Thank you God for friends!

Well, we've come to the end of another busy week. :) I've been trying to maximize time by hanging out with as many friends as possible in addition to completing more packing and keeping up with the housework. I must admit that I much prefer seeing friends than doing chores :)

Last Thursday afternoon, Myra and I joined our friends Tammy and Brennagh for some girl time at Metrotown. It was wonderful to be away from the heat and in an air conditioned building and to replace packing duties for hanging out with a good friend. :) As an added bonus, I even found some tops for myself at Old Navy! We had to take a picture of the girls together since they are sooo cute! ...here they are enjoying a break from their carseats.




Early Friday morning the three of us made our way to Courtney to visit our good friends Mike and Darlene. I really enjoyed relaxing and savoring the sunny weather together. Tim and I found the game "Carcassonne" at a cute toy store on the main street and bought it. It's another German game invented by the same people who made "Settlers" and we love it.

Mike, Darlene and Tim took advantage of the heat on Saturday afternoon and headed down the river in inner tubes. The river is especially high these days and flowing faster than usual so it was a hoot!
Here are the guys posing after their wild river ride :)



Check out the white water!



Today we joined Mike and Janna for lunch at Gina's Mexican Cafe before heading to the ferry. It was great to reconnect and enjoy good food. :)



Now for some cutie petutie pictures...
Myra has started to hold her blanket over her face while falling asleep -- a habit I find adorable. :)





Anyways, time for bed - as this next week will prove to be jam packed as well. :)

Cheers :)
