We thought maybe we could get Samantha (our GPS) to panic when we were crossing on the ferry but she was too smart.
When we arrived in a Parksville it was time for the annual herring run. They travel through Parksville in massive numbers and the water becomes a gorgeous turquoise. There are dozens of fishing boats collecting them to sell. The seals feast on them. For about the first week all we heard night and day was barking seals. It was a nice change from all the barking dogs in Mexico. You can see a little strip of turquoise in this picture. It kept moving across the bay every day.
There are so many things in bloom here.
We went to watch Colton at tae kwon do. Unfortunately all of the action shots turned out blurry.
We had a teeny, tiny crack in the corner of our kitchen window when we left Winnipeg. It kept growing & growing in the Baja. It was time to get it fixed.We went for a picnic to Stamp River with Jay & the kids one day. We had to stop at Coombs on the way to buy Goats on the Roof hot sauce for a friend.
The next stop was Port Alberni for the best doughnuts on the Island. It had been a long time since I'd had a doughnut but I'd have to say it was probably the best I've ever had. While enjoying our doughnut we sat on a dock and watched an RCMP dive boat preparing to go out to practice.
We have been having fun with my sister Shelley and her husband Rene. We went to their house one night for a Mexican dinner party and had a sleepover. On another weekend we went to their lake house at Lake Cowichan for a sleepover. Cleo enjoyed the view.
If anyone wants a great trailer, our Wildcat is up for sale.
We camped at Rathtrevor Beach for a couple of days on Easter weekend with Jay & Elfie & the kids.
How cute are they?
We have now moved to Living Forest campground at the south end of Nanaimo. Unfortunately it is a lot farther from the grandkids but we are really enjoying it. There is a great off leash area to walk Cleo and we have made friends already. We went to a pretty good party last night.
