The last two days have been spent on the West Coast of Vancouver Island between Ucluelet and Tofino. The weather turned nasty on us but it did not worry the kids.
We rented wet suits and they became fish for two whole days.
They loved the rough surf.
This beach is right outside out Yurt at Wya Point.
They were very interested in the tidal pools and found a few starfish and aneonomes.
We looked over many beaches but the best one for tidal pools was right at our yurt door.
They played and played.
We did make time to walk on the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet.
And over to the Amphitrite Lighthouse that turns 100 this year.
Next day over to Long Beach, lots of surfers, and the kids loved the strong waves.
Even with the clouds so dark and the rain falling they still swam for hours.
We found a huge starfish hiding in the rocks
We thought we forgot to take a picture of our yurt but here is an inside shot as Matt is getting zipped into his wet suit for another round.
And until almost dark they played, rolled with the waves, many times I thought they were going to be hurt but came up laughing.
So today it was back to Parksville and we did a little mini golf before going down to the Sandcastle competition. The theme was hero vs villian and they were all great, really hard to judge.
We have had a great mini vacation with Matt and Veronica. Thanks for coming with us.
