A scooterer and a screamer

Two going on Ten!

Happy Birthday to me! I made sure every piece of tissue paper was torn off before I got to my gift.

"Oo! Ball" Playing soccer is one of my favorite past times.

Trying on some new clothes

A sword! Enough said.
A scooter so I can skate with my dad! (I'm pretty good if I do say so myself)

Mommy made me a puppy dog cake.

Mmm, good.

Have I told you that I like cake?!

Ooo, maybe too much cake!

Me and my dad.

A big breakfast for a big boy!

We had a birthday party in the park.

Enjoying some hot dogs with my guy friends.

Mommy made Happy Birthday cupcakes for the party.

Holidays in July

We went to the mainland and visited our friends, the Olofsons!

We went to the zoo and saw soo many animals!

This baboon was as interested in us as we were in him!

Snack break at the zoo.

I loved looking at all of the animals! Each one was more exciting than the previous one.

It was very hot while we were there--Brianna is keeping cool in her sundress.

I kept cool in the pool.

We also went camping for our holidays!

Mmmm, hot dogs. My favorite!

My favorite place to play was in the fire pit.

The ash was great for digging in.

Climb right in so I can reach better

Covered in soot! Perhaps rubbing my eyes was not a good idea...

I liked helping daddy chop the wood.

I liked it so much, that he bought me my own hatchet! Watch out trees, here I come!

Ahhh, roasting marshmallows in the camp fire--this is the life!

Brianna enjoyed the fire too, but from a distance.

Just me and my sis!

I'm telling Brianna all about my sleep in the tent--she's a great listener!

We went for a walk in Cathedral Grove.

This is a Big tree!!

It goes up, up, up!

Beautiful Sproat Lake--this is where we camped at. We had a great summer holiday!

Dancing

It's all fun until someone gets an elbow to the face!

Camping

I was more than willing to chop wood for the fire, but I couldn't get the hatchet out.

Enjoying a walk through the woods.

Just me and my dad.

I was so eager to help mom wash the dishes, I even washed down the bench.

I'm pretty much a little man now.

Family Visit

Wilcox/Baker clan

Big happy family

Now a happy family of four!

Big brother & Little sister

Proud to be walking with Grandpa--I even dressed like him today!

Just chillin' with Grandma

Throwing rocks with Auntie Sharon

Catching some rays with Mommy

Mommy and I took Grandma and Grandpa on a ferry to Saltspring Island

I loved watching the sea--we even saw dolphins! (at least the fin of a dolphin)

Brianna is just a half pint!

She likes to make funny faces.

Daddy and Mommy enjoyed a walk on the beach while I played with Auntie Sharon

We took Auntie Sharon to Parksville to play at the huge park...

...and play at the sandy beach!

"The beach is that way"
