Christina Lake

This summer I was SO looking forward to going out to Christina Lake with Tamara, James, Miranda & Ethan at the end of August. The day finally arrived and we drove out together - with Ethan traveling most of the way with me. The drive was lovely and we got to our campsite, setting up the tents in time to fall fast asleep. The week was a little challenging given that the kids were really into DOING stuff, whereas, us adults were more into just BEING (doing nothing!). However we had the best times just hanging out at the beach - and in the water ... which we did as much as possible.

Miranda and I slept in this little tent together ... cozy!

James made sure the coffee was on every morning! Cheers!

Christina Lake has all the benefits of Skaha & Okanagan Lakes - but warmer and also with far less crowds ... beautiful sandy beaches and great swimming areas.

This butterfly rested on my capri's for a long time before flying off!

Ethan and Miranda enjoyed playing in the sand when they weren't in the water!

I've LOVED swimming all my life and this was one of the highlights of my summer!

On the morning I left (after staying an extra day on my own), I caught these deer right down town Grand Forks!

Sorry Tamara ... I know we took pictures with you in them ... they must be in your camera :)
