A Day of Exploring






The kids had off on Monday for the Queen's birthday (It feels weird saying that!), so we decided to do some more exploring. We were told that one of the best swimming places is Lake Cowichan. On Saturday it was a really hot day and I was told that people were actually swimming in this lake; however Monday was a rainy day. I don't have pictures of the lake that everyone swims in but we did go further to Honeymoon Bay which is freshwater and beautiful. We also went exploring down to the Cowichan River. We all could not get over how crystal clear the water is around here. You could actually see the bottom of the lake, river and bay. We topped off the day with icecream and french fries!

WE CAN'T GET OVER HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS IN CANADA. WE CONTINUE TO MARVEL AT THE SPACIOUSNESS OF EVERYTHING. CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS SOUNDS SOOO FOREIGN THESE DAYS. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY VISIT. LORI, YOUR CAMERA IS TAKING GREAT PICTURES OF EVERYTHING...OUR GRANDKIDS ARE OUR FAVORITES.
