Family Day

It's a new holiday!  British Columbia celebrated its first Family Day on February 11th 2013, and decreed that it should be observed on the second Monday in Feb each year.  Today was the next, and provided a nice ease-in to work for Hannah after the abrupt end of our island retreat.  But she is off to Calgary tomorrow where it's -20C, so I do still feel a little sorry for her.  We decided to celebrate by walking around the Seawall.  It was raining so I wanted to stay at home but she claimed this wasn't in the spirit of the day.

Here's a nice picture of a tree on a rock.

Yes, that is ice.  The only place you see this in Hawaii is in your cocktail.

The perfect opportunity for me to introduce Pete to an extreme sport!
