:: Picnic @ Cultus Lake With The Tavakoli’s

 Today we had an impromptu picnic with the Tavakoli Family and Maria’s mom Tess at Cultus Lake. It’s about 1 hour east of Vancouver hidden away in the mountains. This was the first bit of sun we’ve had in a while so it was a welcomed change from all the clouds and rain we’ve been having. It was quite a nice sight. The sun was out and it was quite warm, but in the distance you can see snow capped mountain peaks reflected in the lake.

Young Ayden had a chance to try out his aqua boat out on the open waters which was fully equipped with a propeller and water jet gun. All in all it was a very relaxing, fun day… We walked along the waterfront admiring all of the houses, kicked the footy around, built dams on the beach while the dogs ran around the place crazy as usual…

This was also the first time we’ve seen Keana in a few weeks and boy is she cuter than ever! She looks exactly like Ayden when he was a baby…

It would be great to have a holiday home here to escape from the city madness… oh well… We can always dream…Â
