Kootenays

Anna and I have been up to the Kootenays for a few days to visit with old friends. Miranda, Kim and I met at university some 17/18 years ago (yikes! is it that long ago already?), and we've since spread out across the province. We try to meet up when we can, and though it's not nearly often enough, it's always so nice when we manage to make it happen.


Over the years our get-togethers have changed from three single birds with few responsibilities and fewer limits on where and when we can meet, to three moms and wives whose get-togethers are now centred around the kids with little bits of conversation had here and there, but much pleasure in each others company just the same.



Miranda lives in Nelson and Kim in Salmon Arm, and for this trip Anna and I flew up to Nelson and spent a night there with Miranda and Elias, and then headed up to New Denver to stay at Dome Quixote, with Kim and Lucas joining us. Lucas broke his arm within the first couple of hours, but that barely put a damper in his adventurous spirit, and we had a good time exploring the town, beaches and creek-side trails for a couple of days.






We had a great great time, but we were so happy to see Patrik at the airport when we got home. Anna's face lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw him :)
