Camping Trip

Camping Trip   July 23, 2013




 

 

 
 
 

On Friday July 12 we started our Holiday to BC.  After Ben got home from work we drove to Golden BC and got a hotel. It took us awhile to find one that had a vacancy but was still clean and comfy!

 
 
   The next morning we dove to The Enchanted Castle near Revelstoke BC. The girls loved it and there was a lot of interesting things to see for Ben and I also. So many cute little fairy tale characters to see. We took a lot of pictures.








 
   After we spent a few hours at the Enchanted Castle we drove for about two hours until we got to Vernon. The girls an I ( mostly me) we getting tired of driving and very hungry so we stopped for Lupper. ( Note for next years trip, pack more food for the drive!) Then we found a campground called Dutch's Campground in Vernon right beside a creek. The beach was only a 10 minute walk from the campground through town and the lake was warm and clean with a sandy beach.
The girls were so excited that there were ducks living in the creek flowing right behind our tent! We camped there Saturday and Sunday night and Vernon Canadian Reformed Church was only a ten minute drive from the campground so that worked out well.

Pickin Peas

Pickin Peas   July 11 2013


Snack time


Our favorite chicken, Mia
 
 
   Our garden is crazy this year. We palnted a row of snow peas for the first time this year and it is one of the girls favorite snacks. They love to stand in the garden snacking on peas. This is also the first year our strawberry plants are actually growing strawberrys so that is exciting.

From Sea Otter To Salamander

From Sea Otter to Salamander    June 7, 2013





On to level two


   From July 1st to July 5th Saidey had swimming lessons every day for half an hour. Her class was quite big with 8 kids total but I think she learns better doing something every day rather than spread out over 7 weeks. We are excited she passed level one and next summer she will be a Salamander in level two.
