This post is about our trip to Butchart Gardens, and although we had a great time, the weather was mild and everything went our way, the only thing we're all likely to remember is that the big girls met Calum Worthy from Austin and Ally. It was exciting for sure.
Fei thought she saw him in the sunken garden. I told them to go ahead and go back to look for him. Eric and I hung out with the littles in strollers and they came back to say they couldn't find him. We stopped at the upper bathrooms and I told Fei to wait for James so we didn't lose him. Eric and Lili went ahead to line up for the carousel. Then Lili spotted him and instead of going to him and asking for a picture she ran back to get Fei. Awww sweet sister moment! They asked him for a selfie and he took Lili's phone and took four selfies. He's good at them too, they are all centered ;) I missed it all, came out of the bathroom and could hear Lili saying thank you and watched him walk away with a girl.
So, they don't really watch family channel anymore. Jia does. But they certainly remember all of the shows fondly and it was a big deal. They had to fill James in on what they were so excited about. Maybe they'll get around to showing him an episode today.
We had a visit with Scott, who continues to improve. Kids were all noticing the difference yesterday.
Then we went to value village to get books for Lili. Eric found me an ancient orange table lamp for my motorhome. I found a Bambi shirt for Jia that will be cute for the Disney trip and Luk and Jia both picked out toy guitars and were rocking out in the store. Completely clueless about how obnoxious they sounded. I'm sure they thought they were spectacular rock stars. Someone gave me a 30% off card, so that was fun. Oh, and Lili found some books. Then at dinner our food was slow coming out so not only was our meal fabulous, they took two of the kids meals off. A day for discounts. Rare.
Not sure what Christmasy things we'll get up to today. I'm at work. Perhaps decorating the gingerbread houses later. It's James first Christmas, that's fun to watch.
