Vacation 2014

After we had such a lovely vacation in Invermere last summer - we had to go back again this year!  I was worried that we wouldn't be able to top last year's adventure...but we did.  In fact this year's vacation was outstanding. There were lots of friends out there to visit with (Turner's, Lewis's, StranMcCann's!)

....soooo much to do....and the weather was the hottest we have ever experienced (daily averages were 32 to 34+ degrees every single day we were there!). 

We came home a wee worn out but nice and brown and sun-sated.

Playing at the park....

Beach visit

Mini golf

Supper for 14!  Hard to fit us all in the shot...

Boating....

Nigel's first time driving a boat; he got his boating license this year

Panorama

Taking the gondola

My first time rock climbing. I found the climbing easy, but I struggled to let go and leap off....

Neela is a go-getter

All the adults took a turn...and reached the top

Chairlift to the top of the mountain

It was smoking hot up here....easily 35+ degrees this day.  Thankfully we found a cool stream to play in on the mountain.

At the beach, early morning - watching the men wakeboard

Proof I was there. ;)

Lots and lots of pool time!

Neela got extremely proficient with her jumping - a goal of hers.

More park time...

Boardwalk

 Cute kids!  Hiding our geocache

The place where we stayed

Last look at the water.....

So I went all gusto about half way up and then realized I hadn't tried repelling.  It was a lot harder than I thought to just let go and trust the rope.
