Last week, after a few days of lazing around the house and recovering from a short-lived flu bug, we decided to embrace the sunshine, and ventured out to explore our beautiful BC with some friends. From our place we thought to first take in Bridal Veil Falls Park, just west of Chilliwack, so we set off in that direction. We screeched to a halt to read this.
Seriously? We had just driven 45 minutes for nothing? Turns out the Park was indeed closed due to potential mudslides from all the rain we'd been having the week before. Ugh. We thought we might walk the trail regardless. But the thought of swimming in mud made us opt for Plan B. Which was Harrison Hot Springs, about 20 minutes away.
And it was beautiful, I kid you not. Fell in love with this place. Lake in front..
...mountains behind. Oh my. What a spectacular little spot.
We wandered around one of the hotels, and store-hopped all the little touristy shops. The kids made their own fun. Skipped rocks. Rocked the dock. And we're mildly entertained by Alana declaring that she could actually jump onto the beach from the dock bridge. Yes, she did jump. Immediately following about 15 minutes of drama. And the pressure of Hayden jumping before her. Haha.
On the way home we stopped in at Castle Fun Park so the kids could play a round of mini golf. They'd been begging to do this since first thing this morning. See how happy they all are when they get their own way! I'm kidding. My two are always this happy. Also kidding. While Lisa and I patiently sat on the sidelines and drank in the sunshine... ah... it's a good life!
