Its not just a party, its a Kimberley Party

Logan has very interesting interests...

While the weather in Alberta had been quite nice, the weather in British Columbia was absolutely gorgeous. Connie and Brad came down on Friday (and I was banished from my comfortable bed to the couch) and we spent quite a bit of the weekend fixing Logan's lawn, which was beginning to resemble a jungle...

But I always find time to read. I read Sherman Alexie's young adult novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian in one day, and it was amazing. I cannot recommend it enough (you can see my full review of it over on my YouTube channel).

I made Team Jones margaritas in Logan's Magic Bullet one night (I love that thing) though I refused to use the tequila that had a worm on the bottom, and used the other stuff instead (ew, seriously, ew).

Yum!

On Connie and Brad's last full day in Kimberley we went on a fun time adventure, walking up to the Marysville falls and then up Sunflower Hill.

The spring melt had really swollen Mark Creek, resulting in a boil water notice that was active pretty much the whole time I was there (and also resulted in me learning a new word - turbidity!)

Good thing the creek was so loud - you can't hear Connie come up behind me and say "oh, are you making a video" (before clapping her hand over her mouth) - not so in a later video of the falls when Brad asked me the same question (I refilmed that one).

I believe that this is an abandoned fall out shelter or a forgotten secret lair and I refuse to accept any other explanation.

This guy was super cooperative for photos.

We then headed up one of the roads that Logan worked on with the forestry department last summer (though we didn't go as far into the mountains as he used to) and hiked up an old logging road.

The flowers after which the hill (presumably) gets its name.

The ground here was obviously very uneven - look at how tall Connie looks!

We concluded our day with a trip to the Pedal and Tap for dinner. It was delicious and adorable - I'm planning on doing an article on them for Hashtag, it was that good!
