A week at the lake Aug 15 - 22

We got to spend a week at the lake again this summer. We rented the Girl Guide camp on Kootenay Lake, the same camp where we got married at. We didn't have too many friends or family come visit us while we were at the lake, but it was very relaxing just the three of us.

Elyse loved to play in the water

The cheapest toys yet... rocks!

Our boat, and all the calm water that we couldn't take advantage of for wake boarding due to a lack of a third person to hold Elyse and spot for us. We did got out on the water every time some one came for a visit.

We took a day to go for a hike. We got up really early on Tuesday morning to catch the ferry to the north side of the lake, after a 16 km drive on rough gravel road we made it to the parking lot at Kokanee Glacier Park.

Elyse loved the ferry ride!

We made it to Kokanee Lake, 4.5 Km and 2000 ft of vertical in only 2 hours! (FYI - this is where Michel Trudeau died, (youngest son of Pierre Trudeau) he was swept into the lake following an avalanche)

We don't have any fire bans around here, due to our fairly rainy summer, here is a nice shot of one of our camp fires.

The moon wasn't full while we were out at the lake, but every night it got bigger and brighter. I wish I had a tri-pod, but this shot turned out pretty good.

We had to leave the camp by noon on Sunday, which was a good thing as this is what happened Sunday afternoon. Rain! Rain! and more Rain!
