Nine day boat trip

Ma and Pa arrived to look after the homestead while we went on our boat trip.

We started in James Bay on Prevost Island. Graham and Jacob rafted with us.

The boys went exploring on their kayaks.

Next stop was Montague Harbour.  We were on a buoy here.  Monet required several trips to the beach. At the dock, she hopped off the dinghy.   Luckily, mommy was able to scoop her up.  After that she had to wear her life jacket.   This is where the boys discovered phosphorescence. (sp?)

Marc and Elizabeth and Monet rode the infamous pub bus while Graham watched the kids.  Lotsa fun!

As the weather seemed to get kind of cloudy, we decided to stay on the dock in Ganges, on Saltspring Island.

This is where Matthew discovered he could fit in to Shackletons wetsuit.

He stayed in the water for most of the rest of our holiday.

David and Clive shared a 3/4 wetsuit.  Maybe this is also Shack's?

Our last stop was a favourite spot, Sidney Spit.  No photos, we really kicked back and relaxed on the dock there.  We saw a couple of otters (I picked up Monet) and a little mouse rode back to Cowichan Bay with us.

At home, grandma and grandpa held down the fort.  Molly got spoiled and even the chickens have a bit of an attitude😉.  Max is here for a visit, so four boys and one dad are out on the boat again.  Mommy stayed home and went back to work.

Starting summer holidays

Monet is getting an attitude. 

Marc has already burned (happy Father's Day)

The boys were invited to swim at one of e's clients place. 

E took the staff to Wildplay. They were much happier AFTER.

David has been begging to go raspberry picking.  Oliver came over and we all went together. 

We spend the evenings lounging by the pool.
