Where Have You All Been?

Why didn't someone call me??? 

Sunrise: 6:10 AM (PDT) / Sunset: 8:20 PM (PDT)

I left you all a long time ago and I'm really sorrry about that. No excuse. Summer just got the best of me and we just rolled our way through. I will do a "brief" recap (I can hear you all laughing....)

Gotta have this lovely lady's smile in my post

Nadyne, she's the BEST!

Don, Doug & Duane Beglaw (brothers)

Father's Day

Of course I bought a jug of chocolate milk on the

way home from school. Don't tell the parents...

Our beautiful Crescent Beach

My grocery helper....fancy shades

Lunch with the family in North Vancouver

June 25th to July 2nd  We packed up and headed back up to our favourite spot, Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park. Started out a bit unseasonably cool but then the weather smartened up for sure. We celebrated this great country with Canada Day, July 1st.

July 2nd was our 48th Anniversary. How is that even possible? (this is where you all chime in about how "young" we look!! Ha Ha)  

My White Rock crew

Despite the really cold water, Jasper convinced

me to go in... 

All 14 feet of cuteness

Gourmet lunch prep

Back home again. Just spending great days with the boys...

My birthday gift from the boys. Lego "LOVE"

They made me do EVERY step. They supervised!

Off to Campbell Valley Park...

Local concert. Reggae. super fun!

July 13th to 20th  We headed back up to the Kootenays to help out with Rudy while Teagan was at work. Always good times with them.

Forest fires are always present in the summer. 

A sad but true reality. this one on our drive up to the Kootenays.

I will leave you all right here. Lots more to come and I will continue this week before I get more behind again. Promise....

Thought for the Day: Drinking before noon doesn't make you an alcoholic, it makes you a PIRATE!!

Thought I forgot, didn't you?

Well, I didn't forget any of you. Not sure where my time went but it certainly wasn't by working on my blog, was it?

Just in case anyone was keeping track of the times:

Sunrise: 5:06 AM (PDT) / Sunset: 9:19 PM (PDT)

What have we been up to? Gosh, a little of this, a little of that. Just like everyone I imagine. Life just keeps trucking on by.

May 2 to 10: We had a wonderful camping trip up to the Kootenays to help out with Rudy. He is growing so fast. We miss him and Teagan so much when we are apart. 

An old, abandoned VW near the shore of the lake

Rudy loves his pottery class!

May 15 to 20: We no sooner got home than it was time for our annual May "long weekend" camping trip. If you have read this little blog long enough you know I have written about this MANY times! This was a very rainy, chilly few days but we are rugged West Coasters (who happen to have trailers with furnaces). Off we go... 

Doug's brother Duane joined us on this trip.

He even made breakfast sandwiches for everyone. So good!

A rare moment of sunshine...

Beautiful here at Chilliwck Lake Provincial Park

Yet another great, wet camping trip!

June 5th: Rudy turned 9 years old. How is that even possible?!

Teagan & Rudy

Happy Birthday buddy!

We LOVE you SO much!!

Just enjoying life! Waiting for the next camping trip in a few weeks. Should be epic, back up at Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park for a whole week! See y'all in a few.

Peace out friends!

Thought for the Day: You don't become cooler with age, but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way of being cool. This is called the Geezers Paradox.
