From the Kootenays to the Cariboo and back again.

This last week I would consider to have been my own personal BC adventure...

For the weekend, we drove 10 hours to Kootenay Lake in order to meet up with Alberta friends from CBC and to enjoy a chilly weekend of camping together. What fun was had...what memories shared...and what cold nights! We were thankful for sunshine during the day, warm sleeping bags, and the fire before bed (when we finally got it started...wet wood is the worst!).

As usual, Mike pretended it was hotter than it was, and stuck to the shorts/flip-flops outfit...

Amy and I attempted to skip rocks (she is much better than I), and then ended up playing big rock, little rock...the game of the weekend.

This was the beautiful view...I love BC. Our camping spot was a little different - just on the edge of the lake with no trees or shade from the view of the RVs all around us...but we still loved the view!

And Kaetrianne, all of 9-months, joined us for her first camping adventure - she did great.

After returning to Abbotsford Sunday night, I turned around and left Monday morning for Quesnel to visit Kevin and Christa! The ride north was much different from the ride east earlier in the week...but equally as beautiful. If I hadn't been by myself, I definitely would have more pics from that drive.

It was GREAT to see Christa, spend some quality time with her, and to play with Wyatt - and see how much he has grown!After all that travelling, it was marvellous to come home, visit with the team that just came back from Costa Rica, and with my mom who was here to visit! It was great to see Charlee and Bodhi again - I don't know how I'm going to survive 3 months without seeing them!!

I leave for Costa Rica in one week!
