Our first day out we decided to go for a bike ride. As soon as we came to a sign that said "Bear Warning. If you encounter a bear, remain in your vehicle" I noticed a car stopped ahead, and just then, a black bear came ambling down the embankment!
It's the black bit in the top left corner of the photo - that's Danny's hand at the bottom right. You'll probably have to click on the image and make it full sized to see the bear - but we didn't want to get any closer.
We stayed in the campsite for four days, biking, hiking, playing cards...
We have a pretty
comfortable set up - a large tent that my family has dubbed 'The Taj Mahal', a cushy blow up mattress, and a dining tent, so even if it rains, we can sit at the picnic bench and play cards, eat, etc.It was great weather, but COLD at night (high altitude) and lots of mosquitos!

Then we went to the Okanagan and joined our family for the annual Mayfield Camp weekend. Spent 3 days there before heading home and back to work.

Hey! I like the blog. Did Dan do Suduko all weekend? Because that's all he did when I saw him this summer. How did you get those nice little captions under the photos? x
Also... you'll want to change the setting to allow anonymous comments otherwise the fam members who are a bit 'sign-up phobic' (not unlike my own mother) can't leave comments. x
Cool blog Phil - nice pictures too. Glad you finally got a real break.
Which "sign-Up phobic" mother is she talking about?
No one is a sign-up phobic!!! It was great to have everyone at the cottage in the Okanagan; and great that you could be there!!Danny did Suduko, yes. the rest of us chased wasps.
