Cousin time!

 We had a super fun weekend filled with lots of cousin time.  We went to the annual Heath family get together/ BBQ on Saturday, and spent Sunday playing on the lake and in the backyard.

Carson got a little more adventurous while riding the tube with his cousins.  He wasn't quite doing the tricks Jack and Ace were, but he still had a blast!

Jack and Ace also introduced Rylee and Carson to the skate park.  It gives me anxiety watching them, but they love it!  I imagine we'll be doing this a lot more this summer.  

8 Years!

Lance and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary with a kid-free trip to Victoria.  We took a seaplane to get there.  It was absolutely amazing!  There were 10 of us on the plane including the pilot.  I loved it.

We spent the weekend checking out the town, eating and drinking at different restaurants and bars, and just enjoying each other without having to keep the kids entertained.  There were so many little public markets and farmers markets all weekend.  There was a night market Friday night which was so fun.  Lots of vendors selling home made items and different street performers.  Right up my alley.

We checked out the Victoria Royal BC museum on Saturday.  It was really cool. 

We spent our anniversary dinner at a really fun restaurant.  Lance ordered a whole crab.  Delish!

Afterward we went to a really cool bar called Bard & Banker.  It was decorated in "Great Gatsby" style, lots of chandeliers and fun little fancy touches.  Lance made me try a gin and tonic for the first time.  It was actually really delicious with cucumber slices in it!

On Sunday we went to the pride parade.  It was so much fun!  Lots of interesting floats and people!

We just loved the cute little water taxis.  They were adorable and super quick!

We saw a few harbor seals over at Fisherman's wharf.  The were so cute and interactive if you had food to share.

We took the Victoria Clipper back on Sunday.  It wasn't as fun as the seaplane, but we kept ourselves entertained with drinks and cards.  All in all it was a fantastic weekend and a great way to celebrate our anniversary!

Girls night / Boys night

A couple of weekends ago we went to a sleepover at our friend Madeline's house.  The girls had a blast dancing, playing barbies and building forts.  The mom's had fun watching them and drinking margaritas!

Meanwhile, the boys decided to have a "boys day."  They went fishing and then camped in the backyard.  I loved getting all the pictures of them while I was at the sleepover.

Happy 4th of July!

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend.  We went to a BBQ Sunday night at our friends' Dino and Chenda's house where the kids got to play with friends and set off some sparklers.

Monday we went to a BBQ at our friends' Julie and Daniels house on the lake.  It was a cloudy day but we still enjoyed playing beanbag, hanging with friends, and eating and drinking lots.  We went home before the fireworks and the kids passed out.  Such a fun and busy weekend.
