I had a much better sleep last night thanks to a lovely sleeping mask Chris found me at the mall here in Vernon. The sun rises right into my window at a shocking 4 in the morning, so the last sleep I had was not the best... but now I am rested and loving it!!
Had a great day today!! Had breakfast with the in-laws, then changed into my swim gear and joined Papu (father-in-law) by the pool. It was already really REALLY hot at 10 in the morning, so I got into the pool and onto my floaty... well that was the plan in my brain, but it didn't quite work out like that... seems the floaty had a mind of its own and just as I was about to sit on it... it floated just out of reach... I, of course, did not realize this because I was not facing the floaty... so I got dunked really quickly into the very cold pool water... much to the amusement of EVERYONE around me... I did end up getting onto the floaty but it took a couple tries... And then of course I fell off when I was trying to adjust my position... I am so amusing to my in-laws!!! LOL!!
anyhoo... I am definitely getting more tanned... something that I didn't think would happen... usually I just burn... and my legs don't tan at all. Well not this time... well at least my top half anyway!! I'm going to work on getting some colour, hopefully not bright red, on to my legs tomorrow.
Went to the Farmer's Market today - it was kinda pathetic, and it couldn't hold a candle to the one back home... in fact if I could turn back time I would have gone to a fruit stand instead since that's all that was worthwhile to buy at this market. I did pick up cherries, strawberries and raspberries... That'll be a nice treat over the next couple days... It'll go well with the Welsh Cakes that Chris' Great Aunt Mary gave us last night at BP's.
Speaking of last night at BP's... I got a huge surprise as all of the waitstaff stood behind me to sing me happy birthday... my face got so red... but I was very grateful that I had picked a chair facing the wall so not everyone could see my beet red blush!! It was very thoughtful of John and Norma to remember me - especially as I don't think they'll be coming to my birthday bash in 14 days... It was really nice to see great aunt Mary and Jackie... wish we lived closer to our families some days!!
Well back to today... after the pitiful market, we went off to the pitiful Wal-Mart... didn't find much there, but we picked up some more sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses for me (for the pool) and I picked up my all time favorite movie (Pride and Prejudice - the one with Colin {yum-yum} Firth in it)... Chris wanted to stop by EB Games in the mall too, so i hung out in the car for awhile soaking up the sun... but my lemonade ran out so I wandered into the mall to catch up with Chris, who after almost 45 minutes was still in the tiny EB games store... We went to Orange Julius and got a very VERY sweet raspberry lemonade... I couldn't handle the sweetness of it so I gave mine to Chris....
Got back to the hotel and changed into swim gear - I had the idea that I would suntan for awhile, but it was too hot and I just felt like I was an ant under a magnifying glass... this place does have awesome grass to lay on... so cool and spongy!!!
Well that's about all that happened today... Ya'll stay tuned for tomorrow's adventures!!!
