Vacation Part 3: Goldstream Park

One of the fun things about a trip to British Columbia is getting to see family!  And we spent a fabulous day with Michelle and Todd while going on a hike at Goldstream Park.  It was a hot day and what better way to beat the heat than enjoying the shade of the huge bigleaf maple trees!

The hike itself is pretty cool because there's a mix of forest and meadow areas.  We saw a really nice buck deer that didn't seem very phased by our presence and the kids thought that was pretty cool to see.

There's also a neat little nature interpretation center at the park and the kids got right into all the hands on learning experiences.  Here's my own little deer...

Then we crossed under the highway and hiked up a dry streambed to a waterfall.  It was a super short hike... perfect for the kids.  And they were so excited to see the waterfall at the end!

Then we went back to Shell and Todd's for lunch.  It was a fabulous day!
