tiramisu: weekend pics - granville island, rice lake, and italian day

while kai was kayaking (the first of three lessons) stefan and i enjoyed edible canada's summer take-out window, the chip wagon. the fish's batter crispy and the fries perfect. i then meandered around granville island like a tourist... something i wish i could do more often. there is so much to explore - galleries, food, shops, cafes, and entertainers. we feel so lucky to live near such a lovely little oasis.

local strawberries are in!

a bread affair makes such delicious breads.

while kai was mountain biking (he is a busy boy these next few weeks!) stefan and i wandered into the lynn canyon woods again. this time we headed to rice lake and beyond. it was a beautiful vancouver day.

so glad we didn't run into bears!

the three of us got together for a couple of hours during italian day on the drive. cannoli, corn on the cob and a nice thick italian capicola sandwich hit the spot perfectly. we played a round of boccie; it's a game i wish i were better at but enjoy nevertheless. and the music? well, it takes me back to my childhood of attending many traditional italian weddings (and i'm going to one when i visit toronto this summer, can't wait!).
