Ogopogo adventures

My friends Sally and Grace came to visit last week. It was a great weekend, lots of fun and sun and more Starbucks than my stomach and wallet are used to. We bought a few floaties, one of which was a giant green ogopogo because all three of us are avid ogopogo believers. (thats the "Loch Ness" of the Okanagan lake) We live about 1 minute from two quite nice beaches so this is where we spent a big chunk of our time.

I had to steal these pictures off of Sally's myspace because our camera and computer are at odds. I think the truth is that we actually have to buy a new computer because its too old to work with today's technologies. Until we get it working or buy a new one, i'll just be stealing photos and I'm not sure why one is big and the others are small. But still ...thanks Sally jo.


We were desperately trying to blow up this GIANT flower floatie with an air hose fitted with a tire nozzle....wasnt working at all....


Until this nice young gas attendent noticed our stupid efforts and knocked on the window holding up the "floatie nozzle" if you will. Worked very well...this picture captures our delight! :)


I didn't exactly get VIP seating in this car. Thats my face squashed into the ogopogo's bum.

And the giant flower fit nicely on top. In the 1 minute drive to the water, we actually got stopped by the cops. They were just making sure Grace and Sally weren't going to drive back to WA this way!?!


Justin and Nathan trying to tame the beast. As you can see, it actually bucks people off!


Ahhhh...the beach!


We got to hear Justin do some singing and playing over the weekend. He's on a music team but he's only does vocals so i don't get to hear him play as much as before.


If you'll look closely, you'll see that Justin has the magic bullet attachment in his hands. These two were our slushy drink specialists for those hot days!


Ah yes, a hot bunch.


Looking at this picture, I'm surprised we weren't literally chasing men away all weekend. I mean the stunning beauty present in the three of us is almost staggering. Not to mention intelligence. I remind Justin all the time of what a fine catch I am.

Pictures are great but when they are smaller then the average thumbnail, they are just plain frustrating. Tell Grace she owes me a phone call... ~Diana
