Another week in review......

Let me start this post by thanking all of you for your wonderful, kind words of support. I hope my employer is checking up on me and takes the time to read your comments and sees that I do respect people's privacy. Anyhow folks thank you so very for your support.

Now on to some fun. We haven't been as active lately with our outings. Hubby is moving his shop so that is taking up our play time, and the weather has not been very conducive to water sports, but we have found some time to get out and about.

Friday we decided we wanted to go play mini golf at this new place not far from us. I played the best mini golf I have ever played...and darn it all .....hubby still beat me.

Such concentration and style! The gallery goes quiet....shh

After golf it's off to Dairy Queen for Blizzards. As I mentioned the weather has not been that great this past week, but I wanted to encourage the kids to be outdoors. My youngest daughter suggested to the boys that they build a fort...they kinda got into it, but eldest son found he preferred climbing the tree instead. Youngest son not wanting to be outdone by his older brother climbed as well. Youngest son is fearful of heights so for him to get up there was a huge accomplishment....again he is over coming some of his fears. He was so cute. He kept calling out for me..."come see come see where I am....see how far up I am" oh the sense of accomplishment he got from doing that made me beam.

Can you see him peeking out from the tree branches........

Look at that smile......it says a thousand words.....

Youngest son and I had a chat after he did this climb. We had suggested a little while back about trying indoor rock climbing...but youngest said he was to afraid and didn't like heights....so after he climbed the tree I asked him how he felt about rock climbing now....."oh I can do that" was his response.....yippee I say!

Back to tree climbing. Eldest son thought it would be a great idea if he took my camera up the tree and took some photos of the view of our place from his vantage point.

The mountains in the background are known as the coastal mountain range...the body of water is part of the Pacific Ocean.

Well after a busy day of tree climbing nothing could be better than a little R&R. So youngest daughter and I thought it was time to give everyone a facial........
Eldest son doesn't look to impressed....well if you think this is bad.....look at hubby....this picture reminds me of Uncle Fester from the Adam's Family.....what do you think? They were all such good sports.....especially when they knew I would post this on my blog.......

Yesterday, hubby, father-in-law and the boys made a trip to a place called Gold River. They were taking a boat up there for someone to rent to go fishing. Gold River is about a 9o min boat ride from the open Pacific Ocean....it is absolutely breathtaking. They had a very early start yesterday as it takes a couple of hours to get there when one is hauling a boat. Anyhow, at one point of their trip, nature was calling and father in law needed to commune with nature. Unfortunately, whilst father in law was taking in the sights....hubby who was sitting in the truck calls out to his dad "dad you might want to get back in the truck"...."why is that" FIL asks....."well dad, nature just might be getting a little to close to you...." "what" FIL says. "A bear dad....there's a bear just a few feet away" and lo and behold there was Mr. Black bear just sauntering around.....

The photos of the mountains are the Inland Island mountain range....this lake is called Upper Campbell lake.

So there you have it a review of the past week. Hope you have enjoyed it.....
