Visit from Japan!

 
After spending three weeks in Japan, Warren (aka Midori) and Chris' flight home touched down in Vancouver, which, OF COURSE, meant a road trip to Kelowna!!!
 
First stop: IHOP!!!! (A first for Simone!)
 
Second stop: Wineries! (And, yes, this was also a first for Simone!)

Chris, the professional photographer, set up his fancy camera to get some good shots with the good scenery. Here we are at Boucherie Winery...
 
... and Quails Gate...
 
This little disturbance doesn't faze the profesh!

Jeff is "helping" Chris set up the shot. Speaking of a little disturbing...

 
Family shots!


The next day we took a trip up Dilworth Mountain.

 
Warren points out where Jeff and Ash got married at the Golf Course below.

 
Photog Ash = Sears Assistant!

Back out at the cabin, Grandpa takes us for a boat ride.
 
Yet another first for this little floating monkey!

 
Dock Jump 2012!
 
Jake rates Chris' lovely diving form: 9.5!
 
Ooooo! A "10" for Warren - her feet are together!

A super cool evening shot with the Ogopogo! This was Chris' last night with us - he had to go back to work in Toronto. We got to keep Warren for a few more sleeps!
 
This picture gives new meaning to the term "double-fisting"!
 
During a stroll along the waterfront in Peachland, Simone holds on tight!
 
All snuggled in for a bedtime story!

Another adventure: cliff jumping at Paul's Tomb!

Hangover-style!
 
Warren and Jeff boldly go where many men have gone before...
 
A kiss for good luck! 
 
Geronimo!!!
 
Now for the rocky climb back up...
 
Smart Warren wore her "amphibian shoes"! She learned her lesson after her recent snorkeling experience in Japan!
 
We were so grateful to get to spend some time with our dear Ontarian friends! Simone was so happy to finally meet them! Looking forward to the next visit!!!
