On Saturday we packed up and headed to Tchesinkut Lake with the Costleys. We weren’t there very long but were still able to enjoy the cabin and the lake. We had a great dinner Saturday night and after much delay, got out on the boat to try and catch some trout. Yep, I said try.
A late afternoon view
While I was scrounging up a spare battery for the boat a few of the group tried their luck casting from the dock.
Toby loves the water. He spent a lot of time being a lab.
For all the mocking Jim gives me about photography I though it only fair to post this,
and this.
That’s a great lookin’ arm!
I think there is a law that states that any trip to the lake requires hot dogs to be eaten. We decided to play it safe.
Even though it took some effort, it was nice to get out on the boat.
Good times. Hopefully we can get out there again soon.
Good thing it only lasted a few minutes. Tonight we got some pretty big hail along with a lot of rain. The video is from the start, when it wasn’t as bad, and the picture shows a few samples after it was safe to go outside.
This morning we headed out with the Naegelis and Costleys to the Sweder Berry U Pick farm. We didn’t get a lot of raspberries – they were fairly picked over – but we made the best of the trip out.
Also at the farm were kitties. Everyone loves kitties!
After the Sweder Farm we brought Ethan over for a sleep over. Tonight we went for a little walk down the hill with Toby.
And we’re back.
This year we headed to Alberta for our vacation. First up was a couple nights in Banff.

Last night was our 1st Annual BolaBall Tournament. Even though it’s a game of luck, I suppose the winners should still be congratulated.
I mean, really, even kids were playing.
Yeah, the adults had fun too.
A crowd even showed up to watch the semi finals.
The pressure was intense.
Ice cream always helps.
The finals – The crowds really came out now.
Mike and Monica vs Frances, Regina and Hannah.
In the end it was Mike and Monica that came out on top.
Crappy game anyway. (Sorry Carolyne)
And there was a spider too.
It was fun night and a great visit before everyone heads on back home and on holidays. Until next year.

Last weekend we headed out to Ten Mile Lake for the annual August 1st Swiss Club Party. It was a lot of fun at an amazing place. We were there with the Naegelis, the Naegelis, the Costleys, the Breedvelds, Nikki, and lots of other Swiss people. My biggest regret is that there aren’t photos of the epic volleyball games played on Sunday. I’ll just say I was amazing and it’s a shame that everyone can’t see proof!
Again, please continue reading for a lot more photos.

We headed to Forests for the World after dinner to take Toby for a swim. Turns out the pond was already occupied. We didn’t think that the two of them would get along all that well.
We spent Sunday in the Naegeli’s backyard. It was day two of Mitchell’s birthday, and an all round enjoy the weather and the company day. Good times.
I’ve put a “continue reading” link in this post since it’s just full of pictures. Lots of pictures.

Well, actually frozen yogurt. “Frozen yogurt” cones just doesn’t seem right though. The perfect snack after a beautiful day.
