Tofino Happenings: Part One

Okay, peeps! Whew...finally got pictures from Tofino sorted out! (I know our mom's want to see em..he he). Anyway, I narrowed em down a lot and kept the good, good ones...and I have no craftiness that I can share from the weekend, So here's our trip (can't remember if I blogged these first pictures or not...so, sorry if it's a repeat!):

We start off with the way we got to Vancouver Island - float plane. It takes about 6 1/2 hours by bus, so we thought we'd splurge and we'd both never been on a float plane before, so this is what the dock looked like...(oh! And Z's camera has funny automatic light settings, so these look really overexposed, but kind of acid-washed, too...me likey) Our little crew and passengers walking toward our plane...sooo much more fun then waiting in a stuffy airport! That's me with the giant backpack!

My hubby....he was sooo excited bout the plane! he he...There were about 8 passengers, and when we got in the pilot was like, "I need someone to come sit up front with me", and Z was like "Ooh! Me! Me!" and raced up there...lol. So fun! The flight was awesome, they fly pretty low, so we could check out the ocean and see to the bottom and stuff...it was loud and a little bumpy, but cool! The view from Z's front seat:
And the dock as we land on the water in Tofino...Yay!
I forgot the rest of the pictures at home (doh!...) So I'll post em as soon as I can this week!

And thanks to Katie for this peek of my projects at CHA on the Freehand Scraps Blog! he he....it was funny to see me 'there'...lol. It's also so fun to see peeks from CHA popping up all over! yay!

Annnd...scrap goodies coming from me soon! I have my Dozens' kit and the Paper Minx kit to play with. I got a biiig shipment of shipping supplies for my etsy store today, thinking I would have time to work on that this month (not!)...lol..Z and I are both overwhelmed with projects - he has 3 different projects to animate/test on, and I have designs to finish and draw, projects to finish sewing, kits to use, haircuts to get, etc. etc. before we rush off to Calgary and then the weekend after that, Victoria. Whew!

We did have a good weekend, and we took some minutes off to go for walks in the sun, check out the baby raccoons, watch Batman Begins (we're both dying to see the new Batman! Eeek!) and Charlie Bartlett (so funny!) and eat popcorn...yum! I even went shoes-for-the-wedding shopping! =) Oh, and our walls have been ripped open, I totally jinxed us...and the water's tasted like new plastic pipes and sometimes doesn't get hot for 20 minutes on the hot-as-it-can-go setting. Argh. Having a shower has not been fun! So, that about sums up the world of Michelle for today; I feel like I will be constantly busy until halfway through August...lol...but, you know, fun busy. =) And I can't wait to see my friends and go to Melissa's wedding and hug my family in like, 4 days! Yay! Happy Monday, everyone!
