CATCHING UP FROM LAST WEEK



Just trying to catch up here before our 35 guests arrive this afternoon for the 6th Annual P.I.G.S (Pasley Island Gong Show) weekend. Will is napping and the kids are playing an intense game of UNO.  I have limited time to spend on the computer, in other words.

So here are some pictures from last weekend with our friends.  Thank you guys for helping us kick off our first weekend of the summer on the island.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

Today Canada is 142 years old!

So far we have dressed in red and white, raised the Canadian flag while singing the National Anthem, ate puff pancakes with maple syrup, painted Canadian themed pictures while singing Happy Birthday to our amazing country...





We officially moved to Pasley for the summer last Thursday which is why I have neglected my postings.  We kind of "disappear" up here. I have, however, already taken hundreds of photos, so tonight I will try to catch up.
