Kayaking and Hiking makes the greatest Saturday

beautiful skirts

Two weeks ago we had Saturday off, which is very rare. We planned to sleep in and maybe go on a hike. However, the lovely Amanda Jensen called us at about 8AM to see if we wanted to go kayaking up in Fraser with her and her mom, Becky! We were told that they would come pick us up in about ASAP. We shot out of bed and got ready as fast as we could.

Becky and Amanda picked us up with delicious smoothies in hand for us. We then drove to Fraser which is the Canadian border and man it was so beautiful up there on the lake! It was WONDERFUL! Ashley got the privilege to do the peddling and paddling around was great. We went from one end of the lake tot he other. It was a couple of hours of paddling fun!

It was really cool to just relax and enjoy the scenery. We would occasionally stop paddling and soak it all in. We would chat with Amanda, Becky, and one of the tour guides. We had a pretty good tour group where everyone did their own thing but stayed all together.

All of us!

Afterwards, we came home and went out to to the Saturday market to get some of Rocky and Lil's homemade fry bread! It is so delicious. Amanda helped out and afterwards we went back with her to the border so we could go hike International Falls! International Falls is a hike through waterfalls and you basically go out as far as you want. It was nice weather, a little overcast but it was really nice out.

We went decided we wanted to go down to some of the waterfalls and  we got off the trail so getting back onto the trail was an adventure because we had to walk through the water and with the rocks being so slippery we had to find the perfect place to go walk through. It took a while but finally we just had to get into the water! Surprisingly,

it wasn't that cold, our only concern was not to fall in and get totally soaked.

Off the trail!

Overall, it was a great Saturday and with only a few left we hope to keep having these great adventures!
