Wedding at Gregarious Garden (Day 2)

"Good morning, Pam and Dwayne!" "Merlin, call upon your dragon to weave a mist... to hide us!" Lila and Fatty also stayed at the cottage last night. Big thanks to Dwayne and Pam for their hospitality!!! :-) Probably, one of the last times Fatty gets to use that camera. It goes back on the market once we return home. :-( Once we were ready, we raced over to Nu-To-You. A cultural weekly event on Pender Island, this thrift store's openings are very popular among the locals. Just like set sales back home, you got to be here bright and early or else you'll miss out on all the great items! After our shopping spree, we returned to Greg and Julia's house to snack on some of the cantaloupe, Opa brought. It was so sweet and delicious! After our little snack, we hiked-up Mount Norman! The view is incredible from here! Popa Fett... The Brothers Kleider... Tamara... Walking through the deadwoods.... Walking back, but down the other side... Nicholas said we produced some natural GH from our climb-up. Another pretty view... The weather co-operated with us again. Lila and Fatty, a road apart...

We waited here while Nicholas hitchhiked to retrieve the Jeep. LOL! Nicholas was successful, so we drove over to Hope Bay! LOL! All by myself... Lila made a new friend! So beautiful! Cooner came by to greet the blondie. So scenic here! We chilled here while Nicholas was inside the cafe speaking to his challenger of the meatball dish last night. The guy actually worked here and when he saw Nicky, he asked him, "How do you take care of those guns?" LOL! What do we have here, a rundown boat shack? Cooner went for another swim here. Lila on the rocks... The boys found a kayak! They decided to take it out for a spin. Cooner kept rocking the boat! LOL! "Get away, Cooner!" said Nicky. The resilient dog followed his dad everywhere he paddled. He just kept barking as he swam. LOL!

Big thanks to the people of Pender Island for their warmth and hospitality!!!
