Revelstoke

The day school end for me, we packed up the car for our summer trip to Revelstoke. It's always fun to go up to stay for a whole week. It's crazy to see how much the kids have grown since the last year we were there. We had a great time with lots of crafts, dinners, swimming, beach time, and mini hikes. Since Blogspot has made it so much easier to load pictures, I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Happy Canada Day!

Kaes with Smokey the Bear at the Canada Day parade.

Maddy and Oma waiting for the parade.

After a quick trip to see Begbie Falls, we sat on the beach of the Columbia Rive to have a snack.

Look at that face!! I think he likes the yogurt tube.

Going for a ride in Oma and Opa's garden.

Maddy was in crafting heaven. She spent SO MUCH time by herself in Oma's craft room.

She even let Oma make a mask of her face. She did really well and did not 'freak' out.

A trip to Revelstoke is not complete with out a weiner/marshmellow roast.

This is the neighbourhood dog. Ethan just LOVES her. Hearing her whine when she first saw us and we know the feeling is mutual. 

We feed her all kinds of food and then send her home!

On the ferry to go to the Halcyon Hot Springs. An awesome 'rainy day' activity.

 

Enjoying lunch before the hot springs.

A canoe ride with Opa and Oma in Williansom Lake.

Dancing in the street at the nightly music festival.

The Brown Johns came to stay over while on their road trip. Here are Lily, Maddy and Nora enjoying the music.

Bocci in the backyard

This was the first time Ethan's eaten chips 'straight from the bag'.

 He just parked himself in front and not even the wadingpool/playground could lure him away.

He was one HAPPY boy!

Family time at the park.

Thanks mom and dad for a great week! We love you!!
