Thanksgiving on the Island

We went to Vancouver Island for Thanksgiving to visit my super wonderful grandma, Mama. We had a great time and I'm just really slow at posting these!

We had our Thanksgiving dinner of lasagne and pumpkin-swirl brownies on Saturday night. Yum!

thanksgiving dinnerDad, Kelsey, J, Alex and me...

bathed babyJ had a bath at Mama's (great-grandma's bath tubs are apparently very exciting...more exciting than the bath tub at home) and was just so excited to be there...Mama, my parents, and Kelsey are most certainly some of J's favourite people!

run kelsey runOn Sunday morning, Kelsey ran the Victoria marathon...look at that smile!

marathonersAnd look at all these people!

don't try this at homeWhile we waited for Kelsey to finish, J ran around beside the museum with her stroller...don't try this at home! Or at least, don't try this with a kid in your "lolo buggy"

big spiderWe found a big spider...I thought it was cool, J ignored it, and Alex got as far away from it as he could!

cheering for auntie kelseyJ spent some time cheering hard for Auntie Kelsey from a special vantage point above the crowd.

treeThere happened to be a cool tree to play under.

a girl and her daddyAnd J appreciated having some special one-on-one time with her daddy.

on a missionBut she was on a mission...once the race was over, she had something in mind...

found her auntieShe was looking for her marathoning auntie. And she found her eventually and brought her back to see the rest of us.

We stayed in some little cabins a few minutes from Mama's house...there was a great view...

early morning....even at the crack of dawn!

dandelion wishesJ learned about blowing dandelion fluff and making a wish (maybe she didn't quite understand the concept of a wish...)

the view
Nice view huh?

We had a great weekend (scary stuff aside)....it was nice to come home though!
