Kelowna Vacation, Part 1

first half of vacation is done already! here are a few highlights of our trip so far

On the first day when we were leaving Calgary, we found out that the highway by Golden was closed due to a rock slide ... so we had to reroute through Radium. In theory, that should have added 1 hour to our trip. In reality, it added 4 hours - traffic was INSANE! It took 3 hours to get the last 20k into Radium.


Our navigator is checking the route for us

come on cars, let's go! (here's a way to keep a 1yr old occupied when you are barely moving for 3 hours...)

Day 2 we stopped at the Enchanted Forest. Sam is hanging out with the 3rd little piggy - true engineer...he knew to stay out of the straw and wood houses and he hunkered down in the secure brick house!

Then we stopped at Dutchmens Dairy to see the cows and have some ice cream....Sam liked the cows until they tried to lick him!

his mother's son... ;)

A visit to Mission Hill Winery....see the sign on the left: "escorted guests only"

therefore, Sam being escorted out! :)

Day 3&4, we spent exploring parks in Kelowna. We went to Rotary Beach, Gyro Park, a little park at the Manteo, City Park downtown, the splash park downtown, and time at the pool!

Fun at the splash park in downtown Kelowna
