A warm October, full of adventures.

It was unusually warm this autumn. We had a few adventures in our beautiful province of BC.


 
Our road trip to Kamloops Lake in Steelhead Provincial Park, Savona. The kids explored and collected many materials and made a driftwood fort. 



 
 

 
 
We took a hike around the duck ponds and trails in Pineview Valley, Kamloops. We found some bear poop and visited the ducks. The kids collected a ton of beautiful, red fall leaves. We stopped at the playground and then borrowed a side walk to draw with chalk- Aiden wrote his name, the boys drew robots, and Gemma made a hopscotch game.
 






 
 
 
Another adventure was to Tranquille Farm Fresh. We conquered the corn maze and then learned how to work some old machinery like the corn miller. Then the kids each picked a pumpkin to take home. They got to borrow the wagon to tow their pumpkins and Finn hitched a ride.
