LOVE Saturdays

Yup, today was great!

We slept in this morning until about 9am... even the little cookie slept in! Homemade banana bread was on the menu for breakfast (I made it last night around 11pm for the very first time). It was pretty good... missing chocolate chips, an extra banana and some sort of nut (is it walnuts that you can put in it? I cant remember?...) Besides that, not too shabby for a first timer. Thanx to the encouragement from my girly friend saying "its not so hard" Thanx S, it sure is not!

We were going to go hit some Garage sales first thing this morning, but we woke up kinda late and wanted to do a few other things even more (like be lazy). We did some origami (do you DO origami or CREATE it? not sure about that one...) We made a puppy and a dinosaur. Was neat to see how the little cookie's hand eye precision had increased.

Next we were off to the berry field! Raspberries and Blueberries are the ones that were available to pick. These took a little longer than the strawberries we picked a few weeks ago, cuz ya really have to take a good look at each one. We picked 2 buckets of each! I love freezing them, then indulging in smoothies a little later. Mmmm SMOOTHIES...

 So into the freezer they went.

The next adventure we wanted to go on was a picnic at Qualicum's beach for some snorkelling. (wish I took a picture of the two of them with their heads in the water looking for treasures) It was probably the cutest thing EVER! I opted to not go as my ears are plugged from the last time... We packed some seriously amazing foods. There were chicken sandwiches on a cheese bun, cherries, oranges, cookies, blueberries and water of course as we were in the beautiful sun.

4pm came up quickly while playing in the water! Off to my mommas we went for dinner. There we ate a fresh lobster dinner! She even had chicken there for my younger sister (as she doesn't like lobster). Goodness she is spoiled! I love watching her put the live lobsters into the pot of boiling water. As kids we used to race them before they went inside... mean? cuel? Maybe... but it sure was fun when you had an active one! We played frisbee and caught up with my aunt who came from the Yukon on her motorcycle! Quite the adventure for her and her husband.

Then off home we had to go... And to sleep for tomorrow's busy day!
