Our first trip to Tofino as a family!
We were really lucky with the weather as it was supose to rain... a lot. We only got a little of the rain, but the men made such a great tarp covering that it didn't cause too much damage. Camping with a little was is hard enough... everything wet... ugh!
My brother Malcolm and his soon to be some day future wife Jen were with us too. It was such a great time to spend together.
Our first morning however there was a bear in the campsite across from us. I saved the day and banged pots and pans together and he lumbered off. The day we left though... Jen and Mal had a not so great experience... they went to the beach mid day adn when they came back a bear had been in the stuff and ate all their food! A near by camper got a picture of it and will send it the Mal and Jen... I will try to add it to this when I get. YIKES!!!
Rya loved the beach, she was so happy to be just cruising around the beach. Once we put her down in the sand she happily crawled, and crawled and crawled away... only looked back a few times.
Poor old Buffy... the beach just isn't the same anymore with Rya following you around. He just can't seem to shake her.
We were pretty lucky that Rya was happy to talk to herself adn read while we were preparing dinner and things at camp. I don't think that will happen next time we go.
Just hanging out back at camp. We couldn't resist this one.
The water is freezing cold... even mid summer but Rya didn't seem to mind too much... She nearly crawled out to sea!
Rya loved the sand and luckily for us... she didn't love eating it. She did however love lying down on it and put her face right in it. Cute but messy.
On the last night Richard and I "aquired" some sand to bring home for Rya's new sand box. None of the store bought stuff for her... she has the finest qualtiy, floury, fine Tofino sand (shhhhh don't tell)
It was such a great trip with Malcolm and Jen with us... We were blessed with great weather and great times together. Rya got to know her Uncle Mal and (some day soon to be) Aunt Jen much better and also great for them to practice their signing skills too! better keep practising because Rya is catching up!

Well it's offical...she loves the island life!!! Now all you need to do is move here. Do it for you baby! Okay maybe it's for me but I'm sure she'd love it too:)
love lyn
I know they probably looked like Malcolm and Jen but I assure you that is not the case! Look into their eyes! Their wee, beedy, other-worldly eyes! There are aliens about, yes aliens from outer space. Who are only too happy to impersonate friends and relatives in order snatch good-lookin' babies and bring them to their homeworld in order spruce up the place. Be Vigilante, be safe.
