Phone Dump

Here's the rest of August from my phone.

Ashlie and I hanging out - not really sure what we were up to.

Elisabeth's birthday dinner at Montanas.

Shades of poker night - give 'em a few more years?!

Elisabeth and her hair chalk.

And this is so very typical of her.

The weekend after we got home from Europe, we went camping with the Lyths and Goldstones.

It was "Halloween in August" that weekend, and the kids got to do a whole bunch of activities - like carving pumpkins.

And riding these machines.

Which - I can't wait to go back just so I can ride one again. SO MUCH FUN.

Katherine like it too.

Then the kids got to dress up and go trick or treating!

Lizzie was a mime.

Fan girls!

Raggedy Ann and an artiste!

The burgler attacking Jade.

And an amazing sun set over Fort Langley.

More from the beach the following week.

Another Beach Day

I asked Kandace if she had plans for Saturday night. When she asked me what I had in mind, I replied, "sunset at the beach."

I'm so lucky, Kandace jumped at the chance to go back and spend the evening there. We grabbed Subway and set up shop in a prime location.

These two are at different schools this year. They hadn't seen each other in a week - maybe more. And so they talked non-stop all the way to Crescent Beach, gulped down dinner and then charged off to play more. Griffin was here too, and I'm happy to report that even though there was an odd number of kids, there was no odd man out. These pictures are from when Kandace and Griff went for a stroll down the beach.

David finally noticed I was stalking them with my camera and charged.

And then they started hamming it up. Matrix jumps:

And fight scenes. Once they'd done one, they had to stage more.

Then I persuaded the boys to let me take their pictures.

I told him he was handsome. So then he only made derp faces.

This one's just all hamm all the time.

Like mother, like son...

Great night.
