Fairmont Vacation...

This past weekend we took a little vacation to Fairmont, B.C. It was a fun little get away and was much needed. We went with our good friends the Wolfe's. They have 2 girls about the same age as our boys and they have grown up together, and get along GREAT! The 5 hour drive there went by quite fast and the kids travelled well thanks to a few movies and treats. We arrived in enough time to get a little swim in before bed time. The complex we stayed in was brand new and SO nice! We couldn't have ordered better weather, in fact I got a sun burn! We spent 1 day at the outdoor pool with the water slide. But unfortunately the water slide and the spray part weren't working. We were just happy to be able to go in the pool and the kids didn't mind not being able to go down the slide. This picture of Tyson totally cracks me up! He sure is a little fish. He was jumping in the pool like crazy and was trying to convince me to let him take his life jacket off. I didn't give in though. The life jacket just adds that little bit of extra security and that way I didn't have to worry about him. He still had a great time!

The next day we decided to take a little hike up to the natural hot springs. It was a really nice hike, but a little vertical for a girl who is 34 1/2 weeks pregnant. LOL! I just took it slow and put one foot in front of the other and I did just fine. I made me realize that I am totally out of shape though. Looks like I will need to start jogging again once the baby comes. The path we took was along side a stream and it was really beautiful. The kids had fun exploring and running up ahead of us. Tyson was a little apprehensive about crossing the stream, but he made it. 3/4 of the way up to the hot springs you come across a waterfall. It is the drain off of the natural springs pools and the water is warm! We weren't really pre-pared to go in the water but that didn't stop some of our gang. Carson went in the buff and Tyson went in his underwear. They had a BLAST! Tyler and I didn't get in...we aren't that adventurous I guess. And the thought of having to walk back to the van in sticky wet jeans didn't really appeal to me. If I would have had my swimming suit on I would have gone in for sure. It was fun to see all the kids having so much fun. I hope that they will remember doing this for a long time.

  Another highlight of the trip was when Ryan decided to take a polar bear dip in the river. Of course he had to convince Tyler to do it with him, and in turn the kids wanted to go in as well. Check out this video, it is SO Funny!

As you can see it was a GREAT weekend!
