Lunch on a lakefront patio.

When we all got back to the resort, our first destination was the lakefront pool. Grae, Kinslee, and I soaked up the sun and splashed in the water.

After McDonald’s, we were off to the pool! It was Grae’s first time in an indoor pool, and she loved it as much as we expected.

Tonight we went to Mike and Hayley’s house for a BBQ and get together with old friends. The evening was filled with catching up, playing munchkins, and delicious food. Hayley, Laura, Tonya and I graduated together 12 years ago, and here we are now with our beloved little ones.

This afternoon Grae sat in her highchair and polished off a handful of local Okanagan cherries. Yum!

Such a pretty little thing.

With Bradley down at the coast again, us girls had a busy day of running around and getting things done. Apparently it pooped Grae out, because despite the music, my singing, and a rice cake, she conked out on the way home. Notice the headband around her neck, rice cake crumbles all down her front, and her open mouth. Out like a light!

Mmmm… Juicy orange slices on a warm day. :)

Tonight Grae proudly sported a purple moustache (and goatee for that matter) after her snack…

This afternoon, we headed out for a quick trip to the park. Grae seems to have made peace with the grass, hey?

Today started out with brunch at Countrytyme and a visit to Davison Orchards with Steph and Micah…

In honour of the long weekend, we had a little backyard BBQ today. The day was filled with sunshine, friends, family, yummy food, and birthday cake.

Today we celebrated Gracen’s first ever Canada Day up at Davison Orchards.

When you live overseas and tell people that you’re from Canada, they say two things. First, that it is a beautiful country, and second, that it is COLD. We always explain that it is not hot like Kuwait, but that it’s not that cold. Well, boy oh boy, were we wrong. This morning we woke up and Grandma Charlotte and Grandpa Dave’s house was absolutely freezing. The kind of freezing that leaves your fingers numb and your nose running. The kind of cold that leaves your little one sporting winter gear in the house on July 1st. What can you do? Canada is cold.
