Although I’m always thinking of cool blog post ideas, it seems I’ve run out of time for posting! I’ve spent the last few weeks mostly outdoors, embracing the summer weather in Vancouver, which has translated into very little screen time. Which, of course, is a good thing. A few things we’ve been keeping busy doing:
Visiting with grandparents while on vacation with them for a week in Parksville
Beachcombing for starfish and sand dollars – we even rescued a few starfish by placing them back in the ocean!
Mini-golfing with the kids and their grandparents – three generations, what fun!
Exploring small towns on Vancouver Island
Looking for goats on a roof, but discovering they had taken the day off
Going on a farm tour at Mooberry Winery and tasting some of their delicious fruit wine, as well as the cheese from Qualicum Cheeseworks
Exploring a Provincial Park and hugging 800-year old trees
Celebrating our wedding anniversary and going out for dinner with my husband
Catching up with friends old and new at the schoolyard
Celebrating my birthday with friends and recognizing how lucky I am to have such an amazing group of ladies as friends
Whew! What an exciting month it’s been so far! Stay tuned for more adventures…







Such pretty pictures! I would love to head north and visit Vancouver Island one day
Now I am dreaming about going on vacation!
Pretty starfish. : )
