Summer fun on the island

We've had some fabulous weather so far this summer. Our little pool has seen lots of action! And yes, we do spoil the kids by adding warm water. I do wonder if we're turning them into wimps when it comes to water temperature.


We had a family bike cleaning day early in spring. The kids got a kick out of washing their own bikes. Both of them have since moved up to bigger sets of wheels.

I suspect that the next time we take them out on the road, Kian will be ready to give up the training wheels.



We picked up a tent trailer in spring and have taken it out camping twice so far. The first trip was just up the highway to Goldstream Park. We only stayed one night as there wasn't a whole lot there to keep small children (and their parents) entertained.

Our second trip was out to French Beach on the west shore. A much better choice for all of us. The kids loved watching the waves on the beach. Kian climbed everything in sight that could possibly be climbed. Even Keira got in on some of the climbing action.





We're still contemplating our next camping destination. There are so many places to choose from on the island that we'll have quite a few years of exploring before we run out of new campgrounds and parks to choose from.
