Best day ever. Seriously. Let's start at the very beginning: lazy oversleeping, warm cinnamon buns and fruit salad out on the deck, a quick clean up and gathering of supplies and then we were out the door for an afternoon of adventuring. We took the girls up to the Boulder Fields in Myra Canyon. The drive up the bumpy gravel roads was thrilling on its own for our giggly girls, but up in the cool air of the mountains, with bright green baby trees surrounding us and twisting, rugged trails to hike around we were all in heaven.
We brought a little picnic lunch to eat on a rock overlooking the canyon. Avery was a great little mountaineer. She worried over the steeper sections a little bit, but otherwise she never whined or grew weary and just kept on moving. Ella was happy as a clam in the backpack up on Daddy's shoulders. They were such troopers.

On our way back down into town we thought we'd take a side trip to check out what the new Kelowna Mountain is all about. The girls weren't yet exhausted and seemed to have some spunk in them still, so we decided to go right in. Turns out this is the last weekend they'll be allowing guests in for free, so lucky us! It's going to be brilliant once it's all complete, but for now we enjoyed hiking over three of the suspension bridges (one of them being the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America), checking out the waterfall and looking out over our beautiful city.
Avery had no problem going over these long, wobbly bridges. Pretty sure I wasn't that tough when I was four.
Seriously beautiful day.
That looks like so much fun! You live in such a beautiful part of the world! That's great that your girls enjoyed the adventure, too!
