Chilling at Harrison

This is the first day in 25 days that I have not uploaded a video. It feels weird.

Okay fine, it feels nice.

I love doing VEDA and VEDUC and Vlogmas, etc but there’s always a significant feeling of relief when they’re done.

Anywho, still in BC. Today we woke up, in our fort of course, and my aunt came back to the house and made us all breakfast! Very nice of her! That’s one of my clearest memories of our summers visiting family in BC, Auntie C making pancakes for us, always a highlight.

After that we packed up overnight bags and our whole party drove down to Harrison Hot Springs. We’re quite a large party, Grandma, Grandpa, Amy and I, cousins J and T, T’s friend C and J’s girlfriend, and Auntie C and her boyfriend and his two kids. It’s super fun! We’re staying overnight (hence the overnight bags ;D) and all us “kids” have two adjoining rooms that we share and then the four real-adults have a room.

The hot pools at Harrison are pretty neat, they’re outdoor pool but they’re super warm and they’re mineral pools and I don’t actually know a lot about them but they’re cool =D

This evening we all went to the fancy restaurant in the hotel. There was a live band playing jazzy music (which was great!) and a dance floor in the middle and tables around the edges. Between courses members of our table would go hit up the dance floor and boogy around a bit before the next course. At one point Amy had been dancing with our cousin J and then they were coming back to the table and he was going to take out his girlfriend for a dance but as the passed this older couple sitting at a table by the dance floor the older lady jokingly asked Amy to ask J, “If he could handle two”. Amy being the social butterfly that she is stopped and had a grand ol’ chat with them (in the process explaining that she wasn’t being dumped but was his cousin). When she came back to the table she pretty much had a back story on them. She told J what the lady had said and for fun we sent the two of them back, Amy to ask the gentleman for a dance and J to ask the lady. They both accepted and our table was practically having conniptions as the lady taught J how to dance. It was adorable =D After the song they came back to the table and it turns out it was the couples 56th Wedding Anniversary that day which was super cute =)

Eventually our entire table was on the dance floor boogying to Twist and Shout which was really fun =D Then after dinner a few of us went back to the hot pools for one last soak and we went back up to our rooms. T’s friend C had her laptop with her so we watched a couple episodes of Chuck, which I’d heard of but never seen. It’s a pretty funny show, I might have to get into it =D

Then, very unexcitingly we all fell asleep like obedient children although apparently I practically crowded Amy off the bed…oops!
