Boating - Lake Okanagan to Vernon

The sky was beautiful that day

 Totally worth the price in my opinion :)

Someone got a new Toy (Honda CBR600)

Suddenly, my home life has centered around this motorcycle for the past week.  There are motorcycle parts everywhere, encroaching on all areas of our home and yard.  The bike has settled in nicely, making itself comfortable in the middle of what used to be our patio.  Oh, and I've heard more talk of motorcycles this week than I could ever imagine.  But you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world.  The amount of happiness and excitement it has brought to Luke (and he hasn't even ridden it yet!) is incomparable.  It makes me so happy to see one of his dreams come to life :)

Victoria Day Long Weekend - First Boating Excursion of the Summer!

Our boat finally made it out onto the water this past weekend. The weather man promised rain all day on Sunday, so we took our chances with Saturday. Luckily for us, it turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon.  We drove all the way to Kalamalka lake and launched at Kekuli Bay. Let me just say that the extra effort was well worth it. The boat launch at Kekuli Bay is designed wonderfully, there are two launches on either side of the dock, which makes everything much more efficient.  Oh, and there is a massive parking lot, filled with pull-through, double-length stalls, perfect for vehicles with a trailer attached.  

Boating is such a great activity, we enjoy it so very much for many different reasons.  Luke and I both feel that buying our boat was one of the best things we could have spent our money on.  As far as we are concerned, we have gotten much more than our money's worth already!
