A Jolly Holiday


Building sandcastles with Nana and Grandpa.



Brigham with what he called "girl ears".



Playing on the hammock.



The birthday boy and Auntie Janine at the Pirate Party. "ARRRRRRRR!"



Blowing out the candles. Who's more excited: Brigham or Ivy?



Off for an explore on the lake.



Together: our favourite place to be.



"Look Mom! Fish!"



Outside the aquarium.

We just got back from B.C yesterday after a grueling eighteen hours in the car (hooray for Jason who drove all the way!). Favourite moments include:

1. Ben and Brigham's giddy excitement to see EVERYTHING at the Vancouver Aquarium.
2. Watching Jason play with the boys at the spray park at Stanley Park.
3. Shooting pirate cannons at the Science Center.
4. Celebrating Brigham's third birthday with the family in Osoyoos.
5. Watching all the kids whack the heck out of the pinata.
6. Going for a canoe ride with Dad, Ben, Brigham and Isaac.
7. Reading in the hammock.
8. Laughing over Jason, Neen, Elena, and Pete's swan dives off the dock.
9. The fresh cherries and peaches.
10.Catching up with our friends the Harris', particularly my old classmate Brooke.
11.Grandpa teaching Ben to swim in the lake.
12.Enjoying time both as a nuclear and extended family.

Glad you had such an exciting time together with all the extended family....what memories for the children as well as for yourself. What a beautiful world we live in! Aren't we fortunate. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
