Gypsy Wagon Adventures: Day 10: Loons, Turtles and Hospitals, Oh My!

I have been slacking on the blog so the first part is 'catch up day' with photos that I missed downloading.

After our amazing hike up Pender Hill yesterday we relaxed by the lake for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Mom was experiencing her typical irregular heart beats; however, they were extra irregular coupled with a very high heart rate (130-150 bpm). When this did not correct itself after a few hours Mom, Dad and I drove to St. Mary's in Sechelt to consult the doctors. Mom was admitted overnight and thankfully her ticker was restored to its regular irregularness in the middle of the night after a few different medications were administered. Armed with a whole new set of medications Mom arrived back home the next afternoon. All is well.

On the Sunshine Coast you never know what you might see. Airplane carcass anyone?

This is more like it. Abby and Shaelyn in the kayak, Calvin swimming the windsurfer in and Alex and Ashton paddling toward Dominic and Bailey on the dock.

There goes a turtle.

Potluck memories.

Marianne knows how to live.

Nap time?

Bailey loves to camp.

After a long day trapped in the Gypsy Wagon working (yes, I work) this hit the spot.

The Kennedy's dine on pie filling toasted sandwiches made over the fire. Stuffing a marshmallow in the middle was the perfect touch.

They won't mind - we are searching for the baby owl that is calling for supper. Success!

Dessert.

Do not let this happy face fool you - this was NOT fun.

Here begins the actual happens of this day. Very few pictures as it was a full day at the 'office' getting summer students off and running in their courses.
