We arrive into Bridge Lake having rugged up for the Rockies weather only to discover SUMMER finally its a balmy 30 degrees and we love it. We meet the cousins and have a wonderful weekend at the Lake with Terry and Gord and their mob of kids, Trevor Kelly and her friends and Shane and Mitchell. We are here for Kellys birthday and the kids all have a great time together on the water swimming, skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding and fishing.
Kevin loves driving the boat as we get Gord and Trevor up on the Wakeboard and Terry and I decorate the boat beautifully with our gorgeous tanned bodies (well we think so anyway).
James gets to finally do some wakeboarding which he has been missing and Steph being the water baby she is doesn't get out of the water for most of the day. I can't believe it, its actually boiling here during the day and we all get rather burnt, at night however because we are so high up around 1200 m its still very cold. The water is a cool 17 degrees but because its so hot we don't mind too much and I don't stay in for long anyway.
We have a great weekend with the Pratts, great food, bit of beer drunk and lots of great catching up. I realise why I love camping again just being in the outdoors especially in the mornings, nights are a bit hazardous with the bugs, its so peaceful up here, very picturesque on the lake.
We also experience more amazing wildlife here in particular the Loons which are lovely Canadian birds that are really beautiful to watch and listen to, we also see more deer, muskrat and Canadian geese.
On Monday we head over to Sheridan lake to stay with Doug and Andrea, Kevins Aunt and Uncle and we have a lovely time at their cabin although the weather turns a bit nasty again we have a well needed rest here for a couple of days before heading to Kamloops. Its great to catch up with more family and wonderful to see Doug and Andrea so well. They have a very cute little littel cabin on the lake and Steph and James enjoy kayaking on the lake.

We have been staying in places out of internet range for a while. Sounds like you are having fun. We are in DC at the moment. Talia reckons we should have coordinated our summer plans and teamed up better since we have covered some similar ground and all love warm weather and water! We are back in Bainbridge on the Tuesday 28th and hope you will be able to catch up with us there!
Our plane gets in at 11.45am and then it will take us a couple of hours to go get out, taxi and ferry it home, longer if we just miss a ferry! So should be there mid-afternoon, ur welcome to stay as long as you like, we will be disorganised but that hasn't stopped anyone having fun before!
