Canucks Training Camp

Today was the last day of Canucks training camp in Penticton.  So I took my Dad and Sam.  We had a good time watching them do some warmups and then they played a game.
We were a bit surprised with the bodychecks being placed on fellow teammates!  But I guess they are trying to get on the roster and in a top line.
Speaking of top lines, we did not get to see:
- Roberto Luongo
- Daniel & Henrik Sedin
- Alex Burrows
- Ryan Kessler
- Alexander Edler
- Kevin Bieksa
- Manny Malholtra
And possibly others...
They actually were in the rink behind where we were sitting practicing.
It was closed door though and we could only view through the windows overlooking the ice surface.

One Day at Gardom Lake

With a week filled with trouble (Saffron's breakdown and problem with people on the swings - affecting her into hysteria & hospital & Dr.), Jen thought it would be a good idea to get away for at least a night at Gardom Lake Bible Camp.  Well it was quite good, but still...
The first night we didn't get there until later (closer to 9pm), than because of the excitement the kids were fooling around (I was tired and ready for sleep).

I didn't sleep too well (not used to the thin mattress as well as some not so pleasant dreams), than Sam woke up and he was making some noise with his legs trying to wake up the other two, I told him not to wake them up and I went to the bathroom.  Jen said that Sam climbed up and down the ladder about 6 times and banged his legs to wake up the other two!  So they were tired. 
We had a good breakfast outside.

Then we went for a walk to the beach and hopped into the canoe for a ride.

When we got back we went for a hike, had a fire and attempted to have a nap.

Steamy Sunrise

This was the reward for not sleeping the whole night because I was freezing! We were so cold (sleeping in the back of the van), that at 5:30 we turned on the van and warmed up. Then went out with Karl and enjoyed the sunrise and a 2 hour walk/hike.

Sam Jumping Over Creek

Its time to catch up on the summer...give you some video & photos of what we did over the summer.
I was surprised that Sam could jump this far, he had already made it (I think twice), so when I finally got the camera out...he made it, but...
