Visitors for the holidays

With the upcoming arrival of the Chloe's brother or sister, the opportunities to come to Vancouver were somewhat limited. As such, the Lavery-Loveys clan came out on Boxing day to spend 3 days with Akis and I. It was a bit of a chaotic time as the house was in the process of being packed up, however our guests were very forgiving of the state of the house and the cuisine that it offered ~ i.e. frozen pizza! I even managed to get them to pitch in with the pack up.

The Chaos



We did also have a chance to sit and rest.


Unlike Craig and Krista's last trip to Vancouver, we had great weather ~ read no rain ~ and were able to take advantage of this by heading out to the beach and park to play.

Day One at the beach




Day Two at the Beach:




Chloe did get up early and dad did a great job of keeping her entertained with her puzzles. She is so inquisitive and can hang out just about anywhere.

We did take a trip out to the Aquarium ~ a first for Chloe. A car had been rented as Auntie Carrie's car doesn't quite fit everyone. Perhaps the rental doesn't either, but we made it. Good thing Akis is a huge guy and we didn't travel long to get there!







I enjoyed our visit a lot ~ even if it was in the midst of the chaos ~ it's always good to spend time with family.
