HOUSEBOATING!!!
We had an awesome time houseboating on the Shushwap lake! We started out on Saturday afternoon and finished the following Friday.We wake-boarded, soaked up the sun, enjoyed the hot tub on the roof and played lots of games. There where 12 adults and 4 kids = Wayne, Roxy and Kingston Ripley - Dustin,Jodie and Ryder ? - Kent, Lyndel, Chet and Sienna O'Regan - Caryln Anderson - and then all us Camper Kiwis! I took soooo many photos as usual so trying to pick which ones to put on here was a bit tricky - get ready for an overload of photos! ;-)

The ladies unpacking all the food!!

The mighty fine looking Captain!

In the hot tub!

The boys tieing the boat up for the night - every night you had to beach on the shore, there was no anchor on the boat...

The camper kids automatically sat on the same couch which was kind of funny! We finally had a lot of space and we ended up like this!

Jumping off the boat... As you can see this lake drops off very fast!

Cooking lunch on the BBQ at the front on the boat.

Kent caught a fish!!!!!

Mmmm fruit!

Ryders dad - Dustin brought a salmon home!

Quite an ugly looking fish!

Ryder checking it out!

There was a river just down from where we parked the boat one night and it had lots and lots of Salmon spawning - once then spawn they die so there where also lots of dead fish floating around!

There was a storm one night - it proved quite hard to tie the boat up, nothing these boys couldn't handle though;-)

A reflection in the window..

Playing cards at night...

What a fantastic time you four are having!! We can relate to living in a camper and finding washing machines, cheap food etc!! We are just loving it though too. Just been to Vienna cons and now in Hungary. Lots of love Geoff and Anna
