Canada Day Looong weekend

We were up in Westbank for the Canada long weekend with our friends Ray and Ginny and their children. We added a few days to our long weekend to make it even longer.

We arrived on Thursday, the kids ended up not napping that day which suited Aaron fine, but when there was a bit of down time Kyle conked out.

On Friday we were able to have a swim in the morning and went to a park with the kids.

Lexi had an interesting moment as she ran down the slide instead of sliding down, gave her parents a bit of a scare...crazy kid!

With Kyle's lack of fear, running into the creek nearby seemed like a good idea, so Shelby helped him out.

In the afternoon there was a torrential downpour. Around 8pm the clouds started to break and the sun started to come out again. Ray and I headed up to Mission Hill to take some pictures.

Saturday the sun came out and it stayed out for the rest of our trip getting warmer each day. Swimming in the pool was very common and also was a relief from the heat.

On the last day Ray and I took Madi and Aaron to the lake which they really enjoyed.
Some people were coming in with their kayaks to the shore, so they let the kids sit in the kayaks for some photo ops.
