Painting Pottery

Last Saturday,  a couple work friends and I went to Fire Escape in Bowness to paint some pottery.  I've been to other pottery painting places before but this one is the best.  It's owned by a super cute couple who've been running this studio for over 15 years.  All of the staff are really friendly and helpful.  If you ever want to paint pottery, go there!

My mug before firing.  Thanks to my creative friends for helping me with the black detailing!

And their masterpieces... a super cool coaster set.

Gorgeous tea light holder.

Easter Weekend

We spent our long Easter weekend in BC.  Friday we drove through Kelowna and stopped at this mini race car track.  It was pretty cool.  I was scared at first but after a couple times around the track I was going pretty fast.  Of course, the guys were super fast right away!

And now all the pictures of the kids, easter egg hunt, and cake.  I'll just let the pictures tell the story.

Mexico!

At the expense of my poor dad who had to have his appendix removed, I got to join the rest of my family for a wonderful week in Mexico!

Our first supper at the Mexican restaurant.

Tennis courts.  We only played a couple times because it was so hot!
