Hiking Badger Mountain in the Snow

31 Dec

I was beyond antsy by Saturday afternoon. I went to my mum’s in Richland, Washington for the holidays and after three days of pigging out and  exercise I was too antsy to sit still another second. So my little brother Ben and I bundled up and hit Badger Mountain (elevation 1579 ft). I always laughed at this supposed “mountain” as it is really just a big, barren hill.

But up we went in the snow.

I was very proud of myself because I didn’t get winded at all on this little jaunt. Mind you, I’m used to much higher elevation hikes.

Ben didn’t have winter boots so he just wore old skater shoes. I don’t know how he made it up in those, but he sure had a lot of fun going down! Ha ha ha!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

21 Jun

So here it is.. week 5 of the rainy siege in Southern Alberta. I can’t believe this!

The top thing I couldn’t stand about Seattle was the rain. So I moved to sunny Southern Alberta. Ah! Not sunny now! I went to Richland, Washington last weekend to visit my family. It was great, I brought my nephew and was reunited with my siblings, mum and grandma. We had about a day and a half so we fit in a hike, and a tube float down the Columbia river.

We hiked up Badge Mountain (more like a large hill if you ask me) and shot some golf balls off it. I hit the most amazing shot I have ever done in my life! I also did some shopping, prices are so much cheaper in the states. When I was in Alberta, I was looking at a set of pink ladies clubs for 4255, I bought the EXACT same set in the states for $99!! And if it ever stops raining, I will actually get to go golfing!  Sometimes I wonder if the summer will ever come.
