Lina + Ryoh

Last weekend we had our anniversary shoot. As always, we had Mark, who did our engagement, wedding, and previous anniversary shoot, this year as well. It’s really great when everyone is comfortable with each other and know what to expect during the shoot.

This years location was at Britannia Heritage Shipyard in Richmond. What a cool place to take photos. Not to mention the gorgeous weather we had.

Masayuki was having so much fun that he thought he would take some photos too!


We are really looking forward to seeing the photos and will post a couple of them when we get it.

The last two weeks in Vancouver has been pretty hot, although not really a scorcher. Most of the days have been in the mid to high 20s. We decided that it would be a good idea to take advantage of this great weather.

Splashdown Park:

We planned to go to Splashdown on a Sunday because we had a Groupon for a family admission. Unfortunately, the fine print said “valid Monday – Thursday”. Thus, the family outing was delayed one day. It worked out well because Splashdown was less busy — shorter lineups and premium grass for the suntent. At first I was skeptical of the suntent, but it was handy in providing shade and a safe area for the babies.

White Rock Beach:

The Sekimotos went to the beach, while we went shopping. Ahh… Air conditioning on a hot summer day. We met up with them later where we made two discoveries. Firstly, Reina is a cracker monster. She can single handedly finish a large bag of popcorn. Here is proof:

Secondly, Masayuki’s kryptonite is GRASS! It gives him the heebie jeebies. It was funny to watch his adverse first interaction with grass.
