We All Survived!!!!!!!

Yesterday, I took on the daunting task of watching 6 kids for the day and amazingly enough it went so well! Josh and Hannah, and Hope and Micah came over and we filled the day with bike riding, a trip to the park, some webkinz, a princess DVD, and more! I even got my front blinds cleaned!!! It went so well, I just might do it again, but maybe that would be tempting fate! Really, they're a bunch of great kids and we had lots of fun! (really, I didn't sedate them!)

Crab and Corn Feast

On Saturday, August 18th, we all gathered to enjoy the bounty from the sea that Mike and Joe brought back from their trip on the Rosemary T. Everyone ate ridiculous amounts of crab and corn and thoroughly enjoyed every morsel of it!

Gone Fishing!

We did some family fishing off the sinking dock at Squaw Lake at Crooked River Provincial Park! The kids had tons of fun and Jim thought Maren's Barbie fishing rod was awesome! Maren was simply thrilled to have caught 4 worms!!! No fish today but I don't think anyone minded!

Like Bumps On A Log

On our trip to Bear Lake, we walked in to Squaw Lake and discovered it was frog season! The place was alive with frogs, like the plaque of frogs in Egypt! We just couldn't help getting close and peering at them! Be careful where you step!

Don't Let Shuswap Die!

We had an informal, last minute wiener roast in our backyard on Monday night. Just can't seem to escape the camping atmosphere!! Of course, we finished the evening with smores and Hannah and Josh slept over at our place! FUN! FUN! FUN!

Holiday in the Shuswap 2007

All the makings for a fabulous holiday came together for 10 fun filled days: family and friends, great weather, the beach, waterslides, bumper boats, mini golf, and A LOT of yummy food!! We spent 10 nights at the Shuswap Provincial campground at Scotch Creek, BC from July 27th to August 6th with the Leboes. The Breedvelds joined us for 4 nights too and we had lots of fun with them! The campground is beautiful and I don't think we will ever tired of spending time there! Here is just a small sampling of pictures of our time there!
