Bridge Lake

The second part of our little holiday was at a last minute family reunion on the Brandsma side up at Bridge Lake (40 min. east of 100 Mile House). We ended up with 33 of the possible 42 members of my family there so it was quite fun. There were a few new additions that family members hadn't met yet so it was nice to finally meet them! The resort was very nice and the weather also cooperated with us. We didn't have too much planned but just all kinda hung out for a few days!

Our little cabin on the lake!

Auntie Rosalie organized a "Princess Party for Sydney, Kyla and Kendra. They all had tiaras, made bead necklaces, got sprinkles in their hair, had their cheeks painted and got a new umbrella. They all loved it!

The 3 little princesses!!!!!

Whistler holiday!

We are now back home again after spending a week on holidays. It was so nice to just get away for a few days and hang out as a family. We spent the first 3 days of our holiday in Whistler. We had great weather which is always nice. We spent some time just going for walks, we took the Gondola up the mountain for an afternoon and also spent some time in the pool at our hotel. We spent the last part of our week at Bridge Lake but I'll save that for a different day!

Wow - you need to take a lot of stuff when travelling with 2 kids!!

Standing on top of Whistler Mountain. What a view!

Owen loved riding in the backpack!

Kendra thought the big bear was the coolest thing!

More of my kids!

Here are just a few more shots of my kids. We've had some nice weather finally so have been outside and to the park. Owen loves it in the swing at the park!

He also loves sitting in the "Flinstone car". At first Kendra was a littel miffed that Owen got to sit in "her" car but then she discovered that it was quite fun to push him around in it so all was right in her world once again!

Rock garden

Today we finally finished off the last phase of our lawn. A few months ago we had curbing done on the front and back lawn. Finally today we added the black lava rock to finish it off. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of weeding that needs to be done! It was quite a big job but we are happy with how it looks!
