Here we are on the Ferry from the Vancouver area to the Sunshine Coast. Everyone liked the scenic ride, and the kids were delighted to discover there was a play area right on the boat.
Everyone wonders how we manage with 3 kids in the Passat. It is a tight squeeze, but there is constant entertainment for Emily with her brothers on either side of her. Here they are enjoying some delicious Terra bread brought from Vancouver. Bruce is the master packer to fit in all of our luggage in the car. I really should have gotten a car shot with the kayak and 2 bikes on the roof for you to get the full effect of how we are travelling.
Here is a photo of the house we stayed in and the rocky beach at low tide. If you look really closely Bruce is with Emily in the distance. We were right on Sargaent Bay, between Half Moon Bay and Sechelt, perfectly situated for kayaking and beachcombing. We spent just under a week here and then were able visit Chilliwack and Harrison Hot Springs to celebrate a family wedding. A perfect finale to our vacation!
Andrew's favorite beach discovery was the abundant supply of starfish.
The kids liked playing in the house and here Andrew is crawling along with Emily, pretending to be a puppy.
Bedtime stories atop the bunk bed were a special treat. Matthew requested "Tubby and the Lantern", one of my childhood favorites, just about every night.
We found out Emily was quite a good hiker, though technically she didn't touch ground with her feet, on an 8 km round trip hike to the Skookumchuck rapids.
The terrain and distance was no problem for Matthew. Andrew walked the trickier parts, but we did push him in a stroller on the easier terrain. Both boys were delighted by Ginger Cookies and Chocolate milk from the bakery at the end of the trail.
Here are the rapids for those who have not made it to see them yet.
