After a long afternoon at Harrison, what's a family to do for dinner??? Rocko's of course!!!!
Rockos is a greasy truck stop diner in Mission, BC that has long history with my family. My family used to hit up this place at least once a year, after camping in Harrison Mills. Since its open 24/7 it makes for great late night eats. So when Dan and I were dating, I took him here often. We'd laugh at
outrageous characters that we would meet (Richard Simmons lookalike?!) and enjoy our "usual," poutine and the Hi-Lite burger with a milkshake on the side.
When Dan and I got married, we had a bit of unexpected time between the ceremony and reception, so we hit up Rockos. Someone in our bridal party order fries while we spent a few minutes getting photos taken. When it came time to pay, the owner said that if we brought in a photo for them, the fries would be free. Not being one to pass up free, we took them up on the offer. A few months later, we brought in a photo. They've displayed it about the cash register ever since.

When Joel was about 3 months old, we brought him in for a visit. We took some pictures to commemorate the occasion. Again a free meal was exchanged for photos.
So it seemed fitting that when Micah was born, a trip to Rockos would be a big deal. So, at just 6 weeks old, Micah made his first of many trips to Rockos.
He seemed rather indifferent about the whole thing. Perhaps because he was tired and hot from the beach.
But he did make an attempt at sampling the poutine. He must be our kid!!
