She loves a weekend away...

So, we've been in a bit of a rut lately.  The weather is just nonstop rain, cold, wind or snow around here, and we're getting a little bit of cabin fever!  So, we saw a little sunshine and decided to take advantage of it!  Started packing up first thing in the morning for a weekend away on the boat!  We headed up to our favourite weekend getaway

The Wigwam Inn was a hotel built in 1910 (just celebrated it's 100th anniversary!) located at the tip of Indian Arm in BC.  It's no longer a hotel, but has been purchased (in the mid 80's) by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and is a members-only outstation.  We are so fortunate to be able to come here whenever we want, in just a short 2 hour boat trip!  (you can read a little more on the history of the Wigwam here: http://www.nvdpl.north-van.bc.ca/resource-guides/current-events/wigwam-inn-one-hundred-years

So.....getting all excited at our little glimpse of sunshine, we head out on the water!  Whoot whoot! 
But unfortunately, we arrived to a lot of this:

So, we ended up just doing a lot of this:

At least day two was filled with a little more sunshine than the previous day, and we actually were able to do some playing outside!

And.........we caught ourselves a crab!!!!  Wahooooo!

Let me out!!!

I love how the kids are terrified that the crab will chase after them!

Finally got the nerve up to get a little closer!

So, cold or not, we had a great time!  I mean, how can you not?  Away from the house for the night, no cleaning necessary, in the company of some fantastic people, floating on the water!  How could it be any better?!?!  Well, we could have had some warm weather, but we'll get there!
Hope you had a great weekend too!  And since we didn't get any of the real stuff, we'll leave you with the sunshine we created on our own!  Kate's kisses always warm me up!
