We had such an awesome time with Shawn's family. His brother Reyn, wife Heloise and their three boys Thomas, Gavin and Graham, drove out from Manitoba to the West Coast. They spent a couple days at our place. Shawn and Reyn were able to go on a nice alpine hike and Heloise scored on some good shopping while the 6 cousins played none stop. We also got together with the Klassens. We then went to Vancouver Island to meet up with Shawn's parents. We spent a relaxing week playing and enjoying each other's company. I'm going to borrow a few of the boys comments to describe the fun we had. "Can we spend all day in the beach again, without having to go inside?", " I like listening to the waves every morning when I wake up", "Grandpa is a crazy croquet player!", "Those dingies are fun to play with" and most often "Can we knock on the boys door?" , meaning their cousins who were staying next door. As you will be able to tell by the pictures, the fun was endless . . .
Gavin and Ethan were inseparable
Little Graham enjoyed his chocolate ice cream
Playing croquet with Grandpa was always a favorite and we also enjoyed playing paddle ball.
Paddling was enjoyed by all
Harvesting oysters from the beach . . .
. . . and eating them! What an experience!!!
The boys would build a castle when the tide was out . . .
. . . of course the tide would come back in . . .
. . . and despite their best efforts, the water would take over!
But they never gave up, the next morning construction would start all over again!
The sunset from our place!
How fun to hang out with cousins!
Lots of memories made! Thank you my dear family for such awesome times!!
Good Bye! We love you!
. . . and throwing them was also a favorite past time.
And of course, we could not leave without exploring the tide pools
