Road Trip!

This last Sunday we headed up to Parksville for a visit with Uncle Glen, Aunty Tricia and Cousin Kiana at their family cabin in Qualicum Bay and to see the sand castles!

Baboo (this is my nickname for Asher) did pretty darn good on the trip up. We stopped once in Duncan so he could eat and had smooth sailing for the rest of the trip!
We met Aunty and Uncle in Parksville and walked down to the Sand Castles. I haven't been to see the Sand Castles since I was a little girl, in fact the only reason I remember it is because there is a picture of my dad and I standing by one... and for some reason, for years I thought he and I built it ourselves!

After that we drove to Tricia's family Cabin and had lunch at the local diner! The cabin is on a huge property with lots of trails, so after lunch we all went for a walk. I put Baboo in the sling, and Uncle Glen had Kiana in her carrier. After we had walked a little ways we heard something in the bushes which sounded like it was running/bounding at us! We all turned around on the spot and started walking briskly back towards the cabin!

On the ride home, Asher slept most of the way, again we stopped in Duncan for his dinner and while we were there we checked out the Superstore and picked up a few outfits for the little guy! We are frequent superstore shoppers, since it is the grocery store closest to our place, they have such good prices and cute baby clothes! Therefore walking into the Duncan Superstore was like a flash back to what our Superstore used to look like. The layout was the same as ours used to be a few years ago, they had no self checkout, and they still had plastic bags! It was pretty funny...to us anyways!

We stopped and Grandma and Grandpa P's on the way home since they were Abbisitting for the day and found out that Abbi had been whining for us all day, which is strange because normally she LOVES her Grandma and Grandpa's place... my guess is that she just wanted to come to the beach with us!!!

Here are a few pics of the sand castles:
