MUNGO EATS Latin America

We have been hanging out with the McLean grandparents for the last 3 days.  The weather has not been the greatest and most Okanagan natives are complaining that it has been a very cold spring.  It has rained for the past 2 days, on and off, and it has been cool by Kelowna standards, only about 15 or 16 degrees.  Yesterday we took advantage of a break in the weather to visit a winery.  Today we decided to head west in search of a more pleasant climate. 

We headed to Salmon Arm (actually, more precisely, Canoe) to visit Kevin’s Aunt Geneva.  Aunt Geneva is one of my favourite “acquired by marriage” relatives, although the list is pretty long.  She lives on a small acreage in Canoe, and I just love this little plot of land.  It is a nice mix of woods and field, and I think it is fabulous. 

Kevin has many fond memories of his time spent on the acreage as a kid, and he pointed out all the highlights to the kids today.  This was the first time, in their memory, that they visited the acreage.  I know Sara was there as a newborn, I don’t know if Sean has ever visited. 

After being fed a great lunch, the kids decided to explore the hayfield behind the house.  A fellow usually harvests the hay for Aunt Geneva, but he seems to have abandoned his duties, so the hay is grown slightly out of control.  The kids thought it was great that you could walk into the hay and “disappear” any time you wished.  Here is Sean…now you see him…

Now you don’t!

And the same disappearing act from Sara…here…

gone!

It’s amazing how a simple thing can bring amusement!!

Hopefully the weather will be a little better in the next few days and then we can do a bit more outdoors.  We are only in Kelowna for a few more days.  My Mom is planning on chauffeuring us to Calgary on the 21st (yeah, no more flights!!!).  Hopefully we can make the most of our limited time left here.
