I love water!!


White Rock Beach - oh to have a house with this view!

My good good friend Tamara, eating gelato - mmmmm yum!

Crescent Beach at dusk - sooooo pretty!

View of Kamloops Lake from the side of the road

Okanagan Lake - So serene

Ok. So, the last month has been a great one! I really forgot how beautiful BC is and why I love living here. I stayed at Kamloops Lake on the way home from Edmonton with my Mom, went hiking in Westbank and spent some time at the beach....so far! I still have 2 more weeks here. I can't believe it's gone so fast!

Random Adventures in Edmonton!

Contrary to popular opinion, there are things to do in Edmonton. But these often consist of winter sport options, so when you are sick of tobagganing, skating etc. you have to use your imagination to have some fun! So here is a sneak peek at my adventures during the last 4 months (snow-filled and otherwise!). Some of us snowmobile...
While others like to live within a couple seconds of death :)
Have you ever skated on slush...I don't recommend it! haha
We hire the 3 year olds to shovel....
...while we play charades inside ;)

My 'land family'

Yes, the title does have an explanation...it's a bit of a play on words. People always talk about their landlords, but since the people living upstairs really consist of Mark, Diane and their 3 kids, (who have essentially adopted me) so they really are a 'land family' rather than just landlords. So every so often I will introduce you to one of them. Today's family member is Emily! She is very active and loves track. One night she wanted to practice for an upcoming meet and decided to time herself running 20 laps up and down 2 flights of stairs!!! It tires me out just thinking about it. So here's a video of her best race yet. Her team got first. (You will also find she has a very enthusiastic mother :) (Well, until I can't figure out how to attach the video, so until then, you can wait with anticipation).

More Banff Pictures!


Believe it or not, this is the freeway...

We got hungry!

Ah yes...the infamous accident.

I love this picture. It reminds me of a winter clothing add or something.

The view from our chalet. Score!

Spring Cleaning!

You are probably wondering if you are at the right place. Yes, this is still Becky's blog!! I decided it was time for some changes, so it now has a nice 'springy' look and I've added some links for you to be further tempted to procrastination. Take a look!
