As any parent of school-aged children knows, June is busy. So I won’t bore you with the details. We had a solid couple of weeks in there where we had a lot going on but don’t have much in the way of photos to show you. I worked several extra days to cover a colleague’s time off and we got a lot of work done around our house.
This is how my children like to play video games together, I guess.
We got some good outdoor time in with some beach swims, paddle boarding, and a few walks.
I had some days off extra time/energy and was able to welcome the girls home with after school charcuterie board snacks.
Peter and a friend did a big hike he’s been wanting to accomplish and the girls and I spent the morning at the farmers market
At the end of the month, once school let out, we booked a last minute hotel in Vancouver near English Bay and got away for 2 nights. We mostly walked around and ate food and it was great. We managed to meet up with my brother and his wife for a meal too. We were staying in the West End and while we weren’t there while any of the World Cup games were taking place in Vancouver, we were there when Canada beat South Africa to go on to the next stage. Before I would have said I could care less about FIFA and the World Cup but it was actually really fun to be in the city that weekend. Lots of good energy and people out and about celebrating.
