Newgate

BC's South Country is gorgeous! Sand dunes, beaches, water and lots of room to roam. I'm hoping next summer will provide a bit more time for me to explore down there.

After taking in the Remembrance Day ceremonies here in town, Duane and I headed south with Tyler and Alisha for an afternoon of exploring and skeet shooting! It was absolutely gorgeous out and we didn't want to waste our day off inside. It turned out to be a little chilly by the time we got to Newgate, but we were still excited to shoot. It's been awhile since I've picked up a gun, so my aim was pretty terrible. I do think I actually hit a couple clay pigeons though! Since I don't really want to take the blame for such terrible luck, however, I think I'll blame it on my eyes. My vision seems to be pretty wonky these days. Them's the breaks for getting old, I suppose. Or something.

Halloween Hiatus

Duane and I went out quadding with our friend Tyler this past weekend. I was like a kid in a candy store, I was so giddy! I think I probably grinned the ENTIRE time...even when then wind was whipping my bare face. I forgot my sunglasses, but I pretty much didn't care :) It was all good, and it was a GREAT way to avoid all the halloween hubbub in town.

Things got even better once we hit snow. I LOVED being up in the snow and the fact that my toes were frozen didn't matter much. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I actually feel sorta bad that Duane had to drive the whole time and I got to look around and take pictures. He didn't seem to mind too much, and he did a wonderful job driving! I can't wait for winter!

Here are a bunch of the pictures I took while we were out. If you want to see them bigger, just click on the picture!
