Treasure Island

Which is the real treasure? 

The things we saw and learned about?  Seals, tide pools, slugs, tides, rowing, steering, and so much more. 

The things we feasted upon?  Pancakes and blackberries, peanut butter and jelly, Peak Frean cookies, fried oysters, steamed & buttered clams, ling cod, prawns, ice cream cones, and more. 

The things we found?  shells, rocks, sticks, "Real" buried treasure!  ;)    

All of the above, but more than that, watching our kids and my parents experience it all together, and experiencing it all with them myself, too.  I just wish C could have been there, especially for all the feasting on fresh seafood.

Don't worry, GB, you'll get your turn next month!  Grandparents are still the best thing in all the world to these boys.

I think it's practically a treasure trove!! Time with Grandparents is so special for kids----and what a wonderful place to spend your time.

another spectacular homeschooling adventure! As with so many of your pics, those photos will be treasures for the boys when they are grown. (and now)

Thank you thank you thank you. I had nearly forgot the winter trip when my husband slipped off of Wallace Island into the ocean and we bucked the narrows at flood enroute to Gabriola Island. Can't wait to get back to cruising in BC. Your photos are perfect.

I love getting a glimpse of others' childhoods. We grow up in the same country, yet our experiences are so different -- I'd love to have hunted for such treasure with my grandparents. Your boys will love looking at the photos and remembering these times.
