While we were back in BC, before Tim joined us, Calvin and I were able to spend a bit of time at our family cabin on Hatzic Lake with family.

(To my family who like to refer to it as the “lake house” since the reno, I still prefer “cabin” because it doesn’t remind me of Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.)

This place has always been a place to relax and visit. It was the destination for most of our summer holiday time that wasn’t dedicated to driving to visit Manitoba family. It has recently become the place to celebrate holidays with my mom’s side of the family. Surrounding my sister’s wedding, it hosted some extended family and was the backdrop to wedding portraits.

Swinging with cousins.

It’s a right of passage to ride the mower with Grandpa.

No visit is complete without some BBQ farmer sausage over the fire.

Surveying the landscape.

Maybe one day I will post some pictures of our growing up years spent here. Who doesn’t love a good reminiscing?
