Invermere, B.C.

For the August long weekend we went out to Invermere BC with my family. For those of you who don’t know where that is the best explanation I can give is that it’s inbetween Fairmont Hot Springs and Radium. From Lethbridge it’s normally a 5 hour drive but for us it took about 7 with stops to pick up Matthew; my sister’s boyfriend, letting the kids pee, blah blah blah it was a long drive. It was raining through parts of it but we were able to spot the brightest rainbow i've ever seen. Unfortunately this picture really doesn't do it justice! But thankfully the drive was rewarded with a tasty meal and great weather for the remainder of the weekend. It was really relaxing! We were able to go to the market where I picked up some delicious blackberries (yummy) which we ate on Vanila ice cream while everyone else was out, muahaha. The kids enjoyed the slip and slide and we set up the badminton net where Ryan and I kicked some serious butt. The boys also played a game of sepaktakraw which is a Malaysian form of soccer in the youtube clip below (I suggest taking the couple of minutes to watch it... they have some really amazing moves!). We also rented some canoes for a couple of hours and coasted out in the wetlands hoping to catch some otters and although we came out of the mission unsuccessful we were able to see a Blue Heron taking flight out of the reeds. Thankfully our ride home was much shorter with a dinner stop at the White Spot, mmm.

So for those of you people who have no idea what sepaktakraw is I thought I would add this youtube clib of a game. It's kind of older and long but it's got a pretty decent commentary so if you have a couple of minutes check it out!!
