Got back from camping in Fort Langley with Grandma and Grandpa this past Sunday.
We stayed on Brae Island which is a beautiful green little hunk of land in the Fraser River.
My folk’s have an RV so… OK, not really camping. And yes dinner was steak, lobster and chicken with potato, Greek and Caeser salad… or as my sister Andrea called it, the Double Trifecta Dinner. And yes, we drank imported European beers… BUT there was a campfire… so it was kind of like camping.
I am happy that my daughter continues to show signs that under her soft Victoria girl shell, there may beat the heart of the Explorer… or maybe she is just 3 and they’re all like that. But she really took to the tent, the campfire, dirt, bugs, eating strange berries and trying to jump in the swift moving Fraser River.
and of course… ice cream.
My parents, god bless them… gave me their old 1998 mini-van. So now I have a van to haul gear for my Wedding DJ business! I am so thankful to them for that.
My Dad went over how to care for a van that is old and has close to 200,000km on it. But my Mom and Dad took good care of it, so all things considered and minus a side-mirror being held on with duct-tape, it runs pretty good.
Mads and I came home Sunday night and the ferry was packed. Then yesterday, she woke up with an eye infection. Eye infections are so gnarly. She has some green goo pouring out of it, its swollen and pink. Took her to the doctor and bingo-bongo, pink eye!
I dealt with that last night. She woke up bothered by it so I also slept in her bed. Ouch, sore back today. But the doctor thinks if we keep it clean, keep washing our hands like obsessive-compulsive types and put the medicine in as directed, we’ll be good to go.
To be honest, Madelyn hasn’t gotten too sick or gets sick very often… so knock on wood; compared to what other parents go through, this hopefully won’t be a big deal.

That’s all I got right now. This weekend will be rad as I am DJing at V.I.C. Fest at 11AM. The weather for the event looks awesome. Then a wedding at Sea Cider! And some other exciting things at Spin The Black Disc… so I’ll let you know as they play out.
Go with yourself.
