I feel so much gratitude for an amazingly unbelievable and epic experience yesterday. We headed over to the mainland to spend the day with our dear friends Karen, Volodya, and Amalia. I went for my first ever helicopter ride! I am fearful of heights and usually prefer to keep my feet on mother earth, so this shows the confidence I have in Volodya our pilot! We went to a beautiful spot north of Stave Lake for a lovely picnic.

Before we knew it, it was time to get going.

It was the most unbelievable experience! I can honestly say I will never forget it and am so grateful for the opportunity to spend time with a few of my favourite people doing something AMAZING!
