Summer in North America 2018 - Part 4 Kelso Conservation Area

In my last post, I posted about our trip to Crawford Lake. On the following day, we had another lake trip but this time was to Kelso conservation area located just 15 minutes away from home. By home here I meant my SIL's home :D




Grandpa brought along his inflatable boat and a couple of fishing rods for him and Miss Kiki. She was very excited about it. First, the DH and grandpa inflated the boat... while waiting, Miss Kiki walked around the area and I grabbed the camera to take some pictures. The sun was so bright!






























At first, grandpa made all of us wear life vests. Then after being in the boat for a while and sweating bullets, I realized that grandpa himself wasn't wearing one! Then he told us that if you can swim it's fine not to wear it, it's not illegal. So, I took mine off and man, it felt really good! :D













After we were well baked in the sun, we asked him to take us back to land, and he went back to the water with Miss Kiki with fishing rods and worms. Meanwhile, DH and I went to explore the path up on a hill with trees on either side of it. Compared to the growth in Crawford lake, the area here felt more like a garden.

Dandelion

















After more than an hour wandering around, we started to wonder how the kid and grandpa were doing. We spotted them far in the distance and there were no signs of them coming back yet. As if on cue, the boat started moving slowly towards the shore...






We got ourselves a little tanned girl grinning ear to ear. They caught about 10 Sunfish and they were going to be food the next day. Miss Kiki was a bit sad at the thought... she wanted to catch them and release them back... Oh well darling, c'est la vie...


















They dried, deflated, and packed the boat and we drove back home just in time for a very late lunch... :)




And that was our day at Kelso Lake, and below is a clip from when we got back to Georgetown.


Stay tuned for the next post!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
