Summer Vacation

July 27 - August 6, 2008

The Beaverlodge Golf Tournament and Family Reunion took place in Sylvan Lake, Alberta this year. On the way there we spent one night at Canoe with Grandma and Grandpa Scott and then a second night at Ghost Reservoir.

The first day of golfing was very cold and windy.

The next day, the weather was much improved and the non-golfers went to the beach while the golfers enjoyed the sun.

Our next vacation stop was Mannville to visit cousins Jenna and Mia and their Grandma Laura.

We came back via the David Thompson Highway and the Icefields Parkway. We stayed at a roadside campsite near Nordegg before embarking on a mini hotsprings tour. We stayed at Canyon Hotsprings and Nakusp Hotsprings. Nakusp is much nicer than Canyon.

After our hotsprings visits we stopped in Westbank at the Waterslides Campground. Too bad there's no waterslide! But, we did have a swim in Okanagan Lake.

And that was the end of our vacation, as we had to get home to see how Zachary was doing.
