The Pumpkin Patch

With Tracy and Ed visiting we decided to visit the Hazelmere Farm and check out the pumpkin patch. 

It's a good thing we had our rain gear on we all got soaked. Even with the sideways rain and  blowing wind, it was still a fun time. 

The kids liked checking out the corn maze and we found some great pumpkins.

On the way back to pay the bill once again Clara forgot her purse

Its been over a Year.... time for an update....

Since we have got our new computer set up we thought we should update this blog with some new photos.

This past weekend we all went to Victoria so (Carter) could run in the Victoria 1/2 Marathon. It was a great weekend. It's the first time the kids got to look around downtown. We spent some time in Beacon Hill Park, The Gorge and visted the Museum.

This was just after (Carter's race) nice and sunny tonnes of people...

Clara loved the petting zoo we had to visit it twice. There is talk she plans to be a veterinarian. We better keep saving for school. These are some goats she could not get enough of. They were for sale if anyone is interested? $100 there are a few left.

This was a walk we went on just across from the hotel at the Gorge. There were some Sea Otters and Seals out having some lunch on the water.

 Here is Aidan having some fun with an old phone booth in Victoria.

 Clara looking out at the Otters and spotting some crabs.

 Jumping around a bit here is Aidan last month at the Campbell Valley fair just down the road from our house. Jackie and Clara were with him in the bucket but I thought this was a neat shot.

 Here is Jackie and Clara last month when we went up to Grouse Mountain for a company luncheon with MG.

 Here is the family at the top of Grouse. Just to our right was the Eye of the Wind which is a wind generator we took to the top for even a more panoramic view of Vancouver.

 Here is Clara downtown Victoria near the Empress Hotel.

 Just us snapping a quick picture in Beacon Hill Park.

So that's it for now. We are going to try to update this a bit more frequently now that things are now set up.

Our 1st Geocaching Adventure

Today Aidan, Ed and I went out and had a look for some Geocaching sites while visiting in Gibsons. Geocaching is a outdoor scavenger hunt using a portable GPS. Geocaches are hidden everywhere and has become a world wide phenomenon.

For our first attempt we located two Geos which contained little toys, trinkets and log book. The idea is to find the cache and put an entry in included log book for others to read. If you take a gift you must leave one behind. We decided to not take anything but left two of Ed's business cards inside maybe it will stir up some business.

Here are a few photos while we were out hunting today enjoy.

Summer Photos

We have been living out of a suitcase now for over a month. With all the chaos Summer has still been great. We managed to get some camping in and spent a week up in Okanagan Falls. We spent some time in Penticton and watched the annual parade which the kids loved. Our new house is almost done and soon we will be busy with school, moving and getting settled in. Just a few photos from the past month enjoy.
