Biking at Lower Seymour Reserve!
Our UK friends Sam and Simon love biking so we went into the woods... ok, on paved trails but this path runs 8 km through the North Vancouver mountains!

Simon and Mike took the biking seriously! Simon was a good role model for helmet safety...
Rian just looked cute!

With our new propane fueled Ford F-150 truck, we can transport 6 people and five bikes... kinda...

Eliane came to visit! Our friends Caroline and Jean moved last year to Bowen Island, a lovely part of the world a short ferry ride away from West Vancouver!

The gorgeous Eliane is growing up, adventureous as ever!

For us still living in the urban jungle, we get our nature in places like the Lower Seymour Conservation area, where we took Nova for a walk!

Hiking is hard work on short legs!

Rian and Nova still get along (mostly) well! Giving treats are fun!

Its hard to get a good picture of a mostly black dog but this one turned out well!

But who needs forests when our front garden looks as overgrown as this?!? It was once a nice yard - and definitely on the list of things to tackle this summer!
