Canada Trip: Part 3 (Hitting the Beaches)

The best part about visiting British Columbia in July is that the weather is AWESOME and the beaches are gorgeous. So this week we have taken advantage of that. We spent one day at Shawnigan Lake and another day at Esquimalt Beach. It is by far the best free entertainment for small children!

Molly was in heaven. She fed the Canadian geese and built sand castles and played in the surf. She coerced Daddy into wading in the VERY cold ocean up to his chest to retrieve a crab for her. And of course she enjoyed hanging out with her Nani, aunt and uncle.


Garrett was a typical little boy. He was happiest playing in the sand, rubbing mud all over himself, and splashing in the water. He also loved spending time with Auntie Shelley throwing rocks into the ocean.


We quickly realized that our sweet Paige is not into getting dirty. She was happiest when being held and was definitely not thrilled with having sand on her. She and Nani bonded over this and Nani declared that Paige is just like her... built for the spa, not the beach.


And here's Nani enjoying the fact that she could watch her grandchildren have fun at the beach from the comfort of her chair in the shade.
