Easter Holidays

The week following Easter, Rachel’s family and us, all booked off a week and did something different everyday. We did quite a bit of traveling back and forth everyday to do the activities, but they were worth it- we had a lot fun. On Monday we took a boat ride on a river, going through a lock which was cool to see. Tuesday, we went to a big lake and biked around it, plus a peninsula, totaling 25 miles!! Wow, were our butts sore the next day from sitting on those seats. Wednesday, we went to the snow dome for tubing and ice skating. Thursday, we headed to the southwest coast and did boogie boarding. The water was about 42 deg!! It was freezing. My hands and feet were numb. Everyone gave up after a little bit of being in the sea (waves were a little slow coming in) but I stayed out and glad I did cuz I started catching more waves. My feet were so frozen though- we got some hot chocolates to warm everyone up afterwards. Friday we went to a place called GoApe. It’s pretty cool. You’re up in the trees (like an ape) about 50 feet or so and there are cables connecting them. To get from tree to tree you have to cross using different ways. Some are cables to walk across, tunnels to crawl through, zip lines, wood planks, hoops, etc. You clip and un-clip yourself to each cable. Finally on Saturday, we all went to see Monsters vs. Aliens 3D. It was pretty crap, but the rest of the week made up for it. This was a really good Easter break for us.
