Boating Trip 2009

(start at the bottom of this blog entry for chronological order) All done and temporarily fixed for the day
Princess Ali has arrived at the Island Medical Center and everyone is showering her with accolades that she is a "rock star". Which she was. Amazing Ali girl... you kept your Momma from falling apart!

But loving it by the end of the trip... this bed is great can I just stay in here, I am almost asleep.
Not real happy at first about the ambulance ride

Here I am doing the gunny sack and taking names! Then I decide to go over the playground and show my new friend Jenna how I can skip on the monkey bars... and our whole day shifts and refocuses in an instant.

The Crab walk with Amy and Olivia
(Steve's friends from Alberta met up with us at Roche Harbor for the day)

Olivia, Amy and Olivia just before the games begin
Jenna, Ali and Ally meet up for the races
Olivia and Steve run the 2.8 mile fun run at 9:00AM
Finish time is 29 minutes - great job Olivia!
4th of July Morning before the festivities begin
We found our friends, Olivia, Ally & sister Macy from 2 years ago! All the girls were just thrilled to see each other again. They all had great memories of their first trip out together.
Butchart Gardens... just as breathtaking as I remember... I have a LOT of work to do in my yard!
