Fresh Summer Fruits and Fun!!

It's been a long time since my last blog, a camera issue and some good summer fun. In the last couple of weeks we've...

-Gone to Science World to see Grossology (don't waste your money...it was not worth it) and braved the many kids and parents who also had the rocket-science of an idea ;0) .

-Volunteered our truck for use in the Canada Day parade (absolutely NO connection with Christine Caldwell...she's passive aggresive...but get's nothing done!!). The kids dressed up on the Sister City float and we drove the route...we had good fun!

-Cam has practiced his BMX riding and attended the opening of the new track.

-Dwayne and I joined facebook...or is it crackbook...so addictive!!

-We went to a family funeral in Ladysmith and then down to Victoria for a night and then to see the Titanic exhibit (definitely spend your money there!!!), Parliament buildings and the Wax museum.

-Sarah danced at the berry festival

-The kids have attended summer camp at Evans Lake and had a wonderful time...we also had a great time by ourselves!! Dwayne even took me flying over Allouette Lake and other small lakes in the area, simply breathtaking!

-And....we have made our quota of summer jams! First Strawberry, with 41 containers and now today the Raspberry with 45 containers. I only ever make Freezer Jam as it maintains the structure of the berries and also the incredibly fresh taste. YUMMY!! (this is the pic of the strawberry jam pile!) I happened to see Kori Unrau at Kraus Farms, she was totally soaked with her buckets of berries, that's dedication!!

-We held our annual company family picnic at my parents house. There were 110 people there and Dwayne cooked steaks, chicken and salmon for all. My parents were very gracious (or silly!) in opening their home to us for the second year running.

Here are some pics from the last little while. I will endeavor to update better for those that care to read.

Happy Summer days everyone!!
