Auntie Jessie rides into town

Last Sunday we drove to Victoria to fetch Auntie Jessie & bring her into our whirlwind for 5 days. By the time we had reached her we realized Drew had 'forgotten' his shoes back home, Mara had had a diaper explosion & we were late - big surprise.
As soon as we were sorted & Drew was fitted with new shoes ("I don't have any shoes so my parents have to buy me these!") we were on our way to Sooke for the bbq to beat ALL bbqs at the Rabien's. Welcome to your relaxing vacation Jess!

The rest of her visit was spent dodging rain (Wha? It rains here? I swore it didn't), visiting beaches, singing show tunes, and sharing champagne & some great yaks. It had been far too long between visits with her & we won't let that happen again.

Yes! Cage them to the point of exhaustion!

He ate one crab & 2 pieces of cake. That's my boy!

Nothing good came of this

She's #3. We don't worry about the germs too much anymore

The girls doing what they do best - get mucky

Please, please save me! Take me back with you!
