Hotel in Kamloops

After leaving Bellingham we headed north to Kamloops BC to spend the night at a hotel before heading up to Meadow Lake Fishing Camp for a 3 night stay.  The hotel stop was a nice way to break up the trip and hang out with our family (and play at a cool pool).

Swimming time (we took advantage of the pool, Sunday afternoon and Monday morning)

The kids loved dipping in the hot tub

Trying to time their jump in together

Monday before heading to the Fish Camp, our family of 5 headed to a fun riverside park in Kamloops to burn off some energy.  Jaydon of course wanted to play baseball and the girls wanted to swing.

Walking along the waterfront.

Kate tries the slide

This little slide has served us mighty well the past 5 years and hopefully has a few more good years in it.  Kate tried it out for the first time and enjoyed it!

Smiling getting ready

Woah, those tights help go fast

Let's do it again!

 

Inside slide

We brought in the climbing slide and basketball hoop for the kids to play with, they have having a fabulous time and it is the first thing Lucy heads toward every morning.  Pretty fun, now if only we had a big enough house to have a playroom where this could be left  out and not take up our entire living room!

Learning from big brother

Climbing up - it took a few attempts but she now gets up like a pro.

First playing basketball!  She has her priorities :)

She was quite pleased with playing peek-a-boo through the hole on the side.  

It took awhile to figure out how to sit down at the start of the slide, now she has figured that out but she will wait patiently for a parent to come over and hold a hand while she slides down.

Wee!  She loves it!  And Jaydon still gets a kick out of it.  

*Side note with Jaydon, he decided while we were having a play date and kids were everywhere to take his explorer truck up the ladder and go down the slide on his truck.  Thankfully no kids were close by when he came down and he actually did ride the truck successfully down.  I am sure he now thinks that was amazing and I just hope he doesn't do it again.
