Peachland journey begins....

Because we had such a cold and snowy winter we had decided to take the grand parents to a warmer, less rugged part of Canada and we decided on a trip to Peachland on the side of the Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. The climate is milder there and conducive to growing flowers, trees, vegetables and especially grapes which we all know you can turn into WINE !!!! So the grandparents were looking forward to this . However as with tradition to a Gunn's holiday it did come with a bit of activity, or as most people seem to call it...Boot camp!! And no getting out of it.


The trip started early with a wake up call of 5 AM. Kids in their pyjamas with teddy and blanket....they were happy. Quick stop at Tim Hortons for a tea....adults were happy and off we set on our journey. An hour and a half later  at 7am we stopped in Golden for breakfast  and then reset our watches for 6am time change.We then were able to arrive at the Enchanted forest by 9am. I think the Grand parents were in two mind whether to allow James out of the stock and barrel, however they found that they didn't really have a choice!!!

The kids had fun exploring the forest and finding all their favorite fairy tale characters and visiting their houses.
