Back from Holidays - August 13, 2008

We are back from a week's holiday's in BC.

For the long weekend we went camping at Eagle Bay on Arrow Lake just south of Revelstoke. What a beautiful place. I love it. The lake isn't real busy so it's perfect for tubing and waterskiing (not that I even attempted waterskiing). We had great weather and Emma was an angel! She went down for naps so easily and slept atleast 7 hrs each night. It was amazing!! We love our trailer! But the stupid batteries weren't fully charged and then they died on our second night there which caused our fridge to stop working! That sucked!
We left on Monday and went back to the sister-in-laws to recharge the batteries for the rest of our trip.
Tuesday we went to Enderby, BC. We wanted some campgrounds closer to Kelowna but they were fully booked. As it turned out this campground was awesome! We loved it. The Shushwap River ran through it and there was lots of people just floating on tubes down the river. Next year that is something we will do since it's hard with a 7 week old! The was the bad thing about camping on our own. We were really tied down. Sure we could go to the river but only 1 at a time could go in, so next time, we bring my little brother to babysit! LOL.

The weather was atlittle too hot... we definatly may think of getting a/c in the next trailer (in like 10 years!). It was about 35 degrees all week long! Emma slept at night in just a diaper and with a wet cloth on her head! It was funny. We did a couple little day trips in to Kelowna and Vernon for shopping and relaxing. Then it was home time again. Emma didn't do sooo well in the car but oh well. It should make the drive to Kansas at the end of the month interesting!!

Here's a few pics!

Darrell just relaxing out on Arrow Lake













Emma not really liking the bathing suit... the way she was screaming you'd think we put her in the cold water!!











Darrell taking Emma into the Shushwap River












I rarely beat Darrell at crib but this time I did and it was a good butt kicking!!












Relaxing in the warm Okanagan Lake... definatly a big change from the cold Arrow Lake!
