On Aug 3 Robyn, Seb, & Katy tried out ziptrekking--quite a popular activity around British Columbia. You fly thru the forest clamped to a wire. No, Gramma didn't go. Patricia and hung out at camp watched movies like OVER THE HEDGE.
Aug. 4 found us all about an hour from Victoria on Qualicom Beach. BCers love their beaches and actually play in the surf. However, Forrest described the water temp by saying "it's not as warm now as the Gulf of Mexico in the middle of December." It's all relative.
Check out price tag on umbrella.
We are a classy family.
Aug 5 was our tour of Victoria and while Robyn and I had high tea at the Empress Hotel ($50 a person), Forrest & Katy took kids to water park. We all met later for seafood in restaurant that overlooked harbour.
Pictures below are from bus tour of Victoria. The houses were cute cottages with beautiful gardens.
After tea and the tour, we all met at a seafood restaurant at Victoria Harbour.
I tried to capture some of the night lights on Parliament.
Gramma and Patricia call it a night.

Of all the beautiful photos, I think my favorite is the one of the flowers hanging in front of the port-a-potties.
What a beautiful trip!! Casey and I may have to do parts of it someday.
It looks like you've had a blast of a trip. Too bad you bypassed us here, but you can't go everywhere, can you? LOL!
I popped by to let you know that I have given you a blog award. I wrote about it in my latest post. I know that your travel blog is really a record of your great trip, but I am always cracked up by your descriptions of the events. I would love to travel with someone like you! So, when I got this award, I immediately thought of you, because your blog makes me smile!! I don't know if you'll want to pick up the "award-giving baton" and there is no expectation for you to. It's just a fun thing to let you know someone is thinking about and praying for you!
