beautiful Saanich peninsula

We departed Fort Langley yesterday after having a quick stop at grandma's house to pick up Jen and grab some snacks!  Thanks mom for the HUGE bage of snacks , again!  The last bag was full and this bag seems even bigger!

We caught the 10 am ferry from Tsawassen to Swartz Bay and arrived at the Beachcomber RV park in Saanich just after 12 noon.  What a beautiful location, right on the ocean.  I walked for a few km's on the beach geocaching.  Michael found lots of baby crabs and Terry found a few new birds.  Don Bigham and his dogs came over for a BBQ, bringing steaks, fresh potatoes from his garden and asparagus.  We all had a few cold drinks on the beach with a driftwood fire, wonderful!

Michael has been adamant about starting his grade 5 homeschooling NOW so we did some math yesterday and will work on some science later on today.  I am worried that we will have it all finished too quickly and have been asked by the school not to introduce him to grade 6 work as he will be too bored when he goes back next year.  I will just have to pace him.  He has read 3 huge books so far, I guess we will be looking for book stores sooner than expected.
