day six...


Today we went to a far away beach.  We went to kayak but the winds were too high, so we couldn't kayak.  We'll just have to find a lake in Colorado to kayak on sometime soon!

The beach was on the west coast of Vancouver Island and it was beautiful.  We had to take a 15 minute hike to get there.  It was so very different because we had to walk through what felt like a rainforest to finally reach the beach!


Look at how big this tree trunk is!  It makes Daddy look really small!


And here's the beach.  We watched a surfer and looked for rocks.  We may have even found a few for you guys!

Looking back from the shore...


This is a funny plant that I wanted to show you guys!


After lunch, we went to a famous place in Canada called Butchardt Gardens.  It was the most amazing garden we've been to, I think.  We'll tell you more about it.  We took a lot of pictures, but will only put a few here.  Here's what they call the Sunken Garden...


There were tulips everywhere!!!!!











I loved finding this one tulip in a group of hundreds that were all yellow.  This one had ONE petal that was red instead of yellow.



Daddy was amazed at how big some of the tulips were!




This path in the Japanese Garden made me think of you guys.  I imagined that it would be hard to stop you guys from falling in the water!  I'm glad we didn't!


We are off to Seattle tomorrow.  We have to take the Ferry in the morning and then we are going to a famous market in the afternoon.

We are so excited to see all of soon!  We love you!
