Alex and I spent the weekend camping at Silver Lake near Mount Baker. It was opening day of fishing season, and we went in search of fish.



Alex had his mind mad up to catch fish.


The camp kitchen was amazing.


We had a spectacular fish free lunch.

Our friends in Norway told us about this great game called Kongespill that they played recently.

You play it on your lawn.

It was described to me as two teams attempt to knock over their opponents blocks of wood by hurling lengths of dowel.

I am going to have to learn all the rules and try it out. It sounds like a wooden version of bocce ball without the ball.

For the 3 day weekend we visited Osoyoos Lake State park. This should not be confused with the Soyuz spacecraft which was built by the Soviet Union.

Osoyoos is a lake in Eastern Washington / Eastern BC. The lake crosses the border between Washington and BC.

To start out we didn't know how the weather was going to turn out.

The rainbow was amazing.




On Saturday we went north into BC Canada to visit the tasting rooms at a couple of the local wineries.







We found a lovely building for someone to fix up. Maybe not the best flip house, but it was a great view.



When we were in Canada, we noticed a fire break out on one of the ridges above the town of Oliver. The forest service was on the scene quickly with drops of flame retardant.




This statue was located at the BC Visitor Information center.


When driving through Osoyoos, we discovered a store called Stedmans.



Alex and I slept out under the stars on Sunday night (no tent).

On Monday Gypsy wanted to go biking, but she couldn't get the bike helmet to fit.
