The Colyn Family Blog 2015: March 2009

What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

Sundays

It is often on Sunday that I miss our family the most!!

Today I am wishing there was no Beaufort mountain nor Malahat or Straight of Georgia.

Nubah the dolphin

One of our favorite memories from our trip to Mexico (other than mom on tequila) was hanging out with some dolphins. This one is pregnant and is 7 years old her name is Nubah. The other one was named Ukala. Before our time was finished in their pool they did flips over our heads! It was so super cool !

Hi Everyone - hope you all had a good spring break. It was nice seeing lots of you over the past while. Henk and his gang were over this weekend and we went crabbing off of the Nanaimo docks. This sucker came up with the trap. It will feed us for weeks.
