May Long Weekend


Ahhh, another weekend done. Saturday we did the opening for the Highland Games in Courtenay. Not a bad day but it took me about 4 hours to warm up. Jim was all dressed up in his kilt looking very dapper and didn't feel the cold at all. Never ceases to amaze me.

Sunday we decided to grab Pat and Bob and go hunt down brother Jim who was cam
ping out at Driftwood Bay on Buttle Lake (not far out of Campbell River). As you can see it was not very nice and to top it off Jim & Joanne were out fishing and we never did find them. Pat will kill me if she ever sees this picture.

It sure is beautiful country though but the logging is everywhere, so sad to see. They don't even leave a buffer anymore. Just level everything right to the highw
ay.




As you can see the sun did manage to peak through for a bit. Jim found this old car down one of the many logging roads. Reminds me of Harry Potter...

Then the rains really hit on the way home by Upper Campbell Lake. It was clear in Comox though and we had a beautiful evening and awoke today to clear blue skies and warmer weather. We headed off to the parade in Cumberland and did our duties for the day.
Glad that one's over! I hate being in parades!!

I always enjoy seeing what we are missing in Canada. I may actually get some Hawaii pictures on my blog soon.

Great pictures! I love the logging truck one. And now I'm certain that Hogwarts is somewhere on the island... that car is DEFINITELY the one from the movie. Did you see any dragons on your trip? :) Love Linds
