A couple weekends ago we headed up to Campbell River to visit family. Drew hadn't been to the island since Ellie was less than a year old! And since the kids are almost always super sick when we are up there I was VERY happy to have him with us. Happy to report they were healthy . . . that is, until we arrived home!
Hiking to Elk Falls. This is such a perfect hike for kids (and me!) - short and few hills.
Drew is carrying the kid, the lunch, the blanket . . . but hey, I have my camera!
The Nobles Canadian Vacation
Last time we were at Elk Falls I was pregnant with Ellie. Now back again with this big girl.
We had beautiful, WARM weather while we were there (an unusual phenomenon on Vancouver Island) so it was a rather odd decision to stop at Butterfly World, which is essentially a hot and humid greenhouse. But the kids loved the butterflys. Jude squealed everytime he saw one (and there are hundreds)
People often tell me these two look alike but I just don't see it - until I saw this photo! Whoa - they are twins!
Back row: Ellie, Gwyneth, Ella & Willa
Front row: Mila, Nora Lynn, Jude & Nicholas
And the best thing about Canada - Family!
We had a huge party to celebrate the plethora of July birthdays in Auntie Dena's beautiful yard. I love that my family loves games - everyone played in the crib and horseshoe tournaments. Drew even won horseshoes - thanks to his 3 ringers - in the dark!
Certainly no shortage of cousins at the party too!
The little ones are ALL exactly 6 weeks apart, we were just missing Lucie. Hopefully one day we will get a photo where they are 1) all in the same place at the same time and 2) will sit still long enough for a photo op!
