Here we are during our family adventure on Canada Day. We found this neat place in Keremeos which is just outside of Penticton about a 30 min drive. It was absolutely gorgeous. We were deeper in the valley than we are normally and the orchards and the way the farm was set up it was really pretty. It was a super hot day and walking around the farm would have probably ended me up giving birth so the owners hooked up an apple cart to a golf cart and let us drive around the farm. That was super cool of them, however I was so worried for the first 15 minutes of driving that I was either going to hit something or tip my family out of the apple cart. The petting zoo was a great idea for the kids. The place just opened this summer and for 5 bucks a person and a golf cart and freezies afterwards it was so worth putting up with the heat for 2 hours. The kids were given a bag of bread to feed all the animals and I'm not sure who had more fun doing it...Justin or the kids. He made better friends with the llama's and donkey and Emily was hooked on pretty much everything from the bunnies to the ponies and Carter well he just kept asking me how the motor was doing on the golf cart and trying to sneak in to drive it.
After we left the petting zoo we headed straight for home to lay down for awhile. Then we packed up again and headed back to Okanagan Lake for a dip in the water. I finally bought a bathingsuit so I was able to sit in the water a little....oh did it feel nice. Then after a few hours at the beach we headed back for home for another rest until it was time for fireworks.
The fireworks out here are something else. They are pretty amazing. We sat down by the lakes edge and it looked like the fireworks were going to fall right on us half the time...and then crack..bang...boom it was soooooooooooo LOUD. It sounded like there was a war going on around us because of the echo of the fireworks through the mountain valley. Carter finally got too scared so Justin had to take him back to the car and Emily she was just in aww until a big crack and went off and she went flying backwards on her tooshy. When the fireworks were finished it wasn't a zoo to get out of parking or the downtown area either which was nice. People just sat all over the town to watch them...and in all reality we could have just walked to the corner by our house where there is a ravine and watched them from there but we decided to get right upfront and personal.... GOOD TIMES.
Anyways it's breakfast around here so I better go munch.
