Here I sit on the very warm deck of our cabin in Veranda Beach - an amazing resort in the small town of Orville (the US side of Osoyoos). We have been here 4 days and already booked for 2 weeks next year! It is so beautiful. We are right on the lake, the cabin is perfect ( and big enough to hold 5 adults and 5 kids!) We only have 3 days left which is kind of sad. We have been boating, tubing, swimming, building sand castles, lounging by the pool, eating, reading, laughing, playing games and having an amazing time! I do not want to go back to reality in 3 days.
I am sitting out in the warm air listening to a frog while the kids are sleeping peacefully because they are absolutely warn out from swimming and playing outside in the 35 C heat all day! Josh is sleeping on the window seat in the living room as he is absolutely wiped out too! I feel like I am on another planet. I am so relaxed and just enjoying all this family time!
I have some amazing pictures to share but I forgot my cord to connect the camera to my laptop o it will have to wait til I get back home. Til then - good night
Daily life as a mom to 4 wonderful little girls! Some days are easier than others ~ but really my life is wonderful!

Victoria - it was an adventure!
I do not know where the time goes!! The past couple of weeks have been super busy and have flown by! We have been busy going here there and everywhere! Nana was here for a week back in July - while she was out Josh and I had a little get away to vancouver for 2 nights which was so great! We stayed downtown and went out for breakfast, lunch and dinner and slept in!!!! It was so nice, we had beautiful weather and ate at some pretty yummy restaurants too! Ok - we kind of missed the kids.
Then me and my mom and Emily headed to Victoria for 2 days with all the kids. Probably won't do that again any time soon without Josh. It just isn't the same. The kids don't listen as well to other people! They were pretty good though and the weather was great there as well! The kids loved the ferry too! We went to visit my great aunt - who is turning 84!! She unfortunately was not feeling well so we could not take her out for lunch but we managed to get in a visit! Then we took the kids to the beach - it was fun!
the girls had a great time playing in the sand and wading in the water. Leah did not want to sit still for any pictures so we bribed her with Jelly Belly's ;)

This picture of Avri was taken right as we were leaving the beach - a seagull flew over head and pooped right on her arm! We had some pretty good laughs about it - she was a good sport and let us take the picture!
