Secret Spots

Dawn-Marie shared her secret summer spot with us. Lili was the only one up for an adventure today.
We hung out for a super long time.  The water was so warm.
Finally a lazy summer moment ;)

We'd happily go back to this secret spot!

The rest of the family was home hiding from the heat. Eric did have the mobile rv guy here and he fixed our moho fridge for $400.  So we're pretty thrilled about that!

So excited!

Luk and I are going tent camping at Kissinger Lake!!  So exciting.  Two nights mid August. We got a water site.  Can't wait.  I'm already making lists in my head.  The family is going to visit us the second day for swimming together on Fei's gotcha.  All three girls learned to swim in this lake.  Now it's Luk's turn.  

Not much in other news.  Just home trying for lazy days.  A little work and a lot of lounging.  The heat is just brutal.  We have ac in the living room.  We call it the cool room.  The ac in our bedroom normally keeps the upstairs cool but it can't keep up.  Fei got her little ac going.  Jia was up pacing around and Luk took his bedding downstairs to the boys couch.  

The pool helps but it's just too hot to even go out there so we wait until the sun is off the pool.  It still has a leak.  We can't find it.  So Eric adds water every day or two. We're shopping for a new liner. It's a massive job to replace it so we're thinking it will be better to limp it along for a few weeks and have the project to do next spring.  

The moho fridge keeps turning off so we have a guy coming tomorrow to look at it. The sewer lines won't shut so Eric has a yucky job to fix/replace them.  We discovered a new wet spot in the kids clothing cupboard so he spent a day on the roof scraping the old goop and regooping.  Hopefully that was it.  The moho is old.  Not funky vintage old, just old.  

Lili, Fei and I ran 7 errands a couple days ago.  During the hot part of the day.  We got a lot done, some for work some for the house.  I'm not keen to head out again anytime soon.  I'm extremely grateful this heat wave is happening while we're home versus last week on our holiday.  We wouldn't have been able to survive the moho in this heat.

Congratulations Fei.

That was fun mail!  She put it on the fridge.  Love.

Cathedral Grove part 2.

We did the other side on our way into Port Alberni. The entire walk is this fancy shmancy boardwalk.  It's so nice and easy to walk.  We let Kai lead the way.  I'd definitely advise this side for a little walk. However...we do think there are bigger trees on the other undeveloped side.
Then to Sproat Lake for a swim.
We got Kai a bigger tube.  He was so happy just floating around while Eric and May swam around keeping him close to shore.  He has zero swimming ability and no desire to do anything but float.
Lunch served with their feet in the water.  Luxury.
To the Harbour Quay for dinner.
We ended our day at the Coombs Candy and Creamery.  Homemade ice cream. That was really good. Prices are reasonable.  If you're cruising through this stop is worth it.
Back to the campsite for the last camp fire.  8 nights went so fast.  We have nothing booked until labor day.  We are planning to be home for August.  We'll see if I make it.  Luk and I are keen to try tent camping at Kissinger.

Sandcastles

May and Luk took Kai to the playground.
He was delighted. It was hillarious to see May and Luk try to keep their eye on him.
Pure joy. He's yelling out "wee".
May had fun too.
And Luk.
Haha.
Lili came back and spent another day with us.
Sandcastles.
We all got to vote for our favorite.
He's predictable.
Onto mini golf.
Kai opted out.
We replenished the junk. I had fun loading Luk up.
Mile long bubble gum.

Qualicum for lunch.

Lili and Fei missed out on Coombs with us so they stopped there on their way to meet us for lunch and took some photos.  Love it.  
Dolewhip!!!
Eric got a rootbeer milkshake instead.  Weirdo.  He handed it to me to try but I thought he got it for me instead of Dolewhip.  Not gonna lie, it was a devastating moment.  Haha. 
Poppy and Joey had a great big play together. So cute.
Rosie.
