Enchantment!

This week we ventured to the Enchanted Forest while on HAW DE DAYS!!
I remember stopping here as a child, the memories are a bit fuzzy.
But how can a child forget at huge wonderland found under a tarp of trees.
What a wonderland it is indeed for little folks.
So fun to be able to take my wee man to sites that I saw with my parents so many years ago.
Last year this unique site turned 50!

It is truly a stop that everyone should consider.
Winding your way through the forest visiting old fairytale superheroes.
It can seem a bit creepy (the artistic design is a bit.... interesting) but you can't help but feel like you've stepped back in time.


You see these all over the park and I can't help but wonder who the heck would smoke in such a wonderful place for children?  GEESH!

And the cow jumped over the moon!

3 little piggies! Bean wasn't to keen to follow Grama into these houses. 
Can you blame him by the look of that wolf.  (See, I told you the artistic design was interesting).

However he was a huge fan of the Pooh family.  Hugs and Kisses all around!

We followed that famous yellow brick road and found more!!

A very rare photo with Mumma!

There were so many mini houses, complete with beds, stairs, tea sets.
Pretty much kid heaven!
We always knock before entering.

This was indeed my favourite!

Uhm... CREEPY!?

Where imaginations can run wild..

I can never take enough of these photos of my Mom and my boy.

Not sure how long this guy has to stay balanced on this wall.

Check this park out if you have a chance.
Just between Revelstoke and Sicamous British Columbia!

Have a beautiful weekend!
PEACE.

Haw-dee-days!

HAW DEE DAYS! (Holidays) is our newest word.
Grama & Papa were recently away for a 3 week adventure and since Bean is used to seeing them so much the only way we could explain the absence was to help him understand Holidays.
It comes out just like that HAW DEE DAYS...
And now....
WE ARE ON HAW-DI-DAYS!

Find me on instagram (plusoneweebean) and search #atthelakewithgrama!

Before leaving the city we saw this unique set up!
Check them out on Facebook (Tractor Canada).
Agriculture is perhaps one of the most under appreciated industries and one of the most important.  It feeds our people, long before Safeway and Superstore were ever a dream.  

FIELD PIT STOP!
Road trips with littles involve many a pit stop!

I've been visiting this corner of heaven since I was a little girl.
I have so many summer memories as a youngster and teenager from Mara Lake, BC.
I'm so happy to share it with our little for a second time.


My Bean can dig and load dirt like nobody's business!
He is a hard core sand mover in his mini sand box at home so right about now I believe he is in heaven.

Our bedtimes are pushed and shifted to enjoy every bit of beach time we can.


And we are so grateful for Grama!
She shares her paradise with our entire family all summer long.
This is her original dream!

It's OFFICIAL!

We are adding to our family!
No, not another baby. Ha! Got ya!
I've officially created a Photography Company.
Scary!
Exciting!
Overwhelming!
I kind of feel like we've just birthed another child.
I have limited business skills at this point but lucky for me I have great family and friends to lean on. I've thrown myself into this with an open heart and mind and am hoping to pick up tips and learn along the way.

ShutterBEAN Photography is open for business!
I'm still working on learning and understanding this love of mine, set up prices etc., but I've spent time with some wonderful folks and have come a long way.
Thanks Laurie, a very soon Mamma to be and friend. She's been a big inspiration to me and will continue to be my BEAN's official photographer when she is off maternity leave.

HUGE shout out!
Find ShutterBEAN Photography on Facebook! LIKE me on Facebook.
Of course I've set things up and snuck off on holidays with no steady wifi connection for a few days (i never said i was brilliant). I'll get to some updating in between cold fruity drinks and beach time with my amazing wee man!
Have a great week! Thanks for sharing in my excitement!!

LUV!!
