Our Vancouver Island visit is almost over (tears), but it's been a great time. We've been to Saltspring Island (I could move there tomorrow if John was cool with it), Rathtrevor beach (beautiful place with very silly name- always makes me think of the wrath of Trevor- and who the heck is Trevor?), Chemainus (in spite of small amounts of manufactured charm, I did go to highschool there and it does have delicious baked goods), and Transfer beach, where we visited Martin and Ronni and their kiddos. It was great to see them- the kids jumped right back in to being best buddies! Then there's the walks on the beach and the mountain views- I love this place! Of course, my parents and grandparents and 4 siblings and 2 foster siblings have joined us on our excursions, so we're basically a small travelling village, creating havoc wherever we go. People always enjoy a good spectacle, though, and I think a good plan would be to sell tickets to come and view the world's largest and loudest family. Everyone thinks our kids get their "rambunctiousness" from John, but they would be wrong. My quiet demeanour is a gift to those who are not a part of my immediate family. Be greatful. We haven't spent much time at home, but when we do, John is playing street hockey outside with his "new friends" (aka- all the neighbourhood kids), which is good because then he goes to bed with out fuss and doesn't have all that pent up energy. (If I was an icon user, I would insert sideways smiley face here, but I'm not. I'm not a user!!!) We've also been watching mystery science theater- so funny we cry!
Something else totally hillarious that my brothers introduced me to: tiny plaid ninjas. Enjoy!

I was there the last week of July - mmmm, Gelato!! My favourite store in there is Moonlighting!! what a cool little place!!
I also spent a lot of time in Ladysmith (adore it!!!) and nanaimo (too big of a city for me lol) and then of course I went to vancouver and maxed out my credit cards on Robson (consumer to the max - I'm really an advertisers dream consumer, I'm like, oooh, it's pretty, and there's a name on it - I'll pay lots of money) lol, anyways, glad you're enjoying your vacation!! Loves!
