Canada- Revisited...

Sorry about the week delay in getting these last three days up. We got busy with the "real world". Here's a summery of the last Three Days in The Okanagan (DRINK!)

DAY 7- THE WINERIES!

So they tell us that The Okanagan (DRINK!) is like the Napa Valley of BC....hmmm well, it's not quite that, but it was still good....they actually might one up us on the view, no not actually, they really do!

We went to three wineries, each progressively better. When we got to the last (Mission Hills- where most of these views are from) Sara looked at Aaron and I an said "I am glad we did them in the order we did, otherwise this would have SUCKED!" Yep- She was right. After words Aaron, Wilf, Matt and I hit up a local brewery called Freddies. I was the DD for these gentlemen, regardless the four of us had a nice time and I got carded...guess I look younger than 19! WHAT!??

DAY 8- Our last full day in The Okanagan (DRINK!)

This morning Aaron and I started watch The Sentinel. Once Sara got her sorry butt out of bed, we played Makeup! LOL! I brought some of my Mary Kay samples up there so that I could do a "demo" with her and write off the trip (woo hoo!). We had such a fun time just going through the motions, and it was good practice for me! I loaded her up with goodies too! I think she was pretty stoked.

After lunch we took off to the Value Village looking for Aaron Moose shirt- and we were successful! Actually 5 shirts deep successful! I will post a picture of that later. Sara scored on some awesome kids books, and I got away scott free...

Thant night we dropped Bells off at the grandparents and took a drive up the MTN. and a nice hike along some summer laden (ok it was still cold 11c) ski slopes! What a Blast! I think we captured our Christmas card picture there too!

DAY 9- The Ending...

All good things must come to an end. Today we had a great breakfast with Crew at The Polson Diner (we like to call it the Poisin Diner) puzt around a bit and then headed for the Airport....this time we did NOT run through the Vancouver airport; We sat for 3.5 hours! What a stinkin long layover! We had some beer, bought some time on a Internet Kiosk (which still has 39 minutes left on it, if we ever get back there...and I remember the password) and puzt around some more, and some more, and then finally hit the tarmak and got our butts home....whew. We walked in the door at 11:00 pm- and crashed into bed!

Definitely a great trip. Thanks Sara and Matt and Isabella for housing us and showing us a good time in The Okanagan (now DRINK!) Heh hhh!

Six days...WOW! and we still have more?????

We were having technical difficulties last night, sorry this is a little late.
Day six was a Rainy day...
...But we made the most of it.
Before the rain swept in Aaron and I had a chance to take the bikes out once again and go for a ride down to a little breakfast place we found on our first bike ride a couple days ago. We had a nice little breakfast and on our way back encountered the beginning of the rain storm. By the time we got home we were wet...not soaked, but just a little damp.
We waited out the storm and once it blew over a bit we grabbed Sara and the babe and ventured out to Davison Orchard, a local apple orchard that harvest's more than just apples.

From there we did some errands and then went home for a little R&R.
We had a great pasta dinner and then dropped the little one off at grandma and grandpa's so we could all go on a double date (that ended with us sitting half way across the theatre from each other) to see The Hangover. Deffinitely a funny movie, but definitely not one to waster your $10 on...wait to see it on video...errr is that word out dated??? DVD??....no wait, VOD (Video on Demand...i.e. netflix via XBox righ?).
So we ended the night with cookies....mmmmm cOOOKIES!!!!!

Day Two in Canada!

Day two found us all on a boat..."I'm on a booooaaattt!" We tried (and by we I mean Aaron and Matt and Clayton) a new Canadian water sport called Wake Surfing. Basically the idea is to take the toe rope out enough to get some speed (and if you are good you can just launch off the back of the boat) and then throw it back in and surf the wake behind the boat...you can technically surf it for quite a while. All the guys got up on the first try (...well Matt and Clayton are seasoned riders, but for the sake of the statement...). We had such a blast and a nice boat ride on the Okanagan (gosh hope I spelled that right...).

Turns out Matt is not only a seasoned wake surfer, but also a seasoned mucian (three bands and counting; one with a three time tour of all the Candian provinces). We set out in the evening to watch him play at...Church! haha! Really good service and little Isabella was, of course, the center of attention cooing like a little terridactile! haha! Pretty funny.
All in all a really great day two...
