June to December 2025

Here is a selection of photos from our summer back in Ladner, BC. Plus a great holiday in Spain in September. And our family trip to Disneyland in October. Then Jonathan and family visited us in La Paz for nearly 6 weeks. 
We are back in Canada now for Christmas with the whole family.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2026.

A great game of golf with 'old' neighbours!

Rylie's first visit to Bard on the Beach

A lovely Mother's Day treat

We visited Thom & Karen on their boat on Pender Island

Very strange....

A trip on BC Ferries with Lilly

Aba gets some help with the birthday candles! (Cool haircut Oakley)

A round of beach golf at Bucaneer Bay with Gillian and Jeff

After 18 hours flying to Madrid, Paul doubles up on breakfast beverages

At Danni's we had the world's best tortilla - really good

A visit to a jazz club

Leanne was happy visiting the huge Sunday market.

We left Madrid to start 'hiking' on the Costa Brava, and Leanne needed to hydrate

The coastal path near Roses was easy-peasy

The view from our swanky hotel - The Almadraba

The hiking gets serious from Roses to Cadaqués

Roughly halfway, there were a lot of ups and downs!

Beer has never tasted so good!

Cadaqués was beautiful

So was our next destination - El Port de la Selva

We saw a wonderful concert, musicians from Croatia, Argentina and Iran!

More 'sweaty' coastal hiking. 

Sunday afternoon paella

El Port de la Selva to Palau Savadera was seriously strenuous!

Almost at the top

it was actually harder going back down again

Having proved our fitness, we spent a week at Alan & Paul's

Look at that physique...

Then a week at Dina & Simon's place near Alcaucin

Incredible visiting the Alhambra in Granada

This guy 'nose' his jamon

Paul could identify with this lovely old ceramic poster in Malaga

Leanne is partial to 'chips'

We visited Disneyland in October and got to meet the real Mickey Mouse

What a brilliant time we had! 

Breakfast buffet with all the characters (and some Disney ones too)

The princesses get treated with due respect.

Paul's favourite part of the whole place

Best day ever!

Halloween pumpkin carving

Back again to Mexico, and Huntly's first time in the pool

J&K's friends Cody & Melissa visited

Kendrianne loves a good 'segunda'

Cooking outside every night with guest chef Lilly

Mexican Revolution Day parade was spectacular

The horses were last in the parade...

One of their last days started with a spectacular sunrise (then it rained!)

Jonathan is able to work from literally anywhere!

Lilly also loves a 'gunda'

Rylie loves to ride

Meanwhile back in Ladner, it's getting Christmassy

Oakley is a real hockey player now! 

This fella just wants to go back to the beach!
