Costa Rica-- Arenal Volcano and Mac Riding

A huge driver behind the trip was work related-- bringing Mac Ride to another country to showcase just how easy it is to travel with the seat. We got in some solid riding right from the get go.

 Beautiful countryside and a corker volcano.

Costa Rica-- Arenal Volcano and the pool

So happy we followed the lonely planet's advice on a gem of a b&b in La Fortuna, one that was in our budget but also featured a pool. Such a great way to chill after travelling, mountain biking and hiking in the mornings.
 Mac underwater photo bombed me!

 The dab just isn't going anywhere anytime soon!
This wee chap is officially now a swimmer. Big milestone.
An aside, another milestone Mac reached before we left Victoria-- Dob took him to the bank to deposit his pocket money and for the first time, he left understanding he had stored the money for himself at a later time, and hadn't been ripped off.

Great season by the Jedis. More pics of Sav's team to follow.

Victoria Sings at UVIC

Savvy belts it out with her Willows choir and the other choirs from her district.
 She's the one in the red vest.
Bit of carpooling and, after beast-drop-off, a sneaky trip to the pub on campus pre-show got us there just in time!

The story starts with Dob in Taiwan.
Back at base, the kids do a great job sans their Dad...a few late nights and some juggling of activities, but we got there. Including the filming of Mac Ride safety video.
Then - bye bye, says me.
Nana steps in for the handover, first with a delay at the ferry and Mac pumping on Sav's head, as you do...
...and then I split town for some adult/puppy time in Kelowna with Shark, Ty and Joe. Not bad, hey!?
 Mmmm Charlie and the chocolate factory, but with Ty, and for adults.

Mac and Organic Debbie

 Mac's Kindie class is growing veg at Government House with Organic Debbie.

 Plant a seed and make a wish, says Mac!
