A couple of weekends ago we spent the weekend, with an awesome crew, on a beautiful island! We vacationed with our small group from church - we started meeting together last Sept and have really enjoyed getting to know everyone! We are all at very similar stages of life and it's been fun to live life together - in all of the wonderful and craziness of having young families.
Here we are - 12 adults (3 of whom are currently pregnant) & 11 kids (4 and under!)
Mayne Island is CUTE - it's 21 km squared - located in the gulf islands - it's beautiful and feels a little bit magical :)
the road to the cabin - are you feeling the magic?
another part of the magic is the fact that you kind of feel like a disney character with the amount of wildlife around! one night we were sitting on the deck and you could count 11 deer wandering around the yard!
our beach...magical right?!
we spent a lot of time treasure hunting down at the beach and also kayaking!
the porch was well used - many a meal was shared there and look at the ocean view - dining in style!
craft time - glitter tattoos for everyone!
on the Saturday that we were all there it was the Mayne Fall Fair - it was a perfect little country fair! we started the fun with a parade!
waiting patiently for the festivities!
the parade was fantastic! so many cute different floats and people in costume - it was very creative and everything you think of when you think of a country fair!
after the parade we visted the farmers market and checked out some of the displays which of course included a petting zoo
the local firemen and firetrucks were there for kids to see - Sully of course LOVED this!
one night after our boys were in bed we took advantage of having others around to "watch" our kids (aka listen to our monitor) and snuck away for a little walk just the two of us - bliss!
Our boys tend to wake up early when we are all sleeping in the same room so the last morning there we got the boys up and headed to the island's lighthouse. It was a fun little early morning family adventure!
it was a peaceful, glorious morning!
