Staying at Fort Camping in Ft. Langley, BC

We had plans to stay in Surrey, BC at a campground, but later found it was a place we didn't want to be. So I started looking for another place close to Vancouver and found Fort Camping on Brae Island. Thanks to someone cancelling, we were able to get a reservation. This was a big weekend as Santa Clause was coming for a visit:))  There are over a 100 sites and everyone was full with lots of kids. It was a great weekend for them and the weather was perfect. The town of Fort Langley, population of a little under 3,000, is just over the bridge and is an easy walk. There is plenty to see and lots of places to eat. We found Wendels Books and Eatery, where you can sit outside and enjoy the views, the best for food and the very best for deserts:)) On Saturday we drove around the town on our way to Walnut Grove for groceries, the IGA in Ft. Langley burnt down last year, and found a celbration going on for the 100th year of Parks Canada. There was a firing of a cannon and shooting of firearms to help with the celebration, but only a few people to witness the 100th year festivities. Ft. Langley is along the Fraser river and is town that is about an hour away from Vancouver.  It seems that from Fort Langley it is one suburb after another all the way to Vancouver. We will be going into Vancouver on Tuesday for a visit and then crossing to border for our visit to Mt. Rainer.
