Science World

During our trip to Vancouver a few weeks ago, we went to Science World. And... if you want me to tell you how I really feel... I actually sort of hate science. Okay, maybe I don't hate it, but I don't know a lot about it, therefore I'm not really interested. Perhaps I have a bad attitude about it. I know that science is a very important thing in our lives but it's just not my gig. I don't feel like I was put on this earth to deal with science. Anyway, despite my dis-interest for science, it turned out to be a fun day. But maybe that's because I was more interested in taking cool photos then I was in the exhibits.

I was going to share all the photos I took, but I can't see to muster up the energy tonight. I'm super tired. I drank a coffee at ten o'clock last night and couldn't sleep ALL NIGHT LONG. It was suppose to be decaf but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Anyway, instead of posting all the photos, I've shared my favorite two of the day.

  oh, and by the way... Happy September 1st!

Here's to the New Beginnings that September may bring. 

Burrr.....

Well, we went camping for four days but let's just say it wasn't my favorite camping trip of all time. It was COLD and CLOUDY. Boo. I absolutely hate being cold and wet. We still managed to have some fun but here's what the sky looked like for four days straight. And by the way, the little patch of blue is really the only blue sky we saw ALL weekend.

We did have a VERY SMALL window of sun for about an hour on Saturday... just enough to get the Waverunner out for a few laps before all the kids ended up with BLUE lips.

Notice you don't see me out there :) Gotta love Grady for being such a great sport. My teeth were chattering just watching...

Here's Kienna making necklaces and Taylor waiting for ANYONE to drop ANYTHING for her to eat. And speaking of wieners... we had some laughs when dad used his new weiner stick (that we gave him for Father's Day) to roast his...

Ha. I didn't get a photo of the "marsh-mellows" on the GIRL version but I'm sure you can imagine.

I have no idea why Keiryn looks so guilty and why Kienna is laughing her head off, but I love this photo...

 The two headed monster trying to get warm...

The cutest chinese baby around who isn't really loving the whole camping scene and especially hates the beach. But that's okay because she looks super cute when she pouts...

During our boredom... we took some time to show off our rare talents... Grady won with his tongue trick...

...and I won with my ugly trick...
Here's Lily praying to the Chinese Gods for SUN...

Unfortunately, her prayers didn't work sooooo.... we all left early Sunday morning to avoid the storm... well, right after my sister jack-knifed her trailer...

and my dad got the pleasure of using his new toy to tow her out :)

All in all, a decent weekend spent with my awesome family.... with a tad bit of drama (thanks Brooke)... just hoping for better weather next time.

In love, in Mexico

There was a whole lot of love in the air while in Tulum. Amber and Darren, Grady and I, Candace and Mike, Kevin and Denise, Carole and Peter, Fiona and ?? All in all, a whole lot of lovin' goin on.

I loved this holiday. It was romantic. It was fun. It was relaxing. I was totally in love with every day, every minute, every one, but most of all Grady. I was so thankful to have had ten days with him all to myself. He's awesome.

I enjoyed the shits sites, I didn't really like the poop food, but the drinks were good and the stool pool was nice. Did I mention I had diarrhea?

Thank you to everyone who was there to spread the love with me in Tulum... a wonderful memory, I won't soon forget.
