Kayaks, long hikes, and mud sharks!

Well, we just all returned from Pender Island. 
I got to kayak for the first time, which was awesome. Loved it as much as I thought I would. Next plan is to buy one and go on the lake as much as I can.
The house that we stayed in was beautiful. If I end up living in a house like that, I'll be quite content. Maybe even more content if it's a lake and not the ocean. But still, it was fabulous. 

We caught lots of crab off the dock and the boys even cooked some up one night and they said it was pretty tasty! 
One day we decided to go check out Roe Lake. It turned out to be a major hike to get to. Pretty much all incline. I don't think the majority of the people were very pleased with the trail, but I was secretly loving it. I absolutely love hikes and that feeling of accomplishment for making it to the top. So I had lots of fun that afternoon, I just wish we had more time to hangout there but it was unfortunately the day that we were heading back home. We got to swim while we were up there to, which I love. If I'm at a lake where I can't swim, I'm not a happy hiker. Ryan says he knows of lots more hikes like that one that we will try and do this summer. SWEET. 
We spent one afternoon on a boat ride with a fishing guide named Mike. We sadly didn't catch any yummy salmon but we did catch a mud shark!! Yes, that's right, a shark! Nothing too large, but it's still cool to say that we got to reel in a shark. Mike was super awesome to. Was funny and had lots of stories to tell. All in all it was a good day. 
The location was beautiful. It was so nice to look out every window and your view was beautiful. It was a nice vacation. It was the first vacation my bestie and I had together for a long time, so that was nice. 



After every vacation, it's always nice to come back home. Especially to my family and my puppy! It feels nice to be back at work to. Yesterday my mom and I visited my nan in her care home. She's been getting worse and worse with her memory and has made visiting her harder and harder on all of us. But yesterday was a great day. She remembered who I was for 90% of the day and hanging out with her felt so good. I love her so much and it's so amazing to be able to still have these good days with her.
 My garden is growing now! It's so awesome to pretty much have a veggie market in your own backyard. Picked a bunch of great veggies this morning. Last night Tina and I had a little date night. We went to menchies and then to White Spot for dinner. That's right, we did it backwords, and it was fabulous. This next weekend coming up is August Long! And what's also great about that, I get to dog sit my fur niece ZOEY <3. I'm very excited.
