I can be indecisive - even eating out for dinner can be a dilemma for me so imagine how hard it must have been to decide whether to make the trip to camp for two nights. We waffled back and forth for many days until we finally decided to just do it. Garth and I used to be adventurous but that had sadly fallen to the side in an effort to parent. But we have realized that parenting itself is an adventure and that we need to make some quick decisions and just go for it. I remember just quickly throwing a bag in our little Turismo and heading out for a weekend.... we don't do that anymore so this trip was somewhat familiar in the fact that we just decided to do it and then packed. Maybe that adventurous couple is back toting two little men too? Let's hope so!!!
Anyways, we headed out to Robson, we had a great time and were wishing we could have stayed longer (plan for next year Carly!!). It was rather relaxing due to the fact that there were 12 other children running around in our group so our boys were always entertained.
I think the highlight of the trip for me came in the 13 km round trip hike we managed on Friday afternoon in the middle of rain. It actually provided a rather nice temperature to walk in even though we did get wet. The boys made it the whole way and we only ended up piggy backing them for a short distance. We packed some energy pills for them (raspberry jujubes for Ry and chocolate covered almonds for Tys) and they were energized!
I'm thinking the highlight for Garth was either biking up the trail we hiked the next morning or taking a plunge in Kinney Lake (glacier fed lake -rather chilly!!) with no change of clothes or even a towel. Again that adventure thing kicking in again I guess.
So here are the many faces of Robson - I'll post actual Robson-esque photos next time.
Yup.... there is my man diving into the freezing cold water! Brrrrrrr!
I love the look on his face! At first I wasn't too sure if it was because of the cold or the rather immediate drop off of the lake bottom.
It can be impossible sometimes to get a good shot of these two. They are forever goofing off! Oh well, I guess that the photo is true to life!!
Alot of time was spent throwing rocks, logs and sticks into the water. Can't really believe how relaxing that is until I took time to do it.
Doesn't that smore look yummy? I almost want to lick his face just for the chocolate!

Love the pictures Carly!! They are awesome! I see that there are 3 other little boys just like Tys and Ry - funny faces. While I was weeding today - i got thinking that we need a firepit in the back yard for when you guys are here. So, am going to work on that.
