Warning...

This post contains a major photo overload! We have been busy... good busy!

Have I mentioned lately that I love living on the Island? Cuz I do! One of the many benefits of living on the Island is that we are close to family! And this past week we got even a little bit closer as Colin's parents were up staying in Parksville at Pacific Shores... later in the week Aunty Em joined them too!

We took Rupert swimming for the first time in the pool at Pacific Shores. He started out a little hesitant, but eventually got right into it. Although I think he preferred walking around the pool with Grammy!

{eating some fruit with Grammie, bite for Rupe...}

{bite for Grammie}

{just down from their resort was a beautiful beach that we ventured out on to}

{Rupe has recently started walking with his hands behind his back... I wonder where he gets it from...?}

{Another trait Rupert is sure to inherit :D Oh Grampy!}

{It didn't take long for us to make our way into the water!}

{I loooove peonies!!!}

{Lots of elevator rides! Very exciting!}

{We went out for lunch while we were there and were entertained by a big aquarium that included a huge eel! So much fun!}

{Aunty Em... how is she so fierce all the time???}

{We headed to Rathtrevor for the afternoon... My mom taught Rupert that Helicopters... particularly Harold the Helicopter, fly high in the sky.... while we were at Rathtrevor we saw a real helicopter!}

{What is Rathtrevor without a stop at the top of the hill for some ice cream before you leave?}

{Our favorite???? Cotton candy of course!}

{we had a wonderful time with them... and are going to be missing Aunty Em as she heads to Belgium for the summer!}
