It is always a great time when I am at my sisters house.. and every time I leave.. I plan a million more trips to her house for the summer.. winter.. fall.. maybe spring? I don’t know what I will do when my kiddies are in school full time :0 We always make a million plans.. and usually none of them come through.. even though we swear they will this time..
-drive in theater
-davidson orchard to pick apples
-paint rocks with the kiddies
ok.. so one of them happened! We went back to our Sweet Valley High/Clueless days when we dreamed of owning a jeep and cruising around in it free as birds.. definitely children free.. and looking really hot! well.. the door less jeep we did.. children free we did.. looking really hot.. well that was a hard one.. severe hay fever in the okanagan and a trip to the local dairy queen was anything but pretty… my face was swollen.. I couldn’t breathe.. and I ate a whole Peanut Buster Parfait to myself.. (hello lactose intolerant)..but at least we tried..
We swearevery visit that we are going to the drive in theater.. and after a day of chasing around three kiddies.. the thought of being up until 2am never matches to a good nights sleep.. We had visions of picking apples from the trees.. coming home and making a yummy apple crisp.. but had to put that on our “next time I am here” list..
We did however.. make it to the beach! we always do make it here.. I always love seeing Olive near the water.. on the sand.. chilin like a villian.. I believe little kiddies are meant to be by the water.. peaceful.. calm.. warm.. and knocks them out for their afternoon nap like nothing else!
drinkin bubbas.. and learning a couple new words. “Dayton” and “Heidi” were said many a times.. It is so great to see the cousins playing together.. It breaks my heart that they wont ever go to school together.. and will only see each other probably 12 times a year.. but the times that we are together.. always ROCK!
snack time
Olive loving blueberries!!
nothing beats beach time in the Okanagan
fear and loathing
Olive was a rockstar on the drive up! We finally tried out and discovered the car DVD player.. and it saved the day.. she laughed.. and talked.. and ate nuggets.. don’t tell dad.. she rocked the 6.5 hour drive! we were two ladies on the run!!
The drive home however.. that was a different story.. we had already gone through 2 of the 3 bottles of milk by kamloops.. there was crying an hour into the drive.. the one movie we had expired.. we hit rainy downpours.. and we ended up having to do a Mission stopover to visit the grandparents due to a high pitched scream that wanted out of the car.. this trip however.. was a 8.5 hour trip.. not fun… but worth the last week of fun we did have..
We finished the Indian summer nights off with ice cream.. back yard fun.. and a little bit of hammock loungin..
and this my friends.. is why I am building a “mini” back yard..
Once home.. Olive discovered a new little friend in the mirror.. and it was the cutest thing ever!
and now.. time to unwind my little munchkin who napped twice.. is jacked up on milk.. and enjoyed 5 days of full time mamma!!
