Summer Days...

I had every intention of blogging more often than I have in the last month. We have had such a wonderful summer, filled with so much fun and HOT weather :) We have so many picture that it would take far to long to post then each individually so I opted for collages instead.
(Click on any collage to expand it and have a closer look if you like.)

Our adventures included...

A week long vacation at a cabin on Cultus Lake with Ron's family.

The August long weekend camping with my family in Hope.

The rest of these summer days have been spent enjoying time together with our family.

Penticton Weekend

I am writing this post outside on my front porch watching the Canada Day fireworks light up the sky, as the air finally cools down to a comfortable temperature. Don't you just love wireless Internet and pyrotechnics?
Anyway. We are back and we had a marvelous time! What a great time to spend with family and relax in the HOT sun. The average daily temperature was 36 degrees, but it did not seem as hot as it would in the Lower Mainland.
The drive up started around 4pm on Friday. We loaded up the van and the truck and off we went. After a few stops for some food and stretching we arrived in Penticton around 9pm. We all agreed that it was nice to already be there on Friday night instead of trying to drive on Saturday morning. We had so much fun together and I think I will let the pictures mainly speak for themselves. Simply put: When is the next long weekend? I can hardly wait!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. So today we packed up our vehicles again and made the long trip home again.
I hope you all enjoyed your long weekends as much as I did.

Loooong Weekend

We're off to Penticton for some fun in the sun with Ron's family, and we won't be back till Tuesday. That's right 5 glorious days of relaxing, eating, and swimming (well as much as I can while still looking after a very busy one year old). I can't wait to get there! Stay tuned for pictures next week. Have a wonderful long weekend everyone.
"To laugh often and much, to win
the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, or a garden patch... to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This
is to have succeeded!" - Emerson
