Christmas on Pender Island

We went down to the beach this afternoon to gather some gravel for Julia's garden. Here's Cooner just dying to get wet. It's pretty here. After our little job of labour, we decided to hike up to one of the vantage points on this island. Poor Fatty, he was lagging behind because he's been a little sick lately. We finally arrived to the top. It was starting to look good. Holy shit!!! The view from here was amazing! I could use this for my desktop. Nicholas looks on... Popa Fatt... Add me into the mix. Fatty on top... It's so beautiful from here. A wink from Lila... Fatty on his perch... The roar of Tarzan... From multiple angles... Well now, we have another tree to climb. I felt like we were in a Gap commercial. Poor Cooner, he wanted to climb up here too. Popa Fett the ninja... Now, what are these brothers up to? Apparently, this passage was man made. Another pretty view from a beach. There's Cooner swimming! He just loved it. I loved the rock formations here. My turn to be on top. On the lookout... for some PBOs. I cry out, "There she is!" "Give me your hand." Let's get the fuck down. More interesting rock formations... Here's the house that everyone's been talking about. It's made out of straw! With a little help from Julia, Lila made these hors d'oeuvres! Time for some Christmas dinner! Home baked cookies for dessert and... Mince meat pie! Ahhh... the ambiance. Nicholas with his little baby... Kiss, kiss... Lila just crashed in front of the fire. The boys posing with Arnie... He's punching Nicholas in this one. The look on Cooner's face says it all. Time to go to sleep. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
