What with our internet access being unpredictably intermittent, this post is a little late. Yesterday morning began with more sourdough waffles (we've been promised them as long as they are in demand) fresh strawberries and ice cream.
Then out for our morning constitutional, snapping photos along the way. We came across a couple of blackberry canes, with the first hints of blackberries growing on the tips.
We also came across a wild apple tree, with the branches groaning under the weight of its apples.
Down to the beach after lunch, for a swim. Following the swim we drove into Sicamous, a town 6 miles from the cabin, to buy more strawberries, fill up the gas tank, and buy a couple of ice creams at the local ice cream shoppe, D Dutchmen Dairy.
The kids had bubblegum, chocolate silk and strawberry wafflecones. The adults picked up two gallon pails of ice cream, one, chocolate raspberry swirl, the other, cherry custard.
After dinner, we played an 8-player game of Settlers of Catan. Though I was not in the running for the title of victor, others did worse. It was a fun game, with lots of drama and betrayal.

Are you a fan of Drama and Betrayal in Catan?
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't feel like Settlers without it...
ReplyDelete:D
Ice cream for breakfast. Brilliant.
ReplyDelete@Ivy: we're on vacation ... the kids can eat whatever, whenever!
