Grandparentental Obligations Fulfilled

Trip Advisor has named Penticton as having the #2 best beaches in Canada. There are over 4 kilometres of sandy beaches located on Okangan and Skaha Lakes. They have nice clean sandy botttoms with few rocks and weeds. The water is clear enough to see fish swimming near the bottom. With the water temperature hovering  around 22 C and ambient temperatures in the thirties, we gave them a good work out this week.

The month of June was the wettest month on record for Penticton and July did not start out to great. Two days before our grandchildren arrived, the sun came out and stayed around for the entire time they were here. 

With our family spread out across Canada, it is not easy to get together so it is nice when we can capture everyone for a family portrait.  Munson Mountain was the site of our first portrait taken  five years previously. We recreated the picture to mark the occasion. We will do it again in five years. Who knows how much bigger the family will get.

The week ended with a round of golf that included a great view of Penticton and a five year old caddy and golf cart chauffeur. It took Grampa a while to explain the difference between a bogie and a booger. Let it be known to all, that I shot a double booger on the 8th hole.
