the run-away olympics - day 6

after our 14 hr trek from calgary to south junction, MB, we slept until 1030am the next day!
we ate lunch at SHAKERS INN, where we were staying (there's a blog post on shaker's inn coming!) we drove the hour & a half to see jonathan's grandpa mcleod..

it was such a great time with him..he was so happy to see us and the kids just listened as he told stories.. we also went to the old church that jonathan's mom's family grew up going to..it was a cooooooooool old building.. :)

road trip to gibsons, sunshine coast || vancouver photographer

when lover was away last week, the kids and i took a mini road-trip to gibsons, on the sunshine coast, to visit my great auntie sandra.

i remember my auntie sandra when we would have ukrainian christmas dinners at my great grandma's house in new west when i was little. i always remembered her as so very sweet and yet sparky and full of life.

she is just the same today as she was then. :)

here's a few pics... and then a link to see the whole lot of them in my fbook album.

enjoy.. :)







more photos here!

ferry fun

we headed up to the sundeck of the queen of oak bay, which is covered, to commence our game of apples to apples. sadly, we were unable to finish it, as the wind gusts began and we couldn't keep the cards on the table. :)

road trip anyone!?

what do you do when your lover is out of town and you can't find a sitter so you can work on the weekend? you thank god for erin's exhaustive list of amazing back-up second shooters and you take the kiddies on a road trip!

it's true..the ever wonderful gabrielle was able and more than willing to take my place as second shooter this weekend, as i had not ONE option for childcare for the kiddies as hubbie is away.

and with a boy that is 11 and a half and "bored" and summer has only begun, i had to think of something to do this weekend we 3 were together so there wouldn't be shrapnel flying.. ;)

well a road trip was in order and where did we go? but to the isle of vancouver. :)

we packed up our night's bags and snacks, asked our DEAR neighbor next door to let the dog out now and then, and off we headed to horseshoe bay to catch the 10:30 am ferry on friday.












the road trip continues....
