We then headed out to Kelowna for four beautiful sun-filled days. While out there we met up with Cindy's grandmother Anne Cabatoff, and some other relatives from her side of the family. And we spent some time frolicking in lake Okanagan!

It was a real adventure getting home, largely due to the massive power blackout that hit much of Eastern North America but helped along by various other handicaps... however having followed the forest fire news regularly since getting back, we were actually pretty lucky to come home when we did. We're really glad we made the trip though, not only for the fine weather but also for some really nice hours spent together with Cindy's grandmother.
