The summer that was Part 1

While some super star bloggers attempt to blog 100 posts in 100 days, I'm more of a realist. I'm striving to do one post every hundred days. I'm sure my core readership has long since given up, but here you go. It's an official blog post.

It's been so long, perhaps I have already blogged about Rider Lake. It was a day spent lookng at amazing gardens and super cute alpacas.

Sarah and Ella eating el fresco in the 'wack

bathing in the backyard. She's a splash monster!

Shamrock's year-end baseball tourny in February.

Ella's first birthday party at the spray park. The water was so cold, Ella's little chin was shaking. Luckily, dad was there to warm her up.



cake!

The summer that was part 2

Ella giving her favorite auntie absolute GOLD!

And then there's mom, trying to hog the camera

Driving the firetruck

Then it was time for the family reunion. We rented an RV (highly recommended). Obviously this called for wigs and costumes.

First campsite was near Pemberton. In the morning we went for a hike!

The pictures don't really capture the waterfall. I recommend seeing it for yourself. FYI, the trail to the falls is some sort of hot guy mecca.

And this is where I misplaced my camera. Insert amazing family reunion pictures here.

Suds had google earth'ed th entire trip. He had some amazing side trips. This was one of them. Marble Canyon near Lytton. It was 40 degrees, swimming here was the BEST!

And right about now is when the RV's AC just wasn't cutting it. Man was it ever hot.

This was the hottest rest-stop on the planet. I will never live in Lytton.

Lunch in yaletown. Can't remember where we went, but it was pretty good. Or at least the drinks were good. Here's mom hogging the camera again.

These two are music video rockstars

And then all of a sudden Iwas in Hong Kong

Gotta love the Vancity tourist photo-ops

Driving in the car. Ella was supposed to be going to sleep. Mom is yelling at me to not make eye contact so she'll go to sleep.

Whitney and I did a security gig at the BCCOM Gastown show'n shine. It was a stressful job! Whitney got hit on by a restauranteur and cute bikers assumed we were groupies rather than security. At the end of the day, Whitney and I were dying to get a drink.
