Hallo faithful readers! So, yesterday we hit Garry Point in Steveston with Granny Gracie! I had a blast! The girls did well and so did Jakers and Zilla (sara's dog). Granny Grace pointed out all the cool things, a sea of lupins (blue flowers), where the kids skate in the winter when it is frozen and all the boats going in and out from the docks! The kids all made for a big hole of dirt/sand and seemed to have a blast! We brought out the bubbles and the big blue ball and watched them romp!
We had some delicious fish and chips for lunch. The kids seemed to really enjoy the fish while I enjoyed the chips! Maeve and Madigan ate the lemons... crazy girls! After lunch, Granny Gracie treated all the kids to a nice drippy, gigantic chocolate ice cream cone! What a treat!! After lunch we took Granny Gracie home and the girls had a nice car nap. I managed to transfer both of them from the car, to the stroller and up into the apartment! Maeve slept until 5!!!!!
Maeve and Granny Gracie went on a walk over the bridge through the japanese garden. I thought this picture was sweet!
We had a family dinner date later around 6. Michael walked from work to the Whitespot on Cambie where everyone had a nice dinner. Uncle Brad, Auntie Sara, Jakers, Auntie Erin and the Clan Mussellam had a really great time! Jakers was a little tired so he and fam left after pirate paks. Auntie Erin, and the Clan Mussellam headed up to Douglas Park for some more play time! Also, to burn some steam since Maeve slept until 5! Here is a rare pic! All smiles! Even one from Madigan!!
I had a really nice day yesterday. I sure do love my family! Erin is so happy and in love and beautiful and skinny. Sara and Brad love Jakers so much and we love them all so much too! As much as I enjoyed England, I am so happy to be home. I love being able to go and spend a week on the Island with my family and also have Sara, Brad and Jakers come over here and spend time with them too! ! Family time is just the best and I'm so lucky to have you as my family! I love you all very much and I'm so happy we have the luxury of proximity!
