Summer Getaway to Vernon and Kelowna

In June we headed up to Vernon to hang out with Kent’s best man Joe and his wife, Sherry. Weather was gorgeous and hot and we had a fantastic time! So much fun…

The water at Okanagan Lake seriously looks like a Caribbean ocean (not as warm but still)

Some of us were having a little too much fun450452     453 461

Is it warm enough? Yup! Time for a dip…462 464 468


After our dip, we hiked. I “hung the baby bump dangerously close to the precipice.” My mom does not like this photo very much. 477 484 485

 

At least I didn’t take the baby cliff jumping like these guys down below!

Drying out at the top. And look what we found already carved into the bench! (No, we are not vandalizers.)

Back at the house, Kent was up to his usual antics with Joe. Can anyone explain what’s behind the fascination with the tea cozy?500 504

And we ended off with another swim at Kal Beach. Who doesn’t love Vernon in the summer?518

Next we headed to Kent’s parents’ in Kelowna. Here is a shot of their beautiful backyard and the lake behind. Enjoying breakfast…523 524
