Westbank with D&E

Last Tuesday, Shelby went up with the kids to Westbank. I came up with our friends Dave and Estelle on Thursday for 2 nights. The weather was mixed, but we were still able to enjoy the pool and the boat.

On Friday we went out with the boat for a couple of hours. Most of us got to try the Big Mabel again. Dave and I took a turn together and I think Shelby tried pretty hard to flip us but we hung on!

Here are a few pictures from our boat ride

Back at the house we spent quite a bit of time at the pool and using the colour accent feature of our camera. These next 2 pictures were taken by Estelle.

We also used the WP-500 in the pool, to help accentuate Dave's husky body.

When you travel with friends you often learn new things about them and I learned that when Dave plugs his nose underwater, he can make bubbles come out of his eyes! How does one figure that out? Maybe I have that hidden talent too or you out there?

On Friday afternoon Dave's brother and his family came to visit. They have girls, the same age as our boys, so they got along pretty well. They played in the pool and then we went up to Mission Hill. Dave's brother, his wife and Estelle took a tour, while Uncle Dave looked after the oldest girls as they hung out with boys running around, playing hide and seek and checking out the wishing well.

When we got back to our house we were greeted to a nice full rainbow. I could have done a better job stitching the panoramic shot of the rainbow, but i think you get the idea.

On our last night we played monopoly and I had fun, maybe it's because I won too:-)

Anyway it was good to hang out with Dave and Estelle in the 'tropics' again and a nice way to end the summer break.
