Day9- 14

Day 14 - Kelowna - Vancouver

We where gone by 9 and was sent off with a box of beautiful organic fruit, thank you Lisa. We went my my mom`s tree and thought it might be eisier not to go. I started bawling and Bryan wipped the car around and we went to go see it. The tree was wilting but as soon as we entered the parking lot I knew exactly which tree it was. I miss my mom so much, she would have had a blast at the Reunion. We made our way into Penticton and my eyes instantly darted around for people I knew. We my old friends house Aimee and Josh , getting to see there new baby Aleigha. We left at about 12 and made it into Vancouver about 7 with tones of traffic to remind us why we left. We went to Commercial drive to see Loe and get yummy donairs. We got to Gloria and Larry`s house at 20:30. I`ve gotten quite close to them through the years, it was so great to see them.

Day 13 - Kelowna

We woke up very lethargically....yes beds again! We finally packed up and went for coffee. I phoned family friends Mara and John, so we headed over there after we finished our coffee. Mara gave directions, but to my suprise I remembered exactly how to get there. We had a great visit, it was so nice to see them. They very plesantly have not changed a bit. Before heading back to Lisa`s we went shopping at Orchard park mall. We got some new needed clothes. Bryan got some really nice Rugby shirts. We went out for Sushi near Lisa and David`s house, I love Sushi. We then rented a movie and watched it at there house.

Day 12- Lost Lemon - Kelowna
We woke up thinking that we were going to be off early...but it didn`t end up that way. Dad left first saying a quick good-bye. I eyes wherèn`t raining yet, thankfully. It wasn`t untill Sanora stared clinging to Gena crying that I started to bawl. Sanora had such a great time, I am so happy for her. We where already running late so we decided that it would be best not to go to Jan`s B&B. We said good-bye the night before so we decided that would have to do, we needed to go. As it was we didn`t get to Kelowna till 20:30. It was a long drive and getting closer to Kelowna memories fludded me. We had to let Sienna cry it out in the end, poor girl. You do what you gotta do in the end. When we got to Lisa`s house she made amazing tofu dish. She definantly cooks it better than I do.

Day 11-Lost Lemon

Cutch and Lois left today. It was sad to see them go. We all packed up and went to the Frank Slide Interpreter Centre. Bryan, Gena and I arrived late because we hadn`t realized we where all meeting together, so we ended up at a grave yard. The grave yard was a memorial for the mine that collapsed and the frank slide. It was sad and beautiful at the same time, we took lots of pictures. When we actually made it to the Interpeter Centre we thought what a waste of money we should have taken everyone to the cemetary, it would have been more informative. It kept ringing in my head that this day is the last day before we go our seprate ways.....and how long then till we see eachother next. There where bussles of heart felt conversations accompanied with tears serounding the campsite. That night was awsome. Everyone was laughing and talking. Bryan packed up the truck and lots serounded him, with not one being left out of the fun. We sat around the tables after guests had left talking, I got to talk to Lawson more. I probebly talked more to Lawson more than Glenny the whole weekend. I loved being together just us 4 girls, it`s been such a long time. Then Gerri spotted a forest fire in the mountains (there was lots of lightening in the mountains) so I pipe up...oh we should call it in! Bryan phones it in and we`re sitting there in amazement as we saw flams thinking oh god how much forest is going to go this time. Suddenly Gena realizes that hey the fire is now suspended above the mountain......wait a minute thats the moon! So bryan got the brunt of the bugging and soon we hear Bryan`s phone go off with the forest service phoning him back.

Day 10- Lost Lemon

Cutch and Lois came today. Sienna loved Lois would fall asleep in a second for her. We had planed to go to a lake with the kids but we ended up staying around the camp site and playing cards. Tim (Jan and shawn`s friend) took the boys up a mine. Aparently the roads Tim built himself. While Bryan was gone he locked up the truck, and with us not leaving the campsite we needed a few things from there. I just kept making jokes about it. The guys came back around 5. That night gena andI stayed up and played crib. We ended up in a cicking, and chocolate fight. I almost peed myself many times I was laughing so hard. Glenny came storming out because we where keeping her up. She sat out on gaurd till we went to bed. We where the cause of her not so great sleep, poor glenny.



Day 9-Lost Lemon

Glenny's fam came today. Jazzy is such a sweet heart, and Cadi is so big. I was the last to meet Lawson, it was nice to finally meet him. Everyone catched up with eachother and Soon Gerri arrived with her friend Vern. When night time came Most of the camp site went to friends of Jan's Tim and Karren's house. Dad, Gerri, Vern, Bryan and I stayed Behind, I was tired but we stayed up and played cards.
