On closure and the past few days
Feel like I'm updating all over. All my local friends ended up on facebook so I just updated there. Sorry, feeling lazy, but I'm going to cut and paste. I've returned to my "ignore lj" phase so it's high time I break this trend....
On Saturday, my Aunt Nancy, my cousin Maegan, my cousin Senga and her husband, plus their 3 kids (aged 2.5, 5, and 6 - three boys) arrived from Ontario. THE KIDS ARE CRAZY. Very adorable but very crazy. It's such a switch from having just three people around my place without little kids... now it's 10 people. The only child thing has really changed my perspective but these three boys are pretty good. I was secretly hoping for "girlfriend defense" since she's used to siblings (four!) but I've had to swing it on my own thanks to crazy Canada Day border work schedules. :D
Tomorrow is going to be a little different though and no one is really looking forward to it (from my estimation at least). Spreading my uncle's ashes into the Georgia Straight on the Tuesday (July 3rd). Surprisingly enough, we contacted BC Ferries, because they actually allow you to schedule things like this on a regular ferry sailing. Once this is out of the road I think everyone will enjoy the rest of the week more.
After that, Wednesday/Thursday is Whistler, then the rest will be whatever we can do in the city, weather permitting. Family's leaving on Monday, but my Aunt is staying with us for another week afterwards.
So that's where it's at. I'll update again soon once the craziness subsides.
