Summer 2009

Summer went too fast this year. Lots of friends and family, lots of work, and lots of sun. This is what our summer looked like.


We drove to great heights with Kens' Mom and Dad, up Nickleplate road.



We hiked to great heights with my aunt Rose up Pincushin mountain for a fantastic view of Peachland and the Okanagan Lake.


Oh yeah, did I mention my 30 year grad reunion!



Friends from Germany take a look at Kelowna far below.






While in the Kootenays for my Grandmothers' funeral we took a hike up into Kokankee Glacier park






My sisters Karen and Sharon and her man Lawerence, Ken and I at Kokanee lake, we never did see Kokanee Glacier


I always have to have at least one picture on flowers along the way


Karen and Sharon show off some of the blueberries and Huckleberry we picked when we hit the mother load along the side of the road on our way home from our hike






Ken and I took a few weekend camping trips with the Vstrom and a tent.











While camping at

Whiteswan lake we tried out a local

hot spring right on the river, the cold glacier water of the river was the

only thing that cools down

the water






We have been to Mt Robson several times but never have we had such a clear view as the weekend we rode the loop through Jasper National Park



Ken checks out the Columbia Ice fields, they have receded quite a bit since my first time there in the 1970's




More beautiful views along the way




Smoke makes for a very colorful sunset looking over the Shuswap lake, from Kens' brother Rons place



Kens brother Ron, Roseanne and Mercedes took us out fishing in their new boat, no bites but good times!


Mercedes and I pose for pics



Ken sits and eats huckleberries until he can't eat no more



We tend to gravitate to places of high altitude! This is the view of Kootenay Lake from above Kaslo


The last ride of the 2009, Chris and Gerry, Ken and I go for a afternoon ride on a chilly but sunny afternoon in early November
