Off To The Beach ...

July 11, 2014

Mike and I decided we would venture down to Saunders Beach ...

to let the kids play and go swimming ...

and also for us to a check out Lake Koocanusa for Kokanee fishing ...

Craig was busy digging a hole to secure the umbrella pole ...

he did a great job ...

James & Ella were busy searching for unique little rocks ...

hidden under the water ... 

We were surprised to see our friend Sarah ... who lives in Fernie ...

having a wonderful visit ...

then grandpa found a crayfish ...

and called the kids over to have a look ...

Sarah also showed the kids ...

 how to pet them and put them to sleep ...

Grandpa took the boys on a hike around the lake ...

to see the painted turtles ... fish and other interesting things ...

it took them 2 hours to do the hike ... 

only because they stopped so often to check things out ...

Ella and I stayed and played on the beach ... and in the water ...

waiting for the guys to come back ...

One last swim with Grandpa ... Ella way out in the water ...

and Craig diving into the water off the dock ...

then after stopping in at the Jaffray Pub ... for pizza ...

we to the store down the road ...

to get an ice cream cone for dessert ... !!!

It was a wonderful day out at the park ... !!!
