Kelowna's 2nd Annual Gingerbread Event Is All About Spending Quality Family Time!

Anytime there's a local event in Kelowna or the Okanagan Valley that involves a family atmosphere I get really excited as a Dad.  I have three amazing children that are quite energetic (there's a major understatement) and they love to do creative types of activities.  This year was no exception when we attended the 2nd Annual Gingerbread Event at the Parkinson Recreation Centre.  The idea is to buy a gingerbread house kit for $25 and then build it with all the materials supplied. The event is a fundraiser for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club and the Red Hot Chili Paddlers, a local dragon boat team.

Last time I tried to build one of these delightful edible projects I made such a mess while trying to keep the roof from falling apart I decided to hand the reigns over to a far more qualified individual...my wife!  As you can see below she and the kids did a great job while I took a much more managerial role in the building process.  Family time is a precious thing and I am grateful for every moment I can spend with mine!
