Hiking at Green Drop Lake (Chilliwack)

Bryan and I went hiking at Green Drop Lake today! We took Tag along with us and had a really fun time. We had a little subway picnic at the the far end of the lake... Tag took a small fall off a boulder (lucky guy was fine!)... Bryan scratched up his shin in a little 'trip' also... amazingly, I was the only one who didn't get hurt! Who would believe that??? It was really a fun day!









Nadia & Holly's Victoria Trip

Nadia and I headed over to Victoria for the long weekend! We stayed at her grandparents house in Sooke and drove into town during the day for shopping, beaches, etc!

Shopping for bags at She-She... I bought the coolest wallet!
While we were out shopping... walking down the street.... a seagull pooped on me! I hear that supposed to be good luck... but I tell you, this did not feel lucky! Drinks at the Bengal Lounge, Empress Hotel... we had a drink and enjoyed jazz music!
Fish and chips at the beach... we found a big rock to sit on and enjoyed the scenery




Smugglers Inn (Oak Bay I think...) Nice tiki man drink...? haha...
Can you believe I ordered a fish salad? This is very far off from my usuall club house sandwhich, but man was it ever good!
Nadia's grandparents Fred and Chris took us out for lunch on our last day in Sooke... that was so nice of them, really great couple!

Bryan... boyfriend and my wedding photography assistant?!

Bryan and I have decided to start photographing weddings together! He will mainly assist and take care of business/website stuff while I take the pictures! Its going really well!
Bryan trying to get a picture of both of us working at the wedding....
Take pictures of the people at the Wedding Bryan! Not me!!! :)


Bryan in Rhode Island!

Bryan started his first week at his new job training in Warwick, Rhode Island USA. I lent him my camera for his trip! (I took the classic Bryan and Holly shot so he had something on the camera to start with!)Bryan's co-worker and travel-mate Greg. Greg had a GPS which helped them get around everywhere... Obviously Bryan wants one like crazy now!


The Classroom... only 6 guys in the class!

I dont know what this building is... but I have to say, Bryan might have some architectural photography talent hidden somewhere! Great photograph...

Greg at dinner... apparently the food in Warwick was aweful, so you had to go to a bigger city to find better stuff...


Pizza in the hotel room!

Thursday night yard work...

Mom and Elliott making the yard even nicer... how nice for mom to have someone who likes to help out sooooo much with the yard. Elliott is always the first to volunteer on lawn mowing detail!

Tag... always willing to help out/get in the way!
Even though it looks like Tag is a good 'poser' he really isnt... I managed to get this cute picture of him only because I was standing right over him! (thats why you see my feet in the picture!!)
