Leavitt Lake

Scott and I have decided that we are becoming professional moochers. It wasn't long after we were on lake Koocanusa that we joined the Leavitts at there parents cabin on lake Osoyoos. It was a beautiful cabin, and a beautiful lake, and we had a wonderful time there. Moses is still asking to go to "Tommy's lake house" as he calls it. There was so much to do there. Of course we went out on the boat and did a lot of wakeboarding. But there was also a pool and hot tub. And some little spray boats the boys went on. And last, but not least, a peaceful beach to lay on and do some serious reading. I finished two books that week!

Our second day there Scott started to have a lot of back pain. He took some pain meds (he has been known to carry a well stocked first aid kit) but was still up most of the night with what appeared to be a kidney stone. He woke me up around 4 am to drive him to the hospital. We had to drive back across the border (the cabin was on the US side of the lake) and to the nearest Canadian hospital with a CT scanner (Scott thought he might need it). It was about an hour away. When we got there, Scott gave a urine sample and the pain went away. He must have passed the stone then. He felt a little foolish talking to the doctor and telling him he was all better. But they sent us home with a smile and some more pain pills, just in case. I'm sure they were just glad they didn't have to scan him. I was glad he was feeling better. But very tired.

Here are all the pictures from our trip. Thank you Leavitts for letting us come and hang at your lake!
