Day trip to Vancouver!

On Saturday the 27th Sept we had a day out to Vancouver! The drive to Vancouver from the Okanagan over the mountains is just amazing we where that high at one point we where driving through the clouds! We always split the driving very fairly, I drive the first hour and hubby drives the other six!!!!!
We set off from our house at 6am, we got to a friends house in Abbortsford at about 9.15am. It was lovely meeting up with friends that we knew in the UK. From their house we went into Vancouver to do some shopping and check the sights out again, we then went to another friends for a cuppa before setting back off home! We got back home at about 1 in the morning.

Skiing!

Well we have done it now we have bought skis and snowboards!!!! There was a ski swap in Kelowna today (13th Sept) we spent all day trying skis and boots on trying to get everything right! All we need now is to decide which mountain to get lift passes for is it Big White or is it Crystal Mountain! Big White is the bigger resort but more expensive and very busy plus over an hour away, Crystal is smaller than Big White not as busy and is only about 15 mins away!

HELP which one do we choose?

Check Mate!!!!

Furniture arrived on Tuesday 2nd September all seemed well until we got an email on Friday 5th September saying they had part of a chess set that was ours! How it came separated from the rest of our things is a mystery! But they wanted us to go and pick it up from the depot but over the weekend they have been broken into and guess what our chess set was stolen!!!!!
So now they want us to put a value on something that can’t be replaced!

Lost PR cards!!!!

We have been here for over 10 weeks now and no sign of our PR cards! Customs said it would take about 6 to 8 weeks!!! After contacting them today hubby finds out they sent them to the wrong address, so they got sent back to customs! So now they have the correct address hopefully we will get them very soon!!!!

Westside Warriors

Well the Ice Hockey season is on it's way, we have been to the last 2 games of the Westside Warriors the first game they lost 7-2 but the last game we went to they won 3-2!!!!
Canadians really do like thier Ice Hockey!!!!

Starting School!

On the 2nd of September the boys started school!
They are enjoying not having to wear a uniform for school, jeans and t shirts are the uniform in Canada!
From what they say they seem to be enjoying thier new school life and they seem to be making friends!

We are in our house!

We moved into our house on the 28th of Aug and our furniture arrived on the 2nd Sept!
The furniture we had shipped over from the UK looks lost in the house, lost and a lot smaller than it was in the UK!!!
We have rooms that we don't know what to do with yet!
We love the area we have chosen to live we have mountains all around us and you just drive down the road and the Lake is just in front of you!
