Best thing about Summer is the fresh fruit you guys!
…Staycation At The Chilliwack House
We’re all about the staycations! Always really have been but with the latest effects of COVID, this year even more so. A few weeks ago myself and three other girlfriends of mine decided we could really use a girls night out. So without travelling to far away we decided to bunker down at The Chilliwack House for the night. Just us girls!
…Twirling My Way Through The Rest Of The Summer
I found the perfect twirl dress!
The Summer Collection by Emma Knudsen has launched and this Charlotte Dress. It’s perfect, with puff sleeves, flow bottom, delicate square line and pockets. Yes, you heard that right. Not only is it the perfect twirl dress but it also comes fully loaded with pockets. Comes in Navy, Faded Rose and White.
…Summer Swimming At Cultus Lake
Every year this is the place to be on hot Summer days! Lucky for us it’s right in our own backyard. But making sure to get there or after the hectic crowds is our specialty! We’ve kind of perfected it at this point. It can get very busy in this area, so we normally scoot down just before bedtime letting the kids get an evening dip in. Still so late in the evening it’s still been very hot and very sunny so its been wonderful this year!
…Scenic Route To Alpine Meadows
This little drive (well little for us) is one of my favourite drives to take every Summer because it leads us to this beautiful view of Manning Park. This little gem of a spot is Alpine Meadows. Located just across from the main lodge at Manning Park. It takes you up a windy road to this. We always stop here and enjoy the views before heading up the road a little further. Coming here every year reminds us even more just how thankful we are to live in this wonderful area!
…Cultus Lake Flower Festival
Another year, another Summer and another visit to Cultus Lake Flower Festival! We had so graciously been invited this year to visit again and us girls were over the moon and literally couldn’t wait to explore the fields of flowers. Last year went so amazing so of course we had to go back again and see this years flourish florals.
Located in Yarrow just a 5 minute drive from Cultus, nestled right close to mountain ranges lives this beautiful place. Locally owned and grown, this flower festival is one of my favourites to visit. Not only can you find a bizillion little and big flowers but it is also such a chill and relaxed place to enjoy while watching the sunset. Located in just the centre of it all are picnic tables and a spacious grassy field to wander around.
I love love love flowers of all sorts and wish that I had a green thumb. I do not. So this place gives me all the excitement. Randomly spread around and it has this special neat but also scattered real feel to a wildflower feel that I’ve never experienced before other than actually being out in nature. Cultus Lake Flower Festival gives all kinds of serene feels and it’s just a great place to spend a Summer evening.
…Summer Evenings Enjoying Crescent Beach British Columbia
These little moments enjoying the beautiful places in our own backyard are crucial this Summer with the Covid happenings. We are making every stitch effort we can to still enjoy all the little moments and places that are so close to us including this beauty little spot Crescent Beach.
I say Crescent Beach British Columbia because there is actually a Crescent Beach in Nova Scotia that Drew and I use to visit quite often when we first started to date and it became a special place to us! We even did our wedding photos there!
One day last week we finally had a glimpse of sun and nice weather so my friend Kaila and I packed up our kids one evening and ventured for an adventure! hahaha It was a really sweet time and I’m so lucky we had the chance to spend that time with our friends just exploring and taking it all in. I love spots like this and glad we have this time at home to start taking advantage of exploring here more often creating memories.
While here we both took the opportunity to also snap some really cute pictures of our kids together and they turned out so lovely. If you’re in the mood for a little getaway Blackie Spit & Crescent Beach makes for a sweet time. It is the best photography location, literally perfect photo spots all over the place. Just down the road little spots to grab coffee and treats. We will for sure be heading back again this Summer to enjoy some more views and sand in the toes!
