Who'd have thunk that a weeny unknown place in inner BC could be so gorgeous? We are in Tulameen which is population circa 34. The cottage Tess chose is perfect for their needs with a larrrrrge yard which allows endless running, jumping, cartwheels, shooting of capguns, hoola hoops, the dog next door, friends and grandparents. The sun is shining, the lake is 100 yards away, Grandad is having a snooze, the girls have started their knitting projects, books are being read by the score, food is yummy (what can beat Kraft Dinner on vacation?) and we embarked on an adventure this morning in the Provincial Campground across the road and crossed log bridges which were great challenges for the braver among us, considered swimming across the lake (Seb and Tess), rode swaying broken trees like horses and all agreed we should do it again tomorrow. The house/cottage has a large deck around two sides and the children have been thrilled as robins have built a nest in the rafters on the deck. We are watching babies with the largest mouths being fed by vigilant parents.
The Fab Four greeted us wonderfully (as did Alex and Daniel in Edmonton) and what grateful and blessed people Blake and I are. Below Tess and the gang swim across the lake. Charles took this picture and then joined them in the adventure.
