Peas and Carrots

Elyse was helping me make dinner. I had defrosted some frozen peas and carrots. I looked over and she was shoveling them in to her mouth by the spoonful.
I tried to give her a bowl of them later on, but she wouldn't eat them! 

I guess Peas and Carrots have to be in a huge bowl with a big spoon in order for Elyse to eat them

BP Camp - Water Sports

We did a lot of water skiing, wake boarding and tubing while at the lake. Kootenay lake is never busy and during our whole week, the lake was calm. Perfect for getting out on the boat, and Scott's mom & dad stayed out with us the whole week, so we always had a third person to spot for us and hold onto Elyse.

Scott catching some air

Scott cutting hard, with glass calm water

My first tubing experience - Scott was a nice driver and didn't dump me

I can still wake board!!

See still going....

The view from the campfire

Just enjoying the water

Floating! The lake was so calm and quite after the Labour Day long weekend was over

"Cheese"

Proudly showing off her 'horse'

One of the groups that was out at the camp previously built this drift wood house for kids. Lots of fun for Miss E to play in!
Good thing we had hot water to give her a before bed bath. This is Elyse enjoying an Oreo cookie smore, while she is covered in dirt!

Even Elyse got to do some floating

Elyse loves to throw rocks into the water and Bailey kept thinking she was throwing something for him to fetch

They are best friends at the lake
Even more floating!

Miss E showing off her surfing skills

Big smiles
Elyse loved to stand on the rocks, there is a pathway of large flat rocks to step on as you enter the water, so you don't hurt your bare feet on all the small stones

Beer Tubing

We invented a new game during our week at the lake, Beer Tubing!

The rules are simple; each rider has 2 beers, if they can finish them before Scott dumps them, they win

Leanne says nobody won, but Scott says we were all winners that day!

(L-R) Brian -Scott's Brother, Jim - Scott's Brother-in-law and Brad - a good friend


Where's Brad??
Oh, there he is...
