Dominic's re-enactment of Shaelyn's infamous dishwashing picture. |
 |
Alex spotted three large owls in the lower Douglas Fir grove as we began our hike up Pender Hill. I should have brought my big camera. . . . |
 |
Dad and Alex peering up into the trees. The owl had its big eyes trained on us but did not swoop down to take our hats. |
 |
When you hike slowly you have an opportunity to see more. A millipede making its way around the moss. |
 |
A very tiny ant was lifting this bit of cone litter up and over the root. |
 |
Alex and Dad looking at the south end of Texada Island towards Lantzville/Nanaimo in the far distance. |

 |
A snake survey board. Nice?! |
 |
Oh, post-hike pie at Grandma's! |
 |
I don't think the boys will suffer. |

The Tolkamp's have arrived. Honking and waving. . . |
 |
. . . followed by hugs and hello's. |
 |
Calvin backs up the trailer like a pro. |
 |
Shaelyn gets cranking. |

Fire time. |
