Yesterday we decided to go on a family hike. Hubby wanted to do the loop around the lake, but I wanted something longer so we compromised and did part of the lake loop then cut up and did the Camas Lily Loop.The fields of lillies were gone, but it was still a nice hike. This is the trail, more rugged, uneven, rocky and narrower than the normal lake loop.
We did see many different types of wildflowers on the hike. And these are all shots of them including a final shot of the lake on our way home. The kids did well though the hour and a half walk took it's toll on the youngest. She had to be carried a couple of places, but she made it home! And took a really good nap later on.
After we got home, hubby wanted to check out Goodwill. The kids each brought their wallets and purses. Good thing they had their own money because I doubt I would have bought what they wanted (with the exception of the head thingy. Way cool.) Oldest bought a stuffed German Shepherd. Son found this really cool spygear head-thingy that lights up and Pokemon cards. Youngest got this Barbie thingy that plays music and sound effects. Son gave her the money to buy it which was really nice. 
I ended up with some books. All in trade format. The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler, How To Be Good by Nick Hornsby and To Have and To Hold by Jane Green. I'll add these to my ever growing TBR pile!
Later hubby and I headed to the Canada Day party. I was on the Beavers team. He was on the Loonies team. We played street hockey and burned many calories. Good thing because the food was so yummy. I loved these things called Naimo (sp?) bars. Think chocolate and cream dessert. Yummy. There was also maple fudge and Queen Elizabeth bars. My team one the Stanley Cup by winning the street hockey tournament.
We earned points for our team by playing different Canadian games. The points were tallied before a team trivia competition. We didn't do as well there as another team, but we'd accumulated enough points to win the night. Go Beavers!Hope you had a fun Sunday!
