Road Trip Aug 16

Our hosts suggested a day on Okanagan Lake, and we agreed it'd be great for such a hot day!

 We started off with wakeboarding while the water was calm. It gets pretty rough later in the day because of all the motorboat traffic!

 And because it was such a nice day we'd jump in the water when switching up who we were towing.

 What lovely water to jump into!

 Swimming lessons seem to have given some confidence to the kids!

 I took a turn wakeboarding too. Had a bad landing the second try though, and had quite the stiff neck for days after!! Shoulda remembered the "how to fall" directions in time...as they were given to me clearly. :o

 We stopped at the beach for lunch and a visit with an Aunt of mine. She seemed reluctant to be photographed, so I will omit from including her. We enjoyed catching up with her, 'cause it had been years!!

 Then some of us took turns tubing.

 And a very few of us tried cliff jumping.

 And we headed back home so R could get to work in time.

 We all sat on one side of the boat to make the wake big enough for her.

 And there she goes!

 My Auntie brought dessert which we enjoyed with her at dinner time. Yum! And the cousins bonded between bites. Asher often remarked on how noisy his younger cousins were. He surveyed us later on whether or not we found whining or crying as the most annoying.

 More cousin time...Sierra sharing some videos with her little cousins. I remember spending time with her when she was Evelyn's age. I'm feeling old now!

 And downstairs in the den is the rest of the crowd chilling after a busy day on the lake!
