Your daughter is SO adorable and the relationship you two have is amazing!
@@Pammellam it was meant as joke because he said it so many times...hence the laughing emojis and the "Just teasing!!" right afterwards.
So beautiful to see you pickup Brooklyn.🎉🎉
Happy 2024 Matthew, Brooklyn and penny… you and your family🎉🎉🎉
Gorgeous scenery. Down here in Quartzsite, they call the things they have here mountains.... I've been to the Alberta/BC Rockies.... These are hills... Rofl. Thank you Matthew for taking us on all of your adventures
Man, that clicking from the diesel heater would make me sleep like a baby lol
😂 it would drive me insane 😅
@@judyeuller7602 lol ya Judy some ppl dont like white noise . I sure do
@@LifeWithBillSiff I like white noise, just not ticking. I stayed with my sister a year ago and slept on the couch. They had not one, not two, but three ticking clocks that I could hear. Needless to say, I didn't sleep that night. 🥴😭 Now give me rain, or a fan and I'm golden. 👍
Imagine living by Slocan lake with a view of the mountains, now that would be heaven!🥰😍😇
That is a magical drive. Doesn’t matter the season. I don’t blame you for not moving. You wouldn’t get to make the trip that often and it’s very special.
Did you notice your daughter is picking up on your strange and unusual hand gestures?? Lol

Amazing vlog as ever Matthew, Canada is such a beautiful country. Take care young man and much love to you and yours as ever ❤

Those dollarstore bags are the handiest, and I love that you can recycle them when they rip. Take care!
Your gift made it to Canada! Not much longer until you get it😊
Your daughter is so cute and you’re a great dad!

100% free inland ferry is burned into my memory now 😅
Just to triple check “the ferry is free” 😂😂

Second half ....good as well...nice visit and view of lake/river
WOW thanks for mentioning the route from Calgary to New Denver... 😮 satellite view of route 1w to 23s is quite a trek for the winter ❄️

Thank Gawd u took a nap! I could NEVER drive on 2 hours of sleep! ESP on the drive you’re doing!
I love to hear ,that baby laugh😊😅
It's so beautiful where u go, luv the mountains. It's sad what's actually happening in Canada politically like everywhere . I wish I could have seen Canada before this all started.
The beauty of the scenery hasn’t changed 🌲
Not a bad price seeing you have 2 cars on the ferry. ❤😂
thanks..
Technically part of the highway......the ferry at Fort Langley was free . They replaced it with a toll bridge. Now the tolls have been removed from the Golden ears and Port Mann bridges.
Well done, loved it 🙏🥰🇨🇦

Nothing better than a perfect fit 🤪…..btw, I don’t believe I heard what the fare was for that ferry.😂😂😂
🍀it’s Roberta you’er Aunt now, the times have changed ! LOL ☘️
Thank You for blocking your
little girl protecting her from child predators. I wish I had that when I was little.
At 15:02 Just WOW Cheers : )
That shot where you get out of your jeep to see the amazing view I was expecting you to start peeing in the lake lol
So i see you had to get a Dixxon to match Grace.
Great vlog! My wife and I are down with a nasty cold. So we’re watching your vlog today (Saturday). Playing catch up. Stay warm, Stay Safe. Hope you have fun in BC! With your fam. By the way, how much was that “free” ferry again?😂
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Wait !!! Was that $5.09 for 8oz of Philadelphia Cream Cheese ???!!! 😮😮😮
