| Jackie and his parents came to visit us on Quadra. It was a wonderful week that went by way too quickly. This is part 2 of a 2 part blog entry. Part 1 will follow. This program is driving me crazy! |
 |
| Jackie contemplating |
 |
| When grandparents baby sit...stuff baby in a hamper. |
 |
| Cover with blanket |
 |
| Let baby run naked |
 |
| Let baby play with his V reader - naked. |
 |
| Apple picking time. We are picking transparents which are good for cooking. I am making apple chutney and also freezing apples to use for porridge and desserts. |
 |
| Time out to inspect a pumpkin |
 |
| Everyone picking |
 |
| Jackie thinks they a good just off the tree. |
 |
| Our harvest |
 |
| Taking apples to the shed |
 |
| Thad preparing the apples for the first annual Apple Bocce contest |
 |
| Pacing off after a toss |
 |
| Making a toss |
 |
| Mine is closer |
 |
| Another toss |
 |
| Ready to ride in the Husqvaran wagon to the beach |
 |
| Ride with aview |
 |
| Hold on |
 |
| Taking oysters back to the beach. Can't eat them, red tide! |

 |
| Legs are more fun to paint than legs. |
 |
| Ta da! |
 |
| Hiding from the HOT sun in the tent Thad built. |
 |
| Rowan's 4th birthday party. It was a pirate theme.. How lucky Jackie was here to join in the fun. |
 |
| Baby Ru, the newest addition to the Sutil Road neighborhood. |
 |
| sisters Nancy and Jill. Jill is wearing baby RU |
 |
| Nana Val and the pinata she made for the party. |
 |
| The birthday boy takes a whack. |
 |
| Jackie takes a turn. |
 |
| Ahh, nude pinata whacking. (Miwa in action.) |
 |
| The boys checking out Rowan's computer |
 |
| Another treasure hunt. This one's clues were balloons that match a piece of paper with your name on it. |
 |
| Miwa in her Chinese dress and pirate hat |
 |
| What a party! Besides a treasure there was a sandbox... |
 |
| And a pool. |
 |
| And then Nana Val's pirate ship cake. |
 |
| Delicious! |
 |
| All too soon it is the last day...Much more interesting than the last walk to the beach was a large slug. |
 |
| "Hi slug, what 'ywe' name?" |
 |
| We had a farewell lunch at Moxie's in Campbell River. This is the dessert that comes with the kid's meals. Jackie wasn't too sure what to think at first. It is a shrimp cocktail dish with ice cream in the top and dry ice in the bottom. When it is served the waitperson pours warm water over the ice and look what happens. What a great idea and what fun. I'm going to get some of those dishes and some dry ice! |
 |
| Sleeping in the car on the way home. The Huaqvarna cap was a gift from captain and was rarely off Jackie's head. |
