One of the highlights of our recent trip to Kelowna was getting to visit Mount Boucherie which is an extinct stratovolcano. L was really looking forward to it and we tried to explain to her ahead of time that it wouldn't look like her idea of a volcano as it was millions of years old and extinct.
On one side of the mountain is this beautiful winery called Mission Hill winery. L couldn't contain her excitement at be able to visit a real volcano until we got there and then couldn't hide her disappointment! She couldn't grasp the fact that there was a winery on top of the volcano!!
However she soon got over it when she realised there was a wonderful grassy hill to roll down.
All we could hear was " Mommy I'm rolling down a volcanoe!"
Here she is doing a cartwheel. She also did some highland dancing while she was there. Dancing, cartwheeling and rolling down an extinct volcano can officially be checked off her bucket list lol!
One a side note when we arrived we asked the girl booking tours if there was any information about the volcano. She asked what we would like to know so my dad asked her when it last erupted. She looked at us seriously and said I think about 60 years ago. Well that was the end of our questions and my parents and I had a good laugh for the rest of the day!!
It was an amazing view and so romantic. I for one would love to go back there some day sans kids to have a romantic dinner and sample the wine....
