We have lived in BC now for 1 year. We are still acting as though we are tourists...a good way to appreciate everything!

Lucy & buddy Ethan


Beautiful Baby who talks!! Ok there is a story to that comment...Zig and Isa were getting irritated with Lucy doing something and here's how the conversation went:

Zig/ Isa - "Lucy stop acting like that"

Lucy- "I'm a BABY, you have to be nice to me"

Zig/Isa- "You are not a baby"

Lucy- "Yes I am. I am a BABY who talks"

Salmon Arm..and hand..and leg


I had a fabulous weekend in Salmon Arm at the Roots and Blues festival.
There were so many wonderful performances. My favorites were The Weakerthans (from Winnipeg) -www.theweakerthans.org/ Johnny Clegg-www.johnnyclegg.com/ , and DigginRoots www.diggingrootsmusic.com/ The shows were facinating to watch and the music was so great!
I met my friends Gloria and Diane there. We had a wonderful weekend - ate too much , and didnt sleep enough but we had a wonderful time.


Grouse Grinding...


Josh, Tim , Sandy, Ariana, Sasha and I ventured out and did the Grouse Grind..
everyone made it up successfully. Anna and Sasha were super tough and
had no trouble...The oldies were a bit more out of air!

Deep Cove!



Just some pictures at Deep Cove. Deep Cove is a cool little area just east of North Vancouver...lots of kayakers, little cool shops and ice cream!

Summer Breaks!



Okay , we have had a crazy busy summer...and thats my excuse for the lack of updates!! I am going to do update in a few different posts here..with groups of photos..

Not sure where I left off but the Debreuils drove out and arrived mid-July..It was great! Micha and Isa were so happy to see each other and chose to dress like twins for the main part of their visit. Josh went to Seattle and Victoria with Billy and had a great time. We did so many great things, but in all the best thing was visiting and catching up with everyone. Lucy claimed Ana and Sasha as her "friends" and Isa and Micha never left each other's side. It was a wonderful visit! I am uncluding some pictures too but there are some highlights that were pretty funny...



We all went to The Spanish Banks (which was amazing ) It is the nicest beach in Vancouver, with beautiful sand, and beach that goes on forever (when the tide is out) So Christine, Her cousin Kimberly and all the kids were playing in the tide pools, having a wonderful time, and were checking out the crabs, worms and various other sea life. We came upon a giant red jellyfish and it was so neat so I encouraged all the kids to touch and feel it. I pushed it along with my feet and felt the body of it (very cool) Well, we all decided to hike back to the main beach as the tide was coming in, when all the kids started to complain of stinging and pain of the ankles and feet...Not sure what they were talking about, we continued on to the beach where we realized we had all been stung by the jellyfish.....so DUMB!! Dumb prairie folk eh!??? We also had little seals popping up where the kids were swimming..likely interested int he kids laughter..It was the best day!

I am including alot of pictures...so please wait for the loading of them.
