Return to our regular programming

Yes, I know I'm a terrible human... frankly we've just been so exhausted from the work leading up to our parents visit that once they left I just couldn't bring myself to write anything.... the campground still needed to be run and I guess that was all I could manage. 

So picking up where I left off almost a month ago......

Dad relaxing with a good book 

Took Dad to PickleBall - he was just going to watch because of his bad knee but within 5 minutes someone (I was playing on a different court) convinced him to play... he is front left at the net. He loved it, a fun low impact game.

Then we went to a beach in Fulford

Had lunch at Buzzy's

Big steak dinner Brad BBQ'd up for us

Then it was time for Dad to fly home. His flights went off without a hitch which was great and he made it home safe and sound and on time.

Too exhausted to even make a sandwich, Brad and I went to the local golf course for lunch.

We found a new beach with an old Catamaran that looks to need some love
( I want a Leopard 43, if anyone out there wants to get me one...!! )

Awesome beach spot. 
I'd tell you where it is but then it wouldn't be so awesome in short order.

Water goes up and around this corner to another harbour

There is a cabin barely visible in these trees


Another cabin

Incredible wear on these old rocks

You know how long this took to happen...




Incredible

Okay so we are all caught up. 

The campground is running well and we haven't had any issues as yet but the July long weekend is approaching in a few days.... let's hope our luck holds!!!

I will make a better effort to be a better human and get back to my normal writing routine.

Seeing the sights

We've been going around the island seeing all the sights.

Resting after the long drive up the mountain

St. Mary's Lake

We visited Lavender & Black lavender farm

Remember my Uncle Tom and his wife Bea?... they came across from Duncan to see Dad and Meg and we had a BBQ before they had to run off to Victoria for the weekend. Had such a good time we forgot to get any pictures.

The old fogies catching up on the iPhones at the end of the day, my how times have changed.

Today we are going down to the market..... it will be mayhem down there... wish me luck.
