On the Beach in Comox with Dad

Spring Break 2007

We spent Spring Break at Lake Okanagan Resort, near Kelowna. On the way there, we had a delightful overnight visit with Diana. While in the Okanagan, we visited Ken & Donna in Kelowna as well as the Crumbacks in Summerland. Our tour of the Mission Hill winery, near Westbank, was another highlight of a delightful vacation.

Vancouver Island Visit, July 2004

Paul's parents visited Vancouver Island in July of 2004. This is a slide-show of some highlights of that visit. Isaac was an only child that summer, so he's probably the star of the show. Somehow, we managed lots of great shots of everyone. Not quite so many of Aaron because he was still busy working at Valhalla Pure.
