We have been spending a lot of fun time with the Burdge's and making some fun memories. Thursday night this wonderful family went to Vancouver, stopped over at Ikea and picked up my bookcase that I have had my eye on for a long time! They even came over to drop it off and set it up!! Now that equals some good friends!!!
Saturday Steve and Meeko headed out early and picked up Chris to go gold panning. Unfortunately they did not find enough to buy me any new diamonds... but they had a good time! Sharon picked me up and we hung out all afternoon at her place. Two little girls were dropped off late afternoon as they were having a sleepover and Danika hit it off with them instantly. They had a great time together, and Danika made a couple new friends! When the boys got home we snuck away to watch a movie we have been waiting to see! We both read the book "Dandelion Dust, by Karen Kingsbury" which was awesome and a crier, but the movie was quite slow and disappointing!!
Today we went to church, then drove up to Victoria to head to the Royal BC Museum. It was so awesome! Danika LOVED the mammoth. At one point Sharon and I were going to run up to it and get a picture taken with it, but Chris sternly warned us that an alarm would go off.. he scared us pretty bad, in the end we did set off the alarm, but it was one of the kids... not us!! Danika thought the mammoth was real and told me he wasn't moving because he didn't want to hurt us, and then the rest of the day kept asking if we could go back.. we didn't and I felt bad! It was a very neat place. After the museum we walked over to the Old Spaghetti factory for dinner. It was such a beautiful day and wonderful to see all the cherry blossoms on the trees.. tulips and daffodils bloomed and actual warmth. The girls both did really well today, and Adessa was sooo fun! At one point as she was walking around we all were looking for her and I got to the panic stage yelling her name, and here she was hiding between two displays with the biggest grin on her face... what a little stinker!!!
On the way home we stopped and picked up an ERGO baby carrier for Adessa. As we really want to start hiking again and the back pack we have is just too heavy for her. So I am really excited to give this a try... Hiking here we come!!!!
Danika catching daddy picking this guys nose.... real mature!
