Salt Spring Island and Golfing Adventures

We decided to go over to Salt Spring Saturday morning and take in Ganges market and walk around the little shops. Quinnybear got the best hat from my Grandma that she was excited to wear!
Her fake smile cracks me up all the time. This girl has my heart forever.
It was drizzly and a bit cool but no wind and not too cold, so being outside was nice! It was really fun to look at all the artisans and food stands 
Windy ferry ride but big smiles!
I keep trying to sit in the backseat and getting one of them to sit in the front, but they refuse. Grandpa says he likes cuddling like Grandma in the back haha! So this is how we drive, all piled into our tiny car!
She wanted to carry her baby on her back like I carry her, so I wrapped her blanket around her and tied it so the baby would stay. So cute! I've seen little kid doll carries that look like a play minature version of my Tula that I've been thinking about getting her for her birthday, because she is such a little mother hen! Once the baby was secure, she pulled out the tools again and away she worked
She never wants to leave Grandpa's lap, always climbing on him and sitting on him
Every night that they have been here we have played crib, boys against girls. I love playing cards with my Grandpa because he's so smart and can count cards in a split second. It's remarkable to watch! It's just been so fun to hang out with these guys (also, grandma and I have won the majority of the crib games, much to the boys dismay!)
DMM missing the second D after church on Sunday
Tim and Lois drove up and came to church with us and when I saw Lois it was so funny! We dressed the exact same!!! Too funny!!
Tim and Lois treated us all to lunch afterwards at the Sawmill Taphouse. It's so nice mixing our families and being able to all spend a bit of time together!
After lunch the boys went to golfing again and Grandma and Q and I hung out together. The visit has just been so easy and low key and fun. It's so nice to have them here!!!

Handsome men!! I love when Jon's hair gets a bit longer and curls over his hat like this. These guys have had so much fun golfing together during this visit! It's such a special treat for Jon to be able to take a bit of a breather and relax and have fun like this.  And Grandpa is a huge golfer and would go everyday if he could! I'm so glad they are able to spend time together and do this! After they were done, Grandpa treated us all to dinner at Mr. Mike's - steak, YUM!!! I even had dessert, yikes! My eating wasn't awesome this weekend, but it also wasn't awful. But I knew that I had to work hard now and keep making good choices, so that night Jon and I went for a huge power walk (I know that power walk sounds so much more wimpy than running and doesn't sound that hard... it is. We walk fast, and uphill, and keep up a fast, steady pace. It's no walk in the park!) all over town. We came in the door all sweaty and tired but feeling good. It was a great weekend!
