Exploring behind our house....

Brian, Tag and I went exploring out in the Mountains right behind our house. We went about 25-30 km up gravel dirt roads and saw what there was to see. We found an area called Headwaters Lakes and wow was it amazing and SOOOOO quiet. All these little lakes all next to each other and these cool little cabins all around. There seemed to be a forestry campsite in the middle of it all... sure would be a cool place to camp. Here are some pictures I took along the way (I decided like like the old corrals... well, even though old looking, are still being used).

Checking out a trail to the cabins at Headwaters

You know I hate them, but it kind of reminded me of our old outhouse at the cabin! Wrong color, right moon!

Ok... this little ground hog is what cause Tag to have his first encounter with a cattle guard. Long story short, we are lucky Tag didn't break his legs...

Me and Tag's Adventure

Brian is off on an install so Tag and I decided to go have some fun of our own! We went down to the lake to play fetch in the water....

Then we drover around and found a Mountain to go for a hike on... wow was it steep and soooo hot out!

I am really sweaty! ugh!!!

I am hoping to take Brian on this trail soon, seems like a good one but its a workout!!

Our first out of town guests!

Dad and Jeanie came up this weekend to bring up a bed and freezer for our house and stayed the night. It was such a nice treat to have guests!! We had BBQ steak for dinner and the next morning I made the Sunday pancakes with strawberries, blue berries and whip cream. Dad, Jeanie and I headed off to the Sunday Market on the waterfront and then for a swim in the lake after! It was a fun visit!

Thanks again to Dad and Jeanie for all the stuff you brought for us! We are now set up for more guests!

I had to stop...

On my way to work today coming down the mountain from my house I had to pull over when I came around the corner and saw the morning sun trying to push the overcast sky at 6:15am. I am not religious... but what does that make you think of?

Escape for a hike

I decided I needed to escape from all the work I am doing right now between the 2 jobs, so when I got home from job number 1, I skipped job 2 and Brian and I drove up the hill for a hike.

Showing off his new pack

A mountain goat along the road, he was so big... I know the picture doesn't exactly show that, but he was pretty cool.

Looks like mini tumble weed to me...

A little target practice... 

A Special outing for Cali & Auntie Holly

My plan was to spend more time with the kids this summer, but, I ended up finding work in the interior faster than I thought.  I took Cali out for ice cream and the park so we could have some time together before I moved permanently to Peachland!

Friday the 13th...

It started out as a bad day... but I escaped all that and got to spend some special time at Lundbom with the family and all my nieces and nephews!!!

Hot Dog...

Tag discovered the fan... its been pretty hot up here and we are all doing our best to try and stay cool!

Walk at Rolley Lake

Brian, Tag and I went for a walk at Rolley Lake today after the birthday bbq at Dad's for Dad and Lilah's birthday (sorry! didnt take any pictures!!). I had never been to this lake before... the 2 hour hike was only an hour long... sometimes you have to wonder who times these things!! 

Who's the cutest puppy??

                       

Tag was feeling sad about Brian being away again so I let him sleep on the couch in our room... Think he likes it??

Picnic with Sophie

Sophie and I got to spend some Auntie and Niece time at the park... we blew bubbles, looked at birds and ate bugels. She is such a fun little girl!

Happy Mother's Day... Brunch at Dad's
