We went over to dinner at K&S’s house in Westbank (aka West Kelowna!) with friends J&C and their daughter Tigger last weekend. I was a little concerned about the weather, but K luckily managed to convince me the weather would hold up – and boy, it sure did. We went for a lovely walk on Mt. Boucherie. The Okanagan sunflowers were out in full bloom – just lovely.

There is this trail up there with random stuff hidden all over it… the girls had fun discovering. Then we took out the trusty GPS and went to find a cache. Our friends were a little surprised went we jumped into the trees and went bush-wacking up the hill, but heh, those are the joys of geocaaching. Everybody was game, though, and even little Tigger walked quite a bit. (Our girls were troupers stomping through the trees until the walk back… I keep reminding them that they are in training for hiking with Auntie Ena this summer, and they are taking it very seriously. ) We made quite a posse, with six adults, three little girls and three little dogs. A side note – our awesome Maggie. She just ran and ran, but stayed close the whole time off leash. Sometimes I forget what an awesome dog she is…

Then we went to K&S’s and had a great meal and played games until the kids started to sack out. Good times!

We learned a new parenting trick – you know the kids are going to sleep in the car on the way home… we never thought of bringing the PJs with us and putting them on before we leave – thanks J&C! Have to sdo that next time.
