Otter Lake Camping

Its never a good sign when your family camping trip starts off with a rain downpour before you even leave the house! Oh well, off we go!

All the toys

Dogs riding inside because the motor cycle is in the back of the truck!

Thank goodness for a dry Tent Trailer! Lots of room for all of us!

Kiddos visiting the tent trailer... of course I had cookies ready to go!

On the way home... why was the best weather today??

Seahorse Cookies

I had to make the kids cookies for the upcoming camping trip... this is what good aunts do! Mom had given me a seahorse cookie cutter a while back so this was the perfect opportunity!

Brian discovered if you put the cookie on its side, it looked like a Dinosaur, so I made one like that!

Smith Creek Fire

The day the fire started, Brian and I met after work at the Walmart for groceries and got quite the view of the fire. From the time we went in the store till we left, the fire had dramatically increased in size.

Brian was riding his bike that day and was able to get some good video footage of the fire

The fire was on the other side of the hill from us (a canyon between)

We had an 'airshow' all night of water/fire retardant bombers... impressive how hard everyone worked.

The fire was contained after a few days and we were so lucky the wind was blowing away from us... the fire was as close as 2 km from our home.

Rainbow Layer Cake

I had seen this cake in the Kraft Kitchens Magazine and just had to make it... luckily I had an excuse, Brian's Dad and sister Lorissa were coming out for the weekend!

So delicious!
