Camping in Salmon Arm, summer swimming

Summer is marching along as it always does! The kids have been enjoying the pool with friends and we've been enjoying it as a family. The weather hasn't been TOO hot, but warm enough to swim most days. Lynsey is taking in the volleyball open gyms at school AND beach volleyball just started this week as well - so far she is really enjoying it. Nathan started Sambica this week and he is loving all the water sports! Adam is just being Adam and enjoying his lazy days at home. Before we know it, school will be back!

This past weekend, we packed up the van with all our camping gear and headed north to Salmon Arm to meet Bobbi and Jer for a weekend of camping (cabin camping, but still camping). It was a fun weekend! We had great weather for all the swimming the kids did, and we enjoyed the visiting time with old friends. There were a lot of wasps at our campsite which was kind of a pain, and there was a fire ban which is always a bummer when you're camping, but we managed to make the most of it. Brian did have a mishap with bacon grease and ended up with burns on his leg and foot on Saturday night:-(. He got some cold water on it and we got some first aid gels and wraps to try and help it along but it was pretty painful for him. It's still painful for him but it is starting to heal, hopefully he's through the worst of it.

I got to see my good friend Kendra Saturday night! I went to her place and we had a great time catching up. There is nothing like childhood friends, so special to be able to see them! Sunday we packed up and headed home with no real drama. I did hear about a terrible plane crash that affected several families from our old church in Calgary, so devastating:-(. It's been on my mind all week, such a tragic loss of life. Sometimes life just makes no sense. May God bring peace to those families forever changed<3.
