Canada Day 2010

So for Canada Day we had planned to go to Harrison Hot Springs and spend the day in the lake swimming then stay and watch the fireworks over the water. Well surprise surprise when we woke up...it was raining....and raining hard. So that ment no swimming. The kids were a little sad about not swimming so we decided to jump in the car and head towards the interior and find some water and some sun. We drove up highway 3 towards Kamaloops. When we got to Merrit there was sun and a sign that said "Logan Lake" so we turned off the highway and headed for the lake. Well, when we got there it turned out to be a little town built around a little lake made from mine run off water (not suitable for swimming in). So the kids were sad. We stopped at a play ground there and let the kids play for a little while after being in the car for three hours while we decided what to do next.

It was about 3 in the afternoon now, so we decided to turn around and head back to Harrison and at least catch the fireworks. When we got there, the clouds had parted....it wasn't sunny, but it wasn't raining either. The kids headed for the beach and played in the water and made sand castles until dark, then we watched the fireworks before heading home. A very interesting but fun day!
