The Gals. They're Great.

 Shark and Ty shared their amazing cabin for a girls getaway. Bliss. Despite some crazy socks.

 Amazing rides

 Amazing hike

Spring Break 2016-- Week 2 with the new mini Spielberg

Savvy is making a Mac Ride promotional video for us. More to follow. Just what I need-- another bossy pants Spielberg director in the house (Dob's bad enough!)

Mac Ride looks pretty on the North Shore rack, no?

Stay tuned for Sav's latest Mac Ride cut.

Mac Ride Drama!!!

Seats are about to ship. No wait. An issue with the saddle. Fix fix fix. Back and forth with China. Send sample. We're on a Mac Ride filming mission but alas, production takes the cake. Mega rides to ferry to travel Vancouver to collect the sample on a 24 hour mission.
Hmmm. Trail 102 to the terminal has been logged (depressing-- it was a beauty trail)...off road hike-a-bike adventure follows.
Arrives late in the city but in one piece.
Sample's good.
Journey home is more peaceful (because the seat was green for go, and especially because Mega's lovely wife collected him as Sprockids).
We're back on track.
Phew!

This is me-- searching Mac Ride zen.

Life of an entrepreneur...it ain't great for the grey hair!

Spring Break 2016-- Week 2: Sunshine Coast Family Time

Cracking weather on the Coast in a lovely air bnb. No microwave or dishwasher. But there was a bottle opener:)

Go Team Roberts!!!

 Brrrrr!

 The Birds. The Birds!

A wee bit of rock tossing

Spring Break 2016-- Bike Ride with Beast 1 While Beast 2 is in Nursery

 Glen and Sav rode the sea wall and paused in Stanley Park for treats and a play

Then a surprise visit from Jose and his new ACL party car!

Spring Break 2016-- Date Night

 Tis blossom season and we were taking pics like every other nerd with an instagram account. What have you got Team Japan?

Spring Break 2016-- Pizza Night

 Post pizza stone throwing at Kits Beach

Nana takes the kids in the car so Dob and I can walk home in the sunset . Bliss.

Notre Artiste!

Perhaps Sav takes after her Great Grandma Ruth, and after her Nonno, John?

Spring Break is Here-- school and after school classes are no longer in session!

Metal Mouth, with a Rainbow Twist

"Creepy Sco-ish Pirate Barking Dog on Bike" - character by Mac, soon to be trademarked

We have used my time off and Glen's flexibility working at home on Mac Ride to spend as much time as possible with the kids this term. This included a rather intense session of swimming down at the Vancouver Aquarium...twice a week (at different times for each kid, of course). Sav is now in level 7 (maybe time for swim club?) and Mac is now a crocodile. 

When Mac's not in the water, he's actually a "Creepy Sco-ish Pirate Barking Dog" (Scottish accent included). I Mac Rode him to the pool, then to Nana's, each afternoon. He chose to cover his face with his buff and bark in a pirate voice to one and all on the sea wall. 

We scared people. We confused people. We made people laugh. It was kind of creepy, but also kind of cool.

Splatter Painting with Your Mates. Yes!
