Flying High

Jen — Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:36:19 +0000

This morning we headed out to Kamloops to visit some family we have there, as well as my Baba who is in town visiting. I took almost no pictures during our visit, but I did manage to capture this one of Brad and Grae playing in the backyard pool. There’s something special about being thrown… Read More

Splish Splash

Jen — Fri, 23 May 2014 20:20:09 +0000

Because of Miss G’s weird ear pain, we haven’t been at the Hilton at all this week. Based on the dancing, splashing, and general celebrating that took place this afternoon in her blow-up pool down in the courtyard, I’d say she’s been missing it. ☺ Are you following us on Facebook and Instagram yet? We’d love… Read More

Summer As it Should Be

Jen — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 07:22:11 +0000

This is pretty much how we spent our entire day today… Basking in the Okanagan sun and soaking in as much of the mountains and green grass as possible. Oh, and there was a whole lot of watching our little fish jump full force into her pool too. ♥ For extra fun, like us on… Read More

iPhoneography // Water Baby

Jen — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:17:16 +0000

We’ve been back in swim classes now for a few weeks and Miss G is just loving it. The classes are upbeat, fun, and filled with songs and play, but teach beginning swimming skills at the same time. So far, we’ve been practicing most of the same skills we learned last session… Front starfish floats,… Read More

Soaking Up the Summer

Jen — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 06:59:36 +0000

I’m not ashamed to say that we were back at Maple Grove Pool again today… Yes, again. But what’s not to love? Picnics, swimming, splashing, and playing, all while soaking up some vitamin D (doused in all-natural sunscreen and covered by a huge sunhat, of course…) These are the things that summer is made of.… Read More

Hillcrest’s Outdoor Pool

Jen — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:09:47 +0000

In an effort to keep cool while enjoying the sunshine, we tried a new outdoor pool today… The outdoor pool at Hillcrest Centre. It was a beautiful afternoon and we certainly enjoyed ourselves, but I must say, it was no competition for the lovely Maple Grove Pool. While we love Hillcrest’s indoor pool, the outdoor… Read More

Round Two

Jen — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 04:33:17 +0000

This afternoon we set out to visit another wading pool off of the Vancouver wading pools & spray parks list, but weren’t overly successful. In fact, we down right failed. I’d decided we’d to go to Balaclava Park in Dunbar, as I love the area and had read good things online. We arrived without issue… Read More

Maple Grove Pool

Jen — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:29:22 +0000

I can’t tell you how excited I am that summer seems to finally be arriving to Vancouver. And with the new warm weather comes the opportunity to find fun new warm weather places/activities around the city to keep Miss G and I busy throughout the summer months. I must admit, I’ve been eyeing up this list… Read More

Ordinary Days

Jen — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:51:56 +0000

Sometimes ordinary days are the best kind. Don’t get me wrong, Little G and I love to get out, go on adventures, and visit fun places, but sometimes normal, everyday kind of days equally wonderful. Today was one of those. Some H2O and an energy bite post-swimming lesson. (I’m happy to report, by the way,… Read More

Little Fishy

Jen — Mon, 14 May 2012 05:19:02 +0000

We took our little fishy to her third swimming lesson this morning, and since Brad and I were both able to go, I took the opportunity to take a couple of photos. This little lady LOVES the water, and although our instructor is a little brash, our lessons have been really fun so far. To… Read More
