Well, it's been awhile but finally the update with our summer holiday pictures. We left K'town on July 25th and headed straight for Parksville, BC.
A first trip on the ferries for the boys - not quite as exciting as they had hoped
but they made it more fun with silly faces.

Joel was totally impressed - who would have thought one could play with the jellyfish. 
The next day was spent at the beach collecting small crabs

It was Joe's birthday so we finished up the day with a seafood extravaganza dinner (fresh salmon, prawns and scallops purchased at the harbour) followed with blackberries and peaches over angelfood cake - I really should have taken pictures but we were too hungry.
A special tour from Uncle Corey the next day and some more beach combing
and then off to Thetis Island and Pioneer Pacific Family Camp.
And we'll save that for another post.
