Newton's Third Law of Motion: To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
If we worked hard in July, then we shall set the goal to play hard in August.
In no particular order - here is a very detailed glimpse of our visit to Mabel Lake this summer. We caught sight of a Bald Eagle.
What get's dirty must get clean.
She makes friends in a matter of minutes.
A little man-made horse power displayed below.
Of course, no wakeboarding story is complete without some great wipe-outs. (See below)
Entertainment at it's finest for these little people. And the lake; Breath-taking.
Logan gearing up to make a go of it.
These are a great amount of pictures of cliff jumping/diving. Click on the picture to get a close-up.
Then we made our own style of jumping. Who needs a cliff when you've got a wakeboard tower.
This little man is likely on his (KoolAid juice pouch) phone with Child Protective Services. These kids are outta control.
He *may* be having a good time.
Sent out to sea.
He's a keeper.
This year our skiers navigated themselves over the very deep wake.
I guess summer days don't provide the opportunity for a nap in the comfort of your own bed.
Little Cheerleader.
The Life of the Party: Quinten
Sunset Boating. This is a perfect representation of that.
The beach. All to ourselves.
Fishing Fun.
Now Playing: Despicable Me 2
Our Trip Out. Chase is *obsessed* with keys.
What's a road trip without a technical difficulty. It's boring. That's what it is. Our hitch pin was removed (without our knowledge) and almost at the summit of Rogers Pass, the trailer broke free.
I belong here. Forever and always. I have finally thawed out.
Logan will not be getting the keys to drive my car. He was VERY nervous for his Grampa to see. In this picture he was running at me to attempt to keep me from taking the picture.
Chase told me this is a "Quad"
The boys went golfing so the Littles went hiking.
The world would be a better place if everyone exited the tent like this.
A little more leaping.
Another fun adventure day to Kelowna. The beach, the water spray park and Costco.
Now that's what we call horse power.
This is the funniest thing. We came to this exact beach last year and Chase did this exact same thing. He laid his head to rest. What's strange is this day he had already had a really great nap. I guess the beach just brings it out in him.
I don't see the motivation.
And then we were back to Mabel for some wonderful glassy water.
And frogs in our towels.
Best buds.
Second best buds. Chase would not leave his shoes on even when walking on our hike. I finally gave up and just let him go for it. Why not go more rustic.
We like the kind of hikes where we stop at the store for a treat. I discovered that Sadie is VERY decisive with what she wants. Her decision was made in the first 10 seconds of entering the store. I presented other shelves that she may have missed. She was unwavering.
Imagine that, he has keys.
Will gets the credit for photographing his Mom here. Could the water be more wonderful?
Ryan tried out Surfing.
Logan. A.k.a. Monkey.
Will decided to try wakeboarding this year.
And then he was a pro.
And for the grand finale: Chase.
The most excellent and entertaining little boy we could ever ask for.
We found Choke Cherries in BC!
On our last day at Mabel we filled a cooler with Choke Cherries. I had never canned them before so I called around for advice and then got to work.
When we returned home I madly worked on my list of things to do (and the additional item of canning a cooler full of Choke Cherries). I washed all our camping clothing and promptly packed it right back up again. So we could take off on another adventure. More on that later.
I think we yielded 15 jars.
