"Let's go wallow!"

I love summer. I love wearing flip-flops. I love swimming. I love going sailing. Best of all I love summer holidays. One of my favorite places to go in the summer is Kalamalka Lake. I grew up as a daughter of two teachers, so when us kids has holidays, so did my parents. My dad's favorite place to take our family was Vernon. He grew up water skiing and swimming on this lake. So of course he wanted the same for us. My aunt bought a cabin on the lake approx 10 years ago. She so kindly has let us use it during the summers. Spending time with cousins, making fires, learning how to sail, wakeboard, ski and so much more!

The best part of this cabin is that every summer we find something else to do. This summer it had rained for about a week before I had shown up. So some our neighbors decided to find the biggest mud hole on the dirt road and rip through it again and again in their TRUCKS! After getting themselves stuck a few times they had a grand idea to "wallow" in the mud. So we got into our old bathing suits, in the boys case- their boxers and walked the 10 minute walk to the mud hole...here are the moments to remember. 

"H" to the "C"-Core (Hardcore) Biking

There are many things I love in life, two of which fall into this post. Outdoors and photography.
Another thing I love is living in a place where I can wear my flip-flops all year round. That would be the lower mainland of BC. For me this is so amazing because I grew up in a place where snow stayed on the ground for a decent portion of the year, 5-6 months to be a little more precise. I really don't like shoes, I appreciate them and all, but I don't like having my feet all sweaty and confined in socks and shoes. So to me living in a place that I can wear sandals is perfect! However that is beside the point when it comes to this post, I just left like I had to share that, because the majority of this day I was in sandals or barefoot.

My wonderful boyfriend and I love to play outside and have adventures. One this particular day I decided to let him choose whatever he wanted to do, he chose biking and so that is what I did. I secretly was excited about this because that meant I could also take pictures of him which also made my day. (What a great team eh?) We had a lot of fun trying new things, him on his bike and me working with the camera. We also made some new friends while at the bike park.

I really like this set of photos I hop you can enjoy them as well!
