-Diving, swimming and general beach lazing at Gallagher Lake. Our friends from the 'Wack stayed in these funky little cabins at the local campground. Scott & Mark did a little diving, the kids did a little swimming and Jackson & I took in a little sand digging. Our little guy loves textures and just couldn't get enough of the stuff between his fingers and toes and mouth and nose and ears and clothes. Oh well that's what the bathtub is for...
-Picking cherries for the first time of the season with our city friends. The cherries are not quite fully ripened but we found enough on the trees to fill a few buckets which thrilled our urban friends with a first time orchard experience of picking their own fruit.
-Scott took in a tube ride down the Okanagan River with Spencer, Mark & his kids. It was a fast, fun ride down the river with the water nice and high and the currents were just right that you didn't have a slow lag just a strong steady stream to the end. Wahoo!
-The evenings are so nice with just enough breeze to cool the heat of the sun that is just starting to set. A perfect time to take an after dinner walk with the JackMan. On one such night we picked up a movie in town and then headed here for some summer treats of an icy milkshake and float. Yum!
-Mommy's passion for books was let loose on the local library book sale that I happened upon while on a walk with Jackson. We didn't even know that it was being held this weekend but were returning borrowed books when we totally lucked out. My little bookworm was so well behaved as I hunted and searched through all the treasures in the library parking lot. And as the pile of finds grew, Mommy decided that she had to call in reinforcements to help transport them all home as we would not be able to manage it all with just our little stroller basket, especially after already stopping at Aunty Linda's garage sale and picking up a few items there. So a call to Scott was made to bring the van down for a lift home. And Daddy found a few titles for himself while waiting for me to finishing my perusal of all the boxes and carts of beautiful books. And the deals we found. By the time I had rummaged to my heart's content, with a few of Scott's 'That's enough!' every few minutes, the prices of the books went from $0.50/paperback & $1/hardcover to $1 for a whole box. What a bargain!!! So Scott was very glad to have stayed the extra moments. But all the funds were going back to the library so we left a few more dollars than required. All the more for the next time we borrow story time books for our reader.
-Family picnic at the lake. Again, just the right amount of wind to keep the hot sun at bay while lazing in the afternoon sun. We picked up a 'Picnic Lunch for Two' from a local deli. Yum Yum Yum! Look at all the goods that we munched on while spending some quality family time with Jackson. Smoked Gouda, Dry Italian Salami, Smoked Pacific Salmon Dip and Crisp Green Grapes were just a few of the gourmet items in our picnic basket. We tried out Jackosn's new beach cabana sun shield from Grandpa & Grandma P. It was great for both sun and wind. We will definitely keep it handy in the van for our future excursions in our hot desert climate region.
And now the weekend has come to an end and our little guy is plum tuckered out. Time to recharge and get ready for a new week of adventures in Smalliver.

I like the little beach cabana.
Gallagher Lake is so pretty. I wish it had public access.
