Go Fish Champion

First time playing go fish with Daddy. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

 Loser, loser, chicken snoozer.

PNE Fun!

This year, we headed to the PNE on the opening day. The weather was warm - not hot - and the crowds light. The ideal combo for an awesome visit!

Here are some of the photos. Once again, no dogs allowed (boo), so Mom used her iPhone.

The newest recruits - keys to post season success? Time will tell....

Madeleine's first go on the Wave Swinger - so fun! "Best day ever!"

This one is for Uncle George!

Channelling their inner Schwarzennegger!

Unfortunately, no photos were taken of the mini donuts, cotton candy, popcorn, deep fried Oreos and wiggle chips that were consumed. All apart of this year's healthy PNE diet completely appropriate for all ages! Yum!

Until next year...

Life is a beach in Newfoundland alright.

After a hike there is nothing like a comfy bench.

What a view!

More beach exploring.

Pop was exceptionally kind with his hospitality once again.

Isn't my family just adorable.

Can't get enough of those Newfoundland vistas.

Doesn't get any more spectacular than this!

Life is a beach

Welcome to the 2013 and Burns man tour of the local beaches. First off, Richmond beach Gary Point.

 Not much sand, but the view is awesome and so is the fish and chips.

 Madeleine and her friend Elie

Every so often, I let someone else borrow the camera. It's hard work don't your know, always taking pictures. Here's a shot someone snapped of yours truly with Madeleine after a long and hot walk. A very long and very hot walk. Don't they know I'm almost 10! Sheesh.

 Richmond beaches are pretty good, but they've got nothing on the Vancouver beaches and their girl-eatting sand.

 Yikes.

 Belly just came for the view.

 And the popsicle.

 And the sun.
