Happy New Year!

From Vernon it was back to Kelowna, Martin's last hometown. Rather than having to hook everything up (phone, water, cable) at Martin's parents' place we took Don and Nicole up on their offer of their spare room downstairs in their beautiful mansion house. It was a fun time and we were made to feel very welcome. Their two girls, Karleigh (is 5), and Jocelyn (is 6), were a lot of fun and we loved spending time with them. (They really took to Michelle!)

On New Year's Eve Don and Nicole had a huge party which was a great success, especially after a few boozey shots after midnight! We all went to bed around 5 in the morning; even the girls managed to stay awake till then! Needless to say we were all pretty zonked the next day.

Finally, our 10 days were up and it was time to leave for Big White. We were sad to leave Don and Nicole, and the girls, and Mac the dog. The girls clung to our legs and didn't want to let us go and told us that we could "stay forever if we wanted to. They didn't mind". *Mush
