Okanagan - Day 6

Another relaxing day at the beach.  Our first order of business was some housekeeping - we went to a nearby laundromat and washed a load of clothes, before going to Safeway and buying some more supplies.  After a quick lunch, we went to a nearby amusement park that had two-seater go-karts and I ran around the track twice - once with Alexander and once with Evan.  Both kids loved the go-karts, and I had a lot of fun too.  The first time out, with Alexander, there was only one other car on the track, but the second time had a full complement of cars, and Evan was proud that we finished third (due to starting third - there isn't a lot of passing).  When Evan and I finished, Jonathan was adamant that it was his turn, but unfortunately, he was too small.

Beside the amusement park was a small rose garden.  Sandra and the older boys walked through it and took some pictures, while I tried to console Jonathan, who was quite upset, and extremely tired.  We went back to the motel and Sandra put Jonathan down for a nap while I took the older two boys to the beach.  They played in the sand and the water for the rest of the afternoon.  Today was cloudy, but still hot, though not as hot as the previous days.  At supper time, we returned to the motel and we all went out for supper.  After supper, I stayed in the room with Evan, as he did not want to go to the beach again, while Sandra took Xander and Jonathan to the beach.

Tomorrow is our last full day at the beach, and it looks like we are in for some very cool weather, with a possibility of rain.  Hopefully it stays away long enough that everyone can enjoy some more time in the sand and the water.
