Invermere Getaway


A little apprehensive about the tunnel slide...

This was about the 5th photo my sister took of the two of us, Jason refused to smile normally.


Brooklynn owning "her" remote. She has a little remote control and portable phone obsession.
Mmmmmmmm, homemade chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream= D E L I C I O U S.
Jason enjoying the fruits of his labour. He made the ice cream, I think it was attempt #3, or 4... the others didn't turn out but at last SUCCESS!

It happened back in February, the last weekend. I just forgot my camera and had to wait to get the ones we took on my sister's camera before I posted about it. She uploaded them today and I am excited to record the happenings from our little trip.

We headed out to Invermere Friday afternoon with my sister Amanda, Brooklynn, Jason and myself. Jenn and Justin took off a little later in the day to show up at the condo around dinner time. We were staying at my in laws condo pretty much on Lake Windermere. It's really pretty out there, BC is just GORGEOUS! Right beside Invermere is this little town called Radium, and there are natural hot springs, we really want to check those out sometime soon. Other than that it is pretty untouched from a lot of commercialism, buildings, etc. There aren't really suburbs and whatnot, just cute little homes with lots of property, locally owned shops and restaurants- nothing too developed but LOTS of cabin and and vacation property around the lake and resorts tucked away in scenic spots but nothing too overcrowding. I like it. It's a great place to getaway and it's under 3 hours to drive there from Calgary. Just perfect. It was really nice for us to be able to spend some time with my siblings. We live soo close but we always say that we take it for granted. We have different friends and we forget to just spend good old down time together to bond more, so this weekend was dedicated to that. I'm grateful that Jason's parents let us spend time out there too!

What a fun little get away!! You and your sisters need to take advantage of living so close and do more things together more often. It won't be too long when someone moves away and it will be harder to get together!! I love Brooklynn's hat and the picture of the ice cream just made me want to go buy some....hahah thanks! It's the last thing I need to eat! ;) We need to get together soon!! I miss the good old days we had living together!!
