Canada long weekend kicked off with a visit to Vancouver Island. The main reason for the trip was to attend the Long Lake Wakeboard Tournament in Nanaimo, but it was also a great chance to hang out with my Uncle and family in Port Alberni.
The two day contest was the first event for the local B.C. wakeboarders. Most of the participants were from the island or Vancouver with a few travelling from the Okanagan. It was a fun two days and all proceeds from the event went to the Nanaimo Child development center. After the event wrapped up the Sunday I caught the ferry back to Vancouver, just in time to see some Canada Day fireworks.
Holiday Monday was a travel day as I heading to the airport and flew into Kitchener. The week at home could not have been better, the sun was out all week and it was hot. I saw many friends and family over the week as I hung out at Lake Rosalind, checked out the Ranch wakepark in Newmarket, visited with my niece and nephews, had a day on Gould Lake and just relaxed. The week was capped off with Jenna and Josh Elvidge's wedding, two good friends since high school. It was a blast and I saw so many people that I hadn't seen in years, big thanks for putting on such a good day.
Here are some photos from the week.
