Last bits of August we were excited to have a playmate every day as he visited with us till school started.
Comraderie for Aidan. We all made it to this game as a family and Mary had lots of fun too.
Watching Dad picking the figs that harder to reach.
Canning our figs that we picked from our huge fig tree. We made Jam and desserts. Some ended up being sent to High Level AB as gifts.
Playing in the pool under the fig tree. Practicing water safety with baby brother.
Early bricklaying lego skills The children helped us stack a 100 or more bricks that we were given. THey had to stack them into a wall tightly together and in a balanced manner.
Reconnecting with our friend from the Lego Robotics team at the Surrey Educational Conventionthat we met when we were having Robotic classes at our school Resource Center. We got to drive one of the vehicles.
Painting with colors of choice.
Aidan pencilling in a spaceship, astronaut and comet onto his ongoing bedroom wall Mural!

Enjoying our gardening. The veggies were good enough to feed to the Bunny.
Boat ride.
Almost like a Dream!(Thank you Uncle and Aunty for allowing us to share in this beautiful place! )
Enjoying Anvil's Beach front.
A baby seal was alone by the Anvil Island Dock. The Camp Marine and Life Guards asked us to step back and be quiet as they followed Marine Protocol for the Aquarium. We noticed that the Seal pup barked like a dog!
Kids waiting in Lions Bay for the small Anvil Island boat to carry us over to the Camp that runs weekly camps all Summer. The ride takes us out into the ocean and through the Queen Charlottes and is breathtaking. We otherwise would probably not be able to take in our Northwest scenery in such a manner! We were privileged to be able to spend a day on the Island in good Company.
Our raspberries that we will make into Jam
My loved ones exploring the tide pools!
