I don't know what any of you were doing last weekend but I don't think you had as much fun as we did.
It seems we started a tradition and the weekend after school starts is when we head to Tofino to do some camping. Every year it gets better. The first year we were NOT prepared for the cold nights but now we come equipped. Layers of warm clothes, fuzzy socks, extra blankets and this year (thanks to a tip from a mom at school) hot shots. Yep, the same ones you we use in Manitoba to heat your hands in winter. Stick them in your sleeping bag and you are toasty. At one point I actually thought it was burning my back.
We arrived late Friday night, started a fire and set up. Had a bit of a mishap with the tent, the string that keeps the poles together came apart, but we pieced it back together and in no time were ready to go.
We also had the coolest campground. It was huge and surrounded by all these cool trees with huge roots.
Saturday morning we awoke to a beautiful fresh day. Cooked our breakfast and headed to Mackenzie Beach for a hike.
After lunch it was time.....time for Ter to get back to his true calling and surf.
He carved it up. It was epic.
Saturday night, time to get back to the beach and watch the sunset.
the tide was out and Willow was able to walk out to an island and
find some starfish.
Sundee decided that on Sunday morning we would go down to the
beach and have our breakfast.
Another best for the weekend. Best idea ever! And it was just so beautiful.
When we got there it was sunny and bright with a bit of fog in the distance.
Then the fog seemed to clear and it was so warm.
Suddenly the fog rolled in and you couldn't even see the water any more.
this was all in the span of half an hour.
here is me. enjoying my coffee, God's awesome creation and my incredible weekend.
**another thing to always bring on a chilly campout. Uggs, or in my case "Uggs".
