We are going camping!!! We set off today for the Fraser Canyon to work on our 49 degree challenge a little bit, swim in Nehatlatch Lake and spend a couple of nights under the stars. We stopped in Hope along the way to visit a new playground. It was a hot day and the ever-present winds of Hope were blowing, but blowing hot this time. Charlotte had a great time in the yellow tunnel in the picture and made lots of new friends. There was a zip line to play on - nothing like the one at Terra Nova, but she still had fun with it! I didn't much like it - there was nothing for her to sit on like the one at Terra Nova, so I was supporting her weight the whole time because she couldn't hang on by herself! There was an elderly couple sitting on the bench next to mine, watching the kids. They were pointing out the antics of this one and that, commenting when a less brave kid summoned up the courage to take on the slide. They seemed to be taking so much pleasure in watching the kids play - it was really quite sweet. There is a little Japanese garden in the park, adjacent to the playground. We stopped to have a look and Charlotte loved playing on the rocks around the pond. The start of a multi-cache called "Tashme" is hidden there - but I happen to know that the final is to be found on the way to Manning Park and we were not going that way today. The playground is located at N 49.22.817 W 121.26.499 and is point no. 134 on the map at the bottom of home page.
