Chasing Summer

That's what it feels like we've been doing the last couple of weeks...trying to bank as much outdoor time as we can before we have to dress two babies in full winter gear just to go get the mail!
I know the hiking/canoeing shots are getting tired. Just remember, as soon as it starts raining at least 80% of the photos you see here will feature sticky kitchen linoleum in at least one corner. Mojo's tail will be in someone's face for the other 20%.
These are from our trip up to Squamish to pick up our (still nameless) canoe. No, we didn't walk there. But when in Squamish you might as well strap a baby on your back and take in a waterfall or two!



Of course we took a moment to set up the obligatory family portrait courtesy of the camera timer. Note Matt's straight jacket-like hold on Liam....


....I think that's because Liam enjoys sprinting towards said camera as it is perched on a rock for a timer shot. If a hike doesn't get the heart pumping a little faster, then THAT will!


Next up....some babies on board! The kids have definitely found their groove out on the water. Liam enjoys putting his feet up, singing "Row, row, row" and snacking on apple slices....


And if you thought he looked relaxed, Sarah has raised the bar even higher. Here she is taking a siesta in her bow bed. She even had her own little parasol. I can't say she wasn't infringing on my leg room, but I'll take a charley horse over a squirmy baby in a life jacket any day!

And so would she, it seems. She was much happier when she woke up this time around!


Have a great weekend - if all goes according to plan the canoe will be back on the blog on Monday!
