Holiday at a cabin on Mayne Island!

Pete, Rian, Nova and I went for week to one of BC's gorgeous Gulf Islands (in between Vancouver and Victoria)

We LOVED the beaches!

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...

Every year, Pete and Rian do the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life in memory of Pete's Mum, and Rian's Granny, Isobel Bonny.

It was a rainy day but the fire truck was fun! Nanna was on hand to act as photographer!

Lots of balloons!

Afterwards drying off and having a snack in the tent!

A HUGE Thank You to all who sponsored them!!!

Building permit day in Sechelt!

Pete and I took the day off on Weds to visit the Sunshine Coast!

We still act like tourists, not locals eh?! Couldn't miss this photo op from the ferry!

Exciting progress on the cabin we're building - we have an official address and are ready for water hook-up! We met with the Sechelt planning office and opened a file for our Building Permit!

And hurrah! The land is being cleared!

Rick Pearson, our clearing guy, even let Pete play with the big orange digger!

Pete and Rian in the backyard!

Our sidewalk-chalk Rembrandt!

We're just starting the spring clean up of the backyard but that hasn't stopped Rian and his dad from making the most of daylight savings by playing ball before bed!

Action shot!

Pics of our daytrip to the Sunshine Coast!

How many ferries give you this kind of view?!
Rian and Uncle Mike!

We took a short walk in Porpoise Bay Provincial Park (about a mile from our new land) - Rian loved the rocks!

Our cutie!
