Well July arrived and it looks like it is going to be a very active fire season. Lots of fires in and around Kamloops and the Province. Which of course makes it very smokey. Hack! Hack!

Mid July we met Lynda and Tricia for the restart of our monthly dinners out. Brent and Karen unfortunately could not make it this month.

The last week of July we had Zach and Oliver for 5 days at Namma and Pops Summer Camp. We did lots of fun stuff like Mini Golf,

Bowling, Sewing Projects and afternoons at Riverside Park Beach.

Then every afternoon we headed to “Scoops” Ice Cream Parlour for an afternoon treat. The weather was very smokey for most of their stay so we tried to do inside activities and low intensity outside activities, so we only got Disc Golfing once. However we did make a visit to the Okanagan Disc Golf store to buy some new discs.
It was a fast week and lots of fun.

August arrived and the wild fire situation is not improving. The smoke in the valley just keeps getting worse. Lots of inside activities and on our morning walks we are wearing N95 particulate masks.

The second week of August we met Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad in Merritt for a lunch on Sunday. After a short visit we headed back to Kamloops with Sage and Conrad for a modified week at Namma and Pops Summer Camp. Sage and Conrad’s summer camp included a lot of shopping for clothes,

Bowling and Mini Golf. On Tuesday we drove Sage back to Merritt to meet Kevin and Tamara. Sage had to work for the rest of the week. However, Conrad came back to Kamloops with us for the remainder of the week. We missed Sage but had a fun time with Conrad and he got a Hole-in-One at Mini Golf

Then on Saturday we drove him back to Merritt to meet up with his Mom. It was a fun fast week.

Finally in August the last weekend of the month we had both families here for one full day. It was a very busy overlap day. Kevin, Jeff, Lindsay, Zach, Oliver and Conrad went disc golfing. Tamara, Sage and I went shopping while Brenda stayed home to look after the dogs and do the dinner prep. We had GGMA over for dinner and everyone had a great visit.

September arrived and it’s situation normal here. The weather is cooling off and definitely feeling like fall is on the way.
We picked the Prune Plum tree and it was a bumper crop this year. We had already picked some to send home with both families and then with what we harvested we figure we had well over 50 lbs.

Judy made a quick trip down for a visit with family and it was great to see her.
