Well, we took what looks like may be our last big camping trip for the season (other than a quick weekend away here locally). *Sigh* We're pretty sad about it because that means that our great summer is over......we had so much fun!
Anyway, here are some photos from: Our weekend away with Mike, Natalie & Riley at Monk Park, just outside of Merrit. It was really nice and I think we'd go back again. The big plus: It's only 2-1/2 hours from home! Makes those quick weekend getaways easy!
We did tons of stuff, but some highlights were going to the PNE, Go Bananas, we took the Skytrain Millenium Line downtown and played tourists, had fun at the waterpark with Aunty Teresa (where I got stung by a bee on my big toe! I STILL can't believe it even happened......) and just had some plain old good times in our backyard.
We've had a wonderful summer! Oh - and that nice red mark on Benjamin's chin: he kissed a concrete wall at Grammy's! Ouch!


Here's Benjamin up on the rocks at Monk Park.
