It has been a long while since I updated, and an even longer while since I posted a new photo album. Enjoy!

Let’s see, my semester of work ended on April 7th, and since then I’ve been fairly busy in my spare time. My sister is now in Comox — she arrived earlier in the month and has been scrambling to get the duplex into liveable condition. I’ll likely visit her this week, or for sure next week for several days.

The highlight has definitely been the visit from Andrea and Annette. I picked them up last Thursday and we hooked up the tent trailer and then drove to Whistler and checked into the Riverside RV Park. The weather wasn’t so great that first day. It was actually quite cold as we wandered around the village exploring the shops and pubs together. And that night after sitting around by the fire and then getting cold, we headed to bed for an early night. It was quite cold, even with the heater running 24-7. But the next day was quite exciting and adventure filled. I let the girls in on what the surprise activity was, and when they found out we were going ziplining, they were pretty pumped. Annette disguised her enthusiasm with fear, but you could tell she was pretty stoked. And the ziplining was really quite awesome. Five lines, and lots of amazing views and thrills. I’d do it again any day.

After the ziplining, we got ourselves ready and went out for Thai food and a drink. We spent the rest of the night in the tent trailer drinking and talking and giggling before heading to bed. Saturday morning we packed everything up and headed to the gondola. We had lunch at the top of Whistler and enjoyed the spectacular panorama — it was a wonderfully clear and sunny day. And then we made the journey back home, where we had Julie and Jess, Lara, Aaron and Dylan over for bbq and karaoke! It was a thoroughly enjoyable night.

Sunday the girls left after we stopped into Dylan’s birthday party (he’s one already!!), and I’ve been recovering ever since. Today I finally feel refreshed again, and I took Brimley and Zara out to Buntzen Lake to run around on the beach for an hour, and they loved it. And now I’m contemplating a trip to Comox to visit my sister. I’m off work until May 5!

1. I think I am also finally recovered! You take a lot out of me…phew! Looking forward to the next camping extravaganza! XO
