A Night Away

Last night our wonderful friends the Burdge's let us use their timeshare to a wonderful hotel in Victoria right on the harbour. It was such a nice getaway. We started the trip yesterday by going to Beacon Hill Park to the petting zoo. We had lots of fun playing with the goats and chasing ducks. Then the girls played at the awesome park. It was such a beautiful day! While we were at the park we got a phone call from the movie store in Crofton saying they thought our dog was on the front lawn (great thing about living in small towns... everyone recognizes everyone!) Meeko apparently dug a hole in the backyard and escaped and didn't have his collar on, so thankfully we had friends go pick him up! It could have been so much worse!

When got to our hotel the girls had a blast running around and jumping on beds! We BBQ'ed some yummy food (on a bbq that blew Steves mind!) then pulled out the junk food to watch Tangled! Adessa is definitaley not your average child, she does not watch TV and last night was no exception. I even pulled out some yummy treats and still she was running around and jumping on us! She is so full of life and it takes a lot to slow her down!

In the morning we were planning some more fun things, but Steve woke up sick, so we packed up and headed home after a quick pit stop at Costco, of course... Steve was such a trooper, he curled up in the middle of the van and slept, what a man!

Adessa chasing away all the duckies... she loved it!

Danika dragging Adessa across the bridge... she would not stand! I love this photo.. it was so gorgeous! Peacocks were EVERYWHERE! Aren't they beautiful?!

Petting the cute little goats, Adessa was pretty timid in here...I'm thinking of getting a few for our house! ; )

Adessa's view from the room, she loved watching the float planes take off

My wonderful hubby BBQing some pork and pineapple... it was delicious!
It was so nice doing a trip with just the four of us... we had a lot of fun! Danika and I all cozy on her bed watching Tangled
In the morning Adessa helped herself to a yogurt, she is getting so big... almost 20 months!
Danika on her murphy bed, we each had our own room
Big sister and little sister... hopefully best friends one day!
