This past weekend we had an adventure on the Thompson River with Ryan and Cheryl. We camped in Lytton and went white water rafting. The sun was out and the water was high and the wetsuits were keeping us warm in the freezing cold water. We got to go on a longer trip than normal but that was to compensate for us having to us the motor rafts through the rough rapids instead of the paddle rafts, which we had signed up for. So we did get to paddle for the first bit and hit one really good rapid. Then we had lunch and switched to the motor rafts. I guess the water was just too dangerous in some parts to only be using paddles. We hit some pretty sweet waves, the best being a double 10 foot wave that we were right in the front to experience. My fear of falling off did not happen so I was happy about that. We were a little numb by the end of the trip but it was well worth it. We had a good little campsite at Skihist Provincial Park and spent the evening roasting hot dogs and making fudgeeo smores (highly recommended). The next day we took it easy, made some delicious waffles and then stopped by the picnic area for some frisbee before heading home.
On our way home we got a brief glimpse of cell reception and received a text from Eric that Carmen had had her baby on Saturday morning. A baby girl, Danica Grace, weighing 8 pounds exactly. We were too excited to not see her right away so we stopped by the hospital Sunday evening after we got home and I got a few snuggles in with her, she is definitely a cutie!
Now we have one more week at home before heading to Calgary and Herbert. We plan on seeing some friends and hopefully Eric and Carmen again before we head out for two weeks. We're definitely looking forward to meeting this little guy....
...and of course seeing the rest of our family.
One more cute photo to end it off, Molly waiting to pounce on a fly.
