Well what do you know I'm late at posting, AGAIN! Honestly, if blogspot didn't take so long to upload photos this post would have been up at least 2 weeks ago. :) Feels like years since May happened! I'm even a little shaky as to what all we did in May. But let me give it a go.
May was, if I remember correctly, an awesome, awesome month. For starters we had the lovely and crazy Josh, James and Rich visiting us from Edmonton for a week. You may recognize them as the youth who came with us to Africa. But now, these boys are all grown-up, college students, with real jobs. (I think they even make more money then I do-ha) Anyways, as per usual, we had such a blast with these crazies, as they are probably the funniest trio that I am aware of. We took them down to Seattle one day and we had an exceptional time.
The tulip festival was alive and kickin on our way to Seattle. We had to stop as these boys LOVE flowers. Okay maybe not. But I just happen to LOVE tulips. They are without a doubt my most favorite flower, and I missed out on the festival last year. So this little detour
may have been for me. But because these boys are so great, they made the best of it.
Then we went to the Outlets on the way, did a little bit of shopping, and then headed on down to Seattle. Pike Place Market was seriously out of control bursting with tulips. I was in
HEAVEN. But its too annoying truckin tulips around with me all day, so I just took pictures.
After the market we sporadically opted to watch a game of baseball at the Saeco field where the Mariners play. I'm not big into baseball, but I love watching any kind of sports live so off we went.
The place was packed. Man Americans love to support their teams. The theme of the night was "Blast from the Past" too or something, so everything was old-school...the announcer had one of those old fashioned microphones, and was dressed up old-school, and the big screen was all crackly and looked like an old movie. I loved it. Sometimes I honestly wish I was born in the 40's or 50's. Man!
The same day the boys left, Danny left for Montreal! Lucky duck. His good friend Jeff was having his stag there, and so because Danny couldn't go to his wedding in Kentucky, he went to the stag in Montreal. I loved some of the photos he took so I thought I would post a couple up on here. I have wanted to go to Montreal for years now. And I think I would move there in a heartbeat. It looks so romantic and beautiful. And I love the French language. BUT for now Vancouver will do.
The month finished off with the greatest backyard wedding EVER. My Uncle Robert and his girlfriend Stephanie decided to get married in the most chill, relaxed atmosphere ever. They asked Danny to perform the ceremony and of course he was all over it.
The wedding was on the island in Cowichan Bay, at my Auntie Pip and Uncle Bob's house in their backyard. There were probably about 60 people and it was just one giant love-fest party. Literally.
Everyone just piled in the backyard and we all watched as they walked down the aisle together...well actually they danced. And it was really funny/sweet.
Here is our family shot. I think this was our goofy one. But if you saw the regular ones too, I mean they all kind of look goofy.
One thing that you will know the moment you meet my Uncle, is that he is all about puffy love. He is your modern day hippie...an amazing artist, and musician. So of course there was one big giant jam session for a couple hours during the potluck reception. Just grab an instrument and "play what you feel". :)
This last photo is one of my Mama and Papa. Dancing. They are seriously the greatest, most in-love older couple that I've ever seen. They still crack up at each other, and I mean, how cool is it that they are the only ones dancing. GOTTA LOVE THEM!
