First day...a trek into Gowlland Tod Park into McKenzie Bight.

I married into a special family Part 3 aka he definitely got some of his father's genes.
My husband
the tree climber
And we stumbled upon a who-done-it. A murder scene...
Victim: Mr. Deer?
More of Mr. Deer. It was the perfect murder, we had no idea who done it.
I married into a special family Part 4. I don't think the sandwiches we brought were enough for lunch.
Jeremy has watched too many Jackie Chan movies...
The next day it was off to up island. We stopped at the Malahat Viewpoint to take in the views.
Mom and Dad.
First stop: Little Qualicum Falls park.
Here we are at the falls part.
It was gorgeous.

Next stop: Cathedral Grove to walk amongst the trees.
Old growth forest...really old and huge trees.
Jeremy found a new place to stay.
Looking up and up and up...
The inside and the outside of the tree.

Third stop: Old Englishman River Falls
They were so beautiful.
Jeremy--no! Don't jump! But if you insist, hold on while I take a picture...
Jeremy wants to learn to fly
My man by the falls.
Wandering around the rocks at the falls.
Photographers, explorers...
A smaller waterfall down Old Englishman River.
My silly husband, the confused tree hugger.
We found a little known viewpoint by cliffs that dropped down into nothingness...no fences...twas a little scary.
But a beautiful view.
Our last stop that day was to wander Rathrevor Beach to watch the sunset.
Father and son.
It was beautiful.
Sunset was gorgeous.
And I found a fallen star.
