Long Weekend laughs


We just returned from a weekend in Osoyoos, the desert of BC! Not so much this weekend. The weather was not so great, I think they saw more rain there this weekend then they do all year. But somehow I still managed to get a sun burn? Go figure! We went to Ryan's parents place at Paradise Park, with them, Ry's brother and wife Marc and Nat. Ryan's parents just purchased a boat so this was the christening of "sudden debt" in the water.

The boys despite the weather found time for a tube ride...and yes Ryan wore those bob the builder goggles the entire time:) It was so choppy we thought a couple times that they might bounce out. But thank goodness they didn't it would of been sooooo cold.

Abby loved her freedom andany moments of confinment sent her into a rebellion. She has had better weekends. Her sleeping habits were hmm well non existent. She had her own agenda and that was to roam the park freely, chase ducks and ride in the boat. Anything else just annoyed her!

We squeaked in a couple games. Settlers which I really should of one I just needed one more brick. And cities and knights....funny I can't remember who won that one. I must be in denial about it.

Our ride home was the most comical more because what else can you do but laugh when you are moving that slow! The first obstacle was a brown cow! Traffic came to a hault as people avoided the large cow.

The kids were entertained as they watched Jimmy neutron....you can see by abby's face it was pretty intense. The other obstacles along the way were plain old traffic so it made for a longer trip. Normally it is about 4 hours it took us just over 5. But we are home safe and sound.

NB: The "love" thing was a joke... an on-purpose joke... seriously, can you edit your own comments?

Don't forget we did a good Samaritan act too, stopping in the pouring rain in the middle of nowhere to help someone change a flat tire.
