I have so many awesome pics from this week. Will post as fast as I can. It is taking me a long time to post process them in between all the canning. Having so much fun!
From the top - Yuna, Antonia, Charlotte, Svenja, Leonie
We are so grateful to share our home with all of you from Germany. Thank you for coming!
This is the home that the Rennecke's lived in during their time in Canada
Helping out with pond
Yuna...wishing this was a swimming pool...
The girls are taking a break
Guess what Yuna is doing?....again...
After dinner we went for a walk along Fisherman's Rd and the sky was amazing!
The Stars were out and I really tried to capture them
We were sad to leave Svenja and her family but she chose to stay and hang out with her friends instead of coming to Vanvouver Island with all of us. So they house sat for us and did an awesome job. My flowers never look this good! Thank you Renneckes! Never mind the other odd jobs they did. We are forever grateful.
We and the Merkels left on Saturday in separate vehicles and drove as far as Hope. Using our "roger, roger" walkie talkies we entertained each other with anecdotes and some songs meant for long drives. We were also able to share some history of each town we passed by.
After checking into our motel, the owner highly recommended a hike to the Orthello tunnels. A must see she said and boy was she right!
Everyone kept saying, look there is a fish jumping! But I was afraid of looking over the edge so I just held my arm out and pointed the camera down and clicked. Do you see any fish jumping? Me neither....
Photo Bombed!
Antonia was tired of her family and chose to ride to Nanaimo with us.
On the ferry from Tswassen to Duke Point. There was a major accident on the freeway into Vancouver, so we detoured as this was closer.
Can you tell that Brent is napping?
You can't really tell from this picture that it really was kinda' cold!
We met up with everyone again in Nanaimo. Merkels picked up their son in Vancouver and we did a major grocery shop. What a long day...
Our cabins were beautiful and came with a tree growing in the middle? And upstairs too! It was fondly named Loretta...
Our first meal in Ucluelet
West coast of Vancouver Island is very foggy in August and called Fogust by the locals. We hiked the Pacific Coast Trail on our first day. I never get tired of this hike.
Someone got rocks stuffed into her holy jeans and Dad was not helping as he was laughing way too hard!
....couple of selfies...
The guys rented bicycles and road to Radar Hill. We girls explored a bit in Tofino.
Found a wonderful little coffee shop
....and then we went whalewatching, so much fun. Luna laughed and screamed every wave we hit. She had everyone on the boat laughing with her. I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so much.
Leaving the dock
All these boats racing back home, we thought we were going at the wrong time?!
Sea lions
I had a hard time focusing between the boat hitting the waves, Yuna's laughing, and the sea salt hitting my glasses. So I did the best that I could.
Bears
Seals
Homeward bound
Then some rented SUP's
Yuna learning to crochet....and Boots too!
Finished the headband...looks perfect! Good job Yuna!
Cutting onions .... Something to cry over ;-)
