Destination: West Coast! Part 2

Immediately after conv. we took the narrow windy roads to the Pacific Rim (Tofino and Longbeach). It was a gorgeous drive, very worth our time! Since we stayed for only one full day, we just toured around on our bikes and played on the beach!

This is Sunday evening when we got there.

The next day - checking things out!

The cool sea life!

We had bbq pizza on the beach for lunch! (Sure is handy to have a BBQ along!) Then I practiced some yoga - I've always wanted to try yoga on the beach! :)

The drive back thru - so pretty!

Stopped to stretch our legs at Cathedral Grove!

Arrived back at the Little Shuswap Tuesday night late then spent a lovely relaxing 2 days with the Kendrew clan! (We were supposed to be home sooner, but Reagan decided the plumbing could wait!) ;0)

Dylan wanted to try driving the seadoo and did great! He was even brave enough to have a tube ride! Our timid boy is growing up! Emarie and Jude braved the cold water for a splash around, too!

The evening before we left we took a few shots of Zozo for her mom! I'm confident Kristy had better luck then me..! Anyways, here are the ones I managed!

We had such a terrific time, so many great memories. Thanks to everyone who made our holiday so special!

Summer Trip - Destination: West Coast! Part 1

We were gone two wonderful weeks - we packed up the truck and trailer and headed out Friday afternoon! First stop was Golden for the night then on to Little Shuswap for 24hrs! There we celebrated a birthday, ate a delicious supper and had a really nice visit! (Plus enjoyed a little sun!) 

This is probably my all time favorite place to do yoga! The quiet lake, early in the morning, with the loons calling, and warm sun rising! Breath-taking and very zen!

Then Sunday afternoon we headed to Abbotsford to see G & G Tarves and Auntie Sandy, Uncle Owen and Kids! We stayed the night there and enjoyed a yummy breakfast and short but wonderful visit! 

Monday we caught the 12 pm ferry to Victoria! A beautiful clear day!

We camped at West Marine Bay - close to downtown and Aimee and Kalen's! The kids had fun playing in the (no-so-clean) water and feeding the friendly goose!

Aimee and Kalen's fancy digs! We were spoiled everytime we set foot in their apartment with fun toys and delicious food, etc.! 

Tuesday we strolled around to see some sites! The bug zoo and the marine museum are a must-see!

Notice the cute little yellow water taxi below - so fun to ride in! We took one over to eat fish n chips!

Tasty fish n chips with coleslaw! Also a seal feeding spot!

After lunch - a stroll around the harbour.

Tuesday for supper, Aimee and Kalen showed us this super cool pizza place with the neatest rustic interior, and exquisite pizza and gelato! 

After supper we went to a park and had a little run around!

Wednesday morning, after croissants and danishes for breakfast from the organic bakery below A & K's condo (Yummm!), Aimee took us to a pretty beach.

Then Duncan conv. for the next 4 days! Just love how conv.'s always seem to get better and better.. Was Moss' first conv. and he did awesome! Grandma had to do a little clean up after some fun in the wood chips and dirt! ;)

Last of July

Just a few pictures of some things before we went to B.C for 2 weeks!

Our pretty orchid and black velvet apricots that were sooo very juicy!

Saying good-bye to Lance and Susan and family.. They moved to Sask. and we're going to miss them!

Canoeing in the dirty Blindman! With all the rain we've had this summer, it's actually canoe-able! Michelle and Greg got us all organized and it was quite fun! Reagan even pull in a couple of Jacks!

(Some might be wondering why I was allowed to take my phone in the canoe to take photos - since I've a track record for being in the canoe that always tips! I can say with great pride that there were no casualties!)
