Busy Weekend

Wow, did we do a lot of stuff this weekend, and it's not even over yet. Dobby's best friend from Birch Hills (now from Edmonton), Darren, and his girlfriend Amy came to visit us. They arrived on Thursday, and as of Wednesday, she wasn't just his girlfriend anymore, but his fiancee! This was the first time we had met Amy, and we all had a great time together.

On Friday we went to the zoo, and then to Birchwood Dairy for ice cream. Then Dobby entertained our company while the kids and I went to Hatzic Lake to see Chris and Julene Uganezc and their kids Tehya and Paeton. They are missionaries in Indonesia, back in Canada for her brothers wedding, and Friday was the only time we could see them. Olivia and Tehya were good friends before they left, so we thought it was important that they have a chance to play together again.

Then on Saturday, we all went to Hayward Lake to hang out on the beach. Malcolm does not care for the beach. The rest of us enjoyed it though - Dobby and I enjoyed it in shifts. Then home for a BBQ, put the kids to bed, and we taught Darren and Amy to play Settlers. Darren beat us. Beginners luck.

Today they left to do some more visiting in Chilliwack and on the Island, and we went to the Abbotsford Agrifair. Pancake breakfast with way too much syrup, lots of farm animals, dogs racing (flyball races), some rides, and racing pigs. Tomorrow Dobby's going golfing, while the kids and I go shopping. Probably no interesting pictures will come of those activities, so here are some pics from the rest of our weekend.

Some very happy mooses.

The newly engaged couple on the zoo train; or as Dobby referred to it in this picture, the love train.

In this picture it is back to the zoo train...actually these girls do love each other, so call it whatever you like!
