Our good friends, Len and Shirley, invite us every year to spend a few days at their home at Shuswap Lake. We are always thrilled to go because we get to spend quality time with awesome friends, and we have tons of fun in and out of the lake. This year, we stayed from Friday to Tuesday, so we had three full days to relax and enjoy (less the two travel days). The weather has been quite hot this summer and the lake is quite comfortable to swim in. Len took us out on a boat ride and much to our surprise, Sophia agreed to go on the tube with me and Ed. Len pulled the tube slowly and gently, to not scare Sophia. We said it was like a bouncy castle on the water. Ed and I also took the Seadoo for a spin (yes, they have a lot of toys at the lake!) and visited the floating gas station in the middle of the lake. Sophia had a good time playing with Selena and Stephanie; they even built a clubhouse (no grown-ups allowed) in the game room, under the air hockey table. It was fun to just chill, hang out, and not feel rushed by meetings or appointments or daycare pick-up/drop-off for a few days. I definitely needed that break.
Thanks, Len and Shirley, for being so generous in sharing your home with us!
