5-Sea to Sea (Blackberry fields forever)

Week 5
Days 29 to 35 of a 100 day 
mega road trip across Canada 
(This week we dip into Washington to visit the Hansen family)

Day 29 ~ Aug 25th
A quiet Sabbath.
No hiking, no camping, no jamming, no distance driving.

A quiet day with the Hansen's.

In the morning:
Just a short drive to church.  
(Britni's group of YW sang the welcome 
song to Carolyn...a nice touch.)

In the afternoon:
A stroll around the block.

In the evening: 
A school daze fashion show. 

Some homemade fudge in ziplock bags.
 (Tes holds Brian's racing prize.  His car...well, 
let's just say that it finished!  Woo-hoo!)

Dalia with her new hat and backyard 
grown Volcano Dahlia.  Stunning!

Sleep well!

Day 30 ~ Aug 26th
iPhone 5 replaced
Story time.

School shopping.  (Classes begin Sept. 4th here.)

I got my phone replaced TODAY due to liquid damage. 
It was the dreaded Oregon Mist.  Not a rain, not even 
a drizzle, but this mist killed my 10 week old iPhone 5.

 I was able to recover these final 2 photos from August 15th.
Admit it Shalaun. You loved driving the boat!  
Emy & Audrey were excited to pull crabs out 
of the net & toss the small wins back. They 
encouraged the pot pullers to "pull like the wind!"

Tons of fun!  xoxo

Day 31 ~ Aug 27th
A quiet day.
Hangin' with the G'kids…

I learned the bazooka bubble gum song.
The kids met & entertained Mr. Giggles.
Britni made scrumptious banana bread.
 

Happy landings and sweet dreams!

Zzzzzzzz

P.S. Happy Birthday to 20 year old Darren!!!


Day 32 ~ Aug 28th
Simply berries




While Lane worked to bottle blackberry pie 
filling Carolyn played with G'kids.

What could be better?!

Day 33 ~ Aug 29th
Yawn.
Some days are just more or less exciting than others...
We love this boy! 
and spending time in the great northwest. xoxo

Day 34 ~ Aug 30th
Dig this.
 Digging in the dirt with Rock.


Digging in the sand at sunset.

Digging life as a retired couple.

xoxo

Day 35 ~ Aug 31st
Saturday...
is a special day.
We play in the mud -

 And we work on our Caddy-


We repack our car -


 We share stories with Mr. Giggles -


It's the day we get ready for Sunday!

Good night sleep tight.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
If they do, hit them with a shoe.

xoxo

Next week: The Canadian Rockies
