family day: harrison hot springs

we had a wonderful saturday enjoying some much-needed family day out.
anyone with two very young children knows how difficult it is to step out of the house
it takes at us at least 3 hours to get everyone bathed, packed and ready to go!

we hit record time yesterday by getting out in two hours flat.

i was craving for IHOP but we would have to drive out of the way
so we headed over to white spot for some yummy breakfast.

pancakes for me and mushroom & egg omelet for the hubby

after stuffing ourselves full

we prepped for our hour or so drive over to harrison hot springs

harrison has to be one of my favourite places to visit

and prior to dylan's birth, the hubby and i drove down there at least twice every summer

we have spent a couple of overnighters in this small town

and have very fond memories there with friends

so while dylan and i enjoyed walking around...

basking in the sun... (and i am now sporting a red sunburnt nose)

and playing in the water...

the hubby and kaelan had to stay in the shade
as we are not yet allowed to put any sunscreen on the baby
(and let me tell you it was HOT yesterday!)

after a few hours of frolicking and playing

and just plain enjoying the beautiful summer weather

it was time for us to get our gear and head home

to catch game 2 of the stanley cup finals!

(which, btw, our Canucks won!!!!)

but of course

the hot sun and a quick trip out of town is not complete

without stopping for some yummy gelato!

i hope you lovies had a great saturday as well!
