Almost a month…

I can’t believe that it’s almost been a month since I’ve posted a blog.  That’s how crazy my life is right now.  Realistically I shouldn’t be sitting here typing this up, but I can’t resist to post something right now to keep you all on your toes.  I have a lot of events and happenings that need to be put up here.

Today’s post is about our adventures to Ft. Casey.  This was a fun fantastic family filled holiday!  We enjoyed the company of D’s 4 uncles and aunts and a lot of cousins.

We walked on this ferry to reach Ft. Townsend.  Here we watched a 2 hour long parade.  It had some interesting floats and people, but the kids enjoyed it…..until a few of them fell asleep.

They really only cared about getting candy…….

I didn’t take any more photos of the cute little town. 4 little kids…yes, you understand.
The above photos are again waiting for our ferry ride back to the campground, J and I having a snooze because he didn’t want to sleep at night!!!! and the girl cousins doing a puzzle on the ferry.  And of course E having a fabulous snooze after go, go, going all day long.

Thanks to all our lovely family for making this such a great get-a-way.   See you next year?

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
