A Few Things from the Past Week

Last weekend we walked to dinner. We walked through the Chinese Night Market on the way...we plan to go back.

Pretty good deal for some control panties.

An even better deal for just plain 'ol panties.

Mid week we went to the pitch and putt. It was fun. Think I'm going again this week.

Two Americans and One Canadian...Happy 4th!

Happy 4th - we got off to a late start. Needed a flashlight to view the fine meats as they cooked. Started around 10:30. It was a late night... No fireworks photos unfortunately.

Multitasking.

Meghan celebrated.

This is Mitch...you can tell he was down for celebratin' as well.

Canada Day '08 - Fireworks Debacle

This is what happened on July 1, 2008. Got home from the lake, ate some peas, and decided to go look at some fireworks. The fireworks situation didn't work out as planned.


Fruits of the Urban Garden's labor...peas! The plant yielded 6 pods on this day - they were yummy.

Goofin' off at the beach, waiting for the display to begin.

And some more goofin' off...

So we expected to see something along these lines - that's because we read that one of "The Prime Viewing areas" was Kitsilano, which is a short bike ride from home. Well, the below photo shows basically what we saw that night. What a waste... Good thing the Celebration of Light is around the corner...considering how much we love fireworks.

Shawnigan Lake, Round 2

This is a continuation of our recent long-weekend trip to Shawnigan Lake.


This is Moe the dog - he is a friendly little guy and he loves the lake.

Fi, Lizzy, and Meg relaxing lake-style.

Doug is awesome. He owns this boat...and Moe.

Ahh...the end to another lovely day at Shawnigan Lake.

The day wasn't over quite yet though!

On this day we endured a hell of a mission to get the boat in the water for the summer. Once it was in the water, we went to the gas dock to fill 'er up.

We saw some deer, they are agile. The video below is shaky, but shows a bit of deer agility.

Shawnigan Lake, Round 1

We went to Shawnigan Lake for the weekend. Fiona came on Sunday. We didn't go home until Tuesday.


Island bound, ferry folk.

Lake vibes.

This is Meghan's favorite place (besides Frog Wash). Dean - this is the place we went last summer.

Kool Lounge inflation time.

Up close and personal with Kool Lounge inflation!

Operation Kool Lounge in action!

Boat folk - check the video.

Bike Riding & Meats

Got off work Friday and had four days of chillin' ahead of me...why not start it off with a bike ride?

This is the midway point on the ride around the park - great views.

The seat and the bench.

That ship is from Holland.

Ah yes...finally the meats. We BBQ'd to kick off the weekend. The people below enjoyed the meats with us...there were many varieties.

Tamarack, Round 2

Tamarack, Round 2...for your viewing pleasure...

Just can't resist - have to show the other Tamarack sign...it was that good.

If the moon had water, this is what it would probably be like...tidal pools are excellent.

More purple little guys...very shiny.

Meg...not sure what was going on here. Something funny and serious.

Pertty...

Shitty fireworks photo.

Better fireworks photo.

Booze + digital camera + lights = photos like this.

Hehe.

Thai lanterns with the Tamarack crew.

Meghan and I decided to do our own...it was touch and go as we had to chase it down the beach - the photo above and below are before we ran after our Thai Lantern. It worked out in the end.

Lift off!
