We started off in Sechelt on Friday to spend time with family for my brother-in-law Matt & sister-in-law Che's birthdays. We went out to SweetWater Bistro In Gibsons for a lovely meal with them & Aaron's Mom Pat, as well as Aaron & myself. Here are Matt & Che enjoying their birthday desserts (which I must say they kindly shared). I also have to say I couldn't love these two any more even if they were my blood family:)
Then Saturday we were off to Port Alberni for a mini family reunion for my Dad's side of the family. My Dad & brother & their families were not there as they were racing that night, but the majoroty of the rest of the family made it. It was nice to see everyone, as it has been years since I've seen many of them. And wow there was a lot of Food!
I'm not sure where my brain is lately as I haven't been bringing my camera anywhere with me & have become completely dependent on my iPhone. Time to smarten up! I didn't take a single picture in Port Alberni. If I manage to get my hand on any I will add them to this post at a later date.
Saturday night after the family get together, we were up to Campbell River. When we arrived we went for a nice walk along the seawalk. The seawalk is one of my favourite things about Campbell River.
Sunday was a pancake breakfast at my Dad's with Dad, Elizabeth, Ray, Kane, Kole, Aaron & myself. Ray takes the kids there on Sundays when he is home from camp, so we invited ourselves as well & they graciously let us join them;)

Kane showing off the wind chimes he made for his Mom Nicole.
Then we headed over to visit my Mom. We got a planter box & some flowers to put outside her window & Aaron nicely arranged them for her. He's a much more gifted green thumb than I am!
Great job honey! Mom loved them & will get some enjoyment out of the bright cheerful colours.
So we put on the miles this weekend. Tomorrow I took a day of holidays so we will sleep in, relax, & maybe go get the kayaks out of storage so we can enjoy some time out on the ocean. Happy summer!
