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.

Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day by giving Dad the morning to do work and then we went for a picnic at the park.  Everyone had a great time (minus the family at the park who got into a big fight and the police were called - I doubt they had a good time).

 Picnic time

Jaydon played catch most of the time - obsessed :-)

 Checking out the ducks

 Dad loves playing this game with the swingers, they almost kick him and he flies back, they laugh hysterically. Fun times all around.

Orthodox Easter

We had a gorgeous day to celebrate Orthodox Easter with the Angleos family.  Playing in the yard, eating delicious food, enjoying an egg hunt and relaxing with friends made for a lovely day.

Sarah was Kate's helper for the egg hunt

She figured out the eggs opened and held candy, not as much hunting after that as merely trying to eat everything she found.

Alex spent time playing with Kate. She loves him!

Vacay to B'ham, part 4

Breakfast at a local favorite, one more park stop, and a quick drink with our cousin wrapped up our weekend.  It was great and crazy and a little scary all at the same time.  We ended up dealing with waaay too much sickness between the two families but have all survived.

More swings!

Xander was a total trooper dealing with pneumonia and a nasty double ear infection.

Craig got a little Kate time

Jaydon woke up in the morning with a low fever not feeling great, he and I stayed home from the breakfast but he was feeling better so we went to the park to get some fresh air before leaving town.  He started not feeling well and needed some snuggles, he was also quite chilled.  About an hour after this pic was taken I found out his temp had gone up to 106, so we headed to an urgent care clinic where he was given some more meds.  Quite scary to see such a high number!

After the camels and some good lunch we headed to a couple of parks and then out to a lovely dinner and our favorite stop, Mallards!

My kids love swings

A pretty little waterfall

Jeremy had the camera, I guess he found an elephant along with the bunny

Craig giving a spin for a very long time

Xander doing the slide, it is so cool to see him doing these activities!!

Sophie loved helping Kate

Mmmmmm, ice cream, and plenty of dairy free options!
