I haven’t been on-line much, because I’ve been a traveling fiend!
Last weekend, I went to the Great Blue Heron Nature Sanctuary - boy, that is an amazing place. If you are ever in Chilliwack, check it out - it’s astounding how many of those magnificent birds are in one place. this picture doesn’t do it justice, but…
I also went white-water rafting for the first time! The first question you will probably ask is… was it cold? ~YES! But it was really fun. Here you can see me inflating a kayak… and then our group ready to go on the river. The girl who had the water-proof camera hasn’t given me a copy of her pics yet, but I’ll post some of the actual rafting/kayaking when she sends them. Super fun - I think next time I will take Jrock and we’ll go in the kayaks down the river…
And THEN, I’ve been, for the last week, ferrying around 21 students. Our Rotary club organized an Adventure in Tourism program for students from across Canada, and we’ve been showing them all the tourism attractions… more pics to follow, but in the meanwhile, from our hike on the first day (following a morning at the Okanagan Grand.)Â
Taking pictures of deer en route…
Beautiful weather! but it hailed the next day.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I’m one of the two organizors… an group chaperone! Plus Jrock and I have 2 of the girls staying with us for the 5 days as well.

Wow Nicky, you’ve been busy! Was that the same hike that you and your hubby did a couple of weeks ago? What river did you do the white water rafting on? Fun!

Oh! I have always wanted to go white water rafting - it looks scary yet fun all at the same time!

Courtney - it is the same hike.. or a shorter portion thereof! We wanted to scout it out before I lead a couple of groups there these past two weeks…. Amazing how fast the snow melts and the birds come out…
