A Busy Summer
Our family has taken REAL advantage of summer this year. Unlike the past years when I had to squeeze in our family adventures in between my work schedule and my hubby's schedule. Now that I don't work, it's easier to plan family happenings or just haul the whole gang at the spur of the moment.
PLAN:
What's summer without swimming? Outdoor swimming on BC's largest saltwater pool - Kits Pool delivers! Warm water, fun playsets and slides at WaterMania - check!

PLAN:
My youngest son's birthday was a good excuse to hit VanCity and check out Neighbour's Restaurant. It was featured in Food Network's "You Gotta Eat Here!" show. Our trek here almost didn't happen though, the birthday boy was hinting on going to good ol' Denny's. Good thing he was swayed by the pepperoni pizza of Neighbour's Restaurant :) It was really good! My older son said it's the best pizza he'd ever tasted!
PLAN:
Our family was intent on completing the three night extravaganza between Vietnam, Brazil and Italy for the 2012 Celebration of Lights competition - and yes, we did it! Each day was a full day of family activity and fun, enjoying Kits Beach, Kits Seawall and Vanier Park. We will do it again next year, definitely!
SPUR OF THE MOMENT:
Checking out one gorgeous piece of Crescent Beach on a warm, perfect summer weekday at Blackie Spit Park. Armed with our usual picnic paraphernalia, we drove 15 minutes from our place to here. It was a great family-friendly place to hang out, have picnic dinner, read, play ball, play at the beach and watch the gorgeous sunset (yep, White Rock beach couldn't compete, as this beach directly faces west).
