Sat. family hike day

We went on a hike last Saturday...down to the Kettle Valley railway, just out of town. We saw fresh bear poop (very exciting, as I've wanted to see a bear this spring) so turned around from our desired destination. The black 'lump' in the bushes didn't move and it wasn't a bear. We continued back to the river and had lunch there. Warmed up chili and had apples and these ginger molasses cookies with real fresh ginger and maple syrup in them. Andy also brought delicious chai tea in a thermos. Sarah rode some in a big backpack for carrying kids hiking and hiked a bunch too. She liked that the hiking pole got small for her. We played with sticks and made a house out of them and all walked through the tunnel on the way back making different animal sounds - she wasn't scared of how dark it got in the middle either, just commented on the fact that it was dark.
Sun. was a potluck at church and Bible study at night. A new couple was there which is neat. Oh, and Fri. we had people to our house for dinner too. That was very nice.
We just came back last night from the Tulahead Annual Fundraiser in Whiterock Thurs. night. More about that in the camp blog sometime.
We also got chicks last Wed. Very exciting. They are growing so much already.
I've been quite tired again, but am excited about the following hour because Sarah is at the garden with Andy and I get to sleep. Yeah!
