The Landing in spring

 There's nothing like a Ranger ride to feel like spring is here and summer is close!  This little girl doesn't remember much of this...but she sure enjoyed this trip up to the Landing!
 Bridal falls at it's more humble beginnings

 Three littles in the back now - all with big grins!
 Look, Mom!
 The valley complete with the sun setting and a hang glider


 It was a popular night for hang gliding and we enjoyed watching them!  Once my camera battery died, I was thankful to have my cell phone along!

We watched two land back on the landing, and two others take off


 And I got this cool silhouette of Chels as we were about to head down again :D

March camping

 We thoroughly enjoyed our own 'long-weekend' of camping during spring break.  We found a great place to stay near Merritt.  We walked over to Spius Creek fish hatchery and were given an impromptu tour by a man working there! 
How many fish do you think are in this tank?  Look like 45,000 to you?!?  These were Coldwater Creek baby salmon


This broken down 'car' was a thrill to sit in for a few pictures :)


 There is nothing better than nature for play time.  The forecast for home had been wet, so we were thankful to only have one shower during the weekend.

One bucket of sand can be highly entertaining
 Crafting time :)
 Peaceful and gorgeous views beside the Nicola River

 Trying to count the stars at night
 A walk/bike ride on part of the Kettle Valley Trail involved crossing this very cool bridge

 Our site from across the river

"Was that a good picture, Chelsie?"
 Giggles over dishes
 And a homemade t-ball stand
A great weekend of relaxing and enjoying life as a family!
Thanks for checking in :)
