Summertime...sort of

We have had only a few days so far that have felt like summer, but we're trying to pack our summer fun into those moments of warmth. Our mid-July camping trip on Saltspring Island was fantastic, particularly when we pretended it was April. Yes, Calla is wearing her toque and fleece jacket in every camping photo...

we saw MANY slugs

monkeying around

lots of beachcombing

and lots of neat creatures

many snakes in the tall grasses

The summer festival season began along with the requisite face painting


more monkeying around

plenty of time for chillin'

Calla and papa spent a day at Playland
(Ada will be big enough next year to join...)

Not until their SIXTH ride on the Flume, did they get soaked
