After the parties, it was mostly a lot of hanging out, packing and getting in last dentist appointments. Jeff and I went to Whistler for my birthday weekend, (unfortunately I lost all my photos when my phone decided to crash before I backed them up), so we got in a few nice hikes.
We took a Saturday to check out Terra Nova park, in Richmond, after a baby shower for old Dalhousie friends. The boys liked the zip-line the best (though Jeff and I got a work out pushing them on it!).
Finally, the big day came. September 1st was our moving day, so my Mom picked up the boys in the morning and we all said 'Goodbye' to that chapter of our lives, the last 5 years that were spent at 13805 Blackburn Ave, White Rock, BC. (Simon was too grumpy to join us in the picture).
We moved into a townhouse in an area called Princess Park, and luckily there is actually a park with trails and a playground just down the street.
We had a week before school started, and we even managed to get some White Rock friends to visit us for a hike - we met up with the Sherwins in Deep Cove for the Quarry Rock hike. Simon was super happy that the shaved-ice store was still open for business at the end of the hike.
We caught the last night of the Night-Market/Food Truck Fest at the Shipyards in North Van, where we got Malaysian food, fish&chips, and mini donuts. We can't say we were big fans of the band playing on stage, but the balloon guy made all the kids balloon swords and belts, so there was plenty of dancing around.
And then, just like that, summer was over.
Callum and Max started at their new school, Cleveland Elementary. Sigh. I can't remember if I mentioned what a pain it was, trying to get the boys into a french immersion school in North Van, so after many deliberations with the NV School District, Cleveland ended up being the only school with a French spot for both of them. So here they are!
