February 2017

In February, we visited Aunt Laura and Uncle Jon on Pender Island.

Pacific coast windup

People who live in glass houses

Bundled up at the beach, proudly displaying seashells

Setting foot in the Pacific

Contemplating the duck

Spoiled kids touring Uncle Jon's firehall

Snazzy helmets and heavy duty trucks

Charlie is a ham. A ham who can roll his tongue.

Like a Robert Munsch book brought to life

Who wouldn't have fun in that helmet?

I just want to know what the spray bottles are for

Charlie and Grandma, one helmet each

Uncle Jon in full getup, easing the kid into the idea

I still can't believe they got to do this

Delighted

Not every three year old gets to do this, you know

It snowed.  A lot, actually.

Picturesque, but also snowy and cold.

January 2017

Apparently I was feeling pretty sick in January and didn't take many photos.  These photos kind of speak for themselves.  In case you didn't know already, Charlie is a goofball.

Pretty happy kids on Christmas morn

New penguin jammies and swim goggles 

New skates

Shopkins.  Sigh.

Anne's homemade sleeping bag for Charlie's beloved Bun-Bun

Mum's homemade quilt for her beloved Anne-Anne

It's a hit.
