Saturdays are for lazy brunches, long, meandering walks headed nowhere and plans to have no plans.
That was us today at Stanley.
Sarah's brilliant idea was to head out to Stanley for brunch, take a spin around the boardwalk and come back. Aided by warm weather and the first day all week in which it didn't rain, we needed no encouragement to agree with her.
We were sitting down at the restaurant by 11:20 am and tucked into our breakfasts not long after. Breakfast being cheeseburgers for Jack and I and a more traditional one of melon, english muffins, eggs, ham, sausage and tea for SAM. Then, we were out of there by the lunchtime rush.
Marvelous.
We were blessed by a breeze while we explored all around Stanley and absolutely overjoyed at how perfectly the day had turned / was turning out.
With Stanley Market, quiet bits of shore and historical buildings, we spent the early afternoon until about 3:00 just wandering together.
After a brief break at Pacific Coffee to recharge the grownups and Margaret, we headed home on the bus.
Thank goodness for that, too, because dinner was hot pot with us and our closest eight friends so having a rest beforehand was essential.
A wonderfully engaging (and filling) time was had by all.

What wonderful pictures! I especially love the "prettiest girls I know" one! What great expressions! I feel totally tided over for this Saturday.
What fabulous pictures! Miss Margaret was certainly in a happy place. Love her laughing. How did you ever capture that moment? Thank you!!
It's 6:30am Sunday morning and Margaget is cooing and chatting away in he crib and has been for a half hour. Do I get her up to allow her parents a weekend speep-in or continue to listen to one of nature's most heart warming sounds. Thesr are tough decisions. It's not easy being me :)
agh! look at that little person! such a great series of photos. nice work, John. I think the one of SAM and Margaret roaring at one another deserves a framed spot on your wall. I am printing it out for our fridge.
