Sunday was busy too

Oh, who am I kidding? We're ALWAYS busy!

Sunday afternoon Andrew decided he wanted to visit Tsawassen since we'd had so many nice things to say about our trip with Uncle Dave. We parked near the mall and walked around. I seriously felt like we were on vacation somewhere. These buildings were so reminiscent of being in Whistler.


Turns out this was a Seniors Development that has shops in the bottom and is literally in the parking lot of the mall. While I think this is an awesome idea, I was kind of bummed out that we couldn't move there.







Isn't it gorgeous? I think I freaked out all the seniors. There were a lot of them sitting around chatting and then I came with my talkativeness and camerahappy-ness and they all ran away.

We visited Toys and Tech and spent ages looking at everything in the store, then we went to Albany Books were the kids each got a comic. Then, a lady in a van veered over to Andrew (scared him I think!) and gave us this Radio Flyer Trike. Said she was on her way to the thrift store and did we want it. She seemed pretty suburban mom, so we trusted it wasn't stolen and said a resounding THANKS! Tink loves it!



Then we decided to try and find the beach. Oh my goodness, I'm in LOVE~!


So was Davey.




Andrew was in heaven. There's so much driftwood on this peninsula. He says next time he's bringing gloves and maybe a wheelbarrow for moving the wood.

Me and the kids built our houses on a smaller scale:

This is Andrew's.


Davey put a roof on his.





Cool sea bulbs.
Tink promptly grabbed it and squished it.


There were lots and lots of wild flowers growing too.

And a playground. We might have to move here even if we can't get in the seniors complex!



And someone who did NOT want to go home...

And, here's the garden. The broccoli is growing.

So is the corn.

Here's the broccoli, the leeks and the peas.

And the butternut squash.

The cucumbers.
And a snapshot of the whole garden (minus the herbs, peppers and tomatoes we've got growing on the balcony.)
