weekend trip to the Island

So Pammer and I had both had thurs/fri off last week, so we decided to go to the island for 4 days and visit my cousin Karla, her husband Brian and the cutest baby ever, 9 1/2 month old Zander...you've seen some pics of him before, as i visited them about a month ago. and I know that most people aren't interested in seeing many pictures of a cute baby they've never met, but it's my blog and i can post what i want, and you will just have to deal with it. :)

So Pammer and I caught the ferry Thurs. morning and headed to Nanaimo. We then drove to Coombs and met my cousin for lunch, before heading back to Courtenay, where they live. I've never been to Coombs before but have heard a lot about it...cuz they have goats. Now at first you might be thinking "goats? so what! It's just a goat hanging out and eating some grass, big deal!"
but then you might look at this next picture and think "that's a funny angle at which you took this picture, why are those goats up high?"

To which I would reply..."that's because the goats live up on the roof of a building"
And now the building is a marketplace (with AMAZING fresh bread and other wonderful things) and a restaurant).

After lunch, and some shopping at the marketplace, we headed back to Courtenay and hung out at the hostel that Brian and Karla own and Pammer and I entertained Zander for a while

And then we basically spent the rest of the weekend just chillin'...so here are some cute pictures of an adorable baby that probably thinks that I'm the paparatzi and he's somethin' famous based on all the photos i took of him this weekend...lol

a little karaoke in the bathroom while on his throne...
and a good tooth brushin' at night while chillin' with daddy

We made amazing pizza's one night.....we had so many different combo's of ingredients, everyone got to make their own section...mmmm....

And we also spent a lot of time drinking pomegranite martinis.....

We did some scrapbooking....while drinking said martinis...and Zander helped us the next morning by choosing his paper colors

and then eating them...

Karla and Zander
