Easter Weekend Fun

Mum and Dad were over for the weekend and we have our Rotary exchange student too so we did our best to keep busy this weekend. On Saturday morning we took Aro (not his real name just what we call him), our exchange student, and Robin, another exchange student from France, fishing on the river. As per usual our fishing trip just turned into a nice walk along the river.

Saturday afternoon we spent lots of time playing outside, gardening and then started prepping for our Easter dinner which we had on Saturday night. On Sunday morning we got up early and the kids did their Easter egg hunt and then Chelsey and Aro went dragon boating. The plan in the afternoon was to show Aro the Othello Tunnels and then do some geocaching at Emery Creek. When we got to the Othello Tunnels the tunnels were still closed due to the rock fall hazard so we just played along the river for awhile. We had the same problem when we got to Emery Creek as the park/campground was not yet open for the season. To ensure the trip was not wasted I took a detour on the way home up the old BC Nickel Mine road to grab a couple of geocaches. Enough of my gabbing here are the pictures...
