Catching up

Lots to share since I updated last, so here goes a potluck of events.
ON THE ISLAND
We decided on a last minute, to spend Mother's Day weekend with Shawn's parents on Vancouver Island. We had a quick but great visit. While there, we visited Little Qualicum Cheesework Farms. Little Tara stole the show. Check out for yourself and see if you would not be smitten by her as well!

Enjoying the fresh air

While walking on the boardwalk, Christian came upon a discarded bottle which was begging to have a note in it and be thrown in to the ocean. So that's what he did. If you find it make sure you reply!

SUN AND SAND

The boys had been asking me for quite a while to take them to our little lake beach. So that's where we headed when the temperatures finally rose this past weekend. I took some extra towels since I learned in the past, that even though the water is super cold (it's fed by melting snow after all), the boys would not resist. They assured me that the water was great, but I'm wiser than that!!! Although it sure felt good to have my bare feet on the sand again. Little Levi also joined our outing, but of course my camera battery was dead after the first few pictures and didn't get a shot of cute little Levi.

SKI TO SEA

Way to go Christian!!

SUNDAY WITH FAMILY

We headed to Mission B.C. to visit our cousins Harvie and Jackie and baby to be. We had a great visit with them and my aunt Louise and uncle Heinz. After a delicious Greek meal we visited a Monastery up the hill from their place. It was nice to witness one of their prayer times and it was a beautiful day to stroll around their beautiful grounds.
