Parksville

There's nothing quite like a long weekend at beautiful Parksville, especially when the weather cooperates. The beaches are incredibly sandy and the shallow water lends itself to searching for crabs, clams, mussels and other little critters at low tide.


Hotshot Brooks won the bouncy ball race...


...against her less coordinated competitor!


Urgh! I was so conscious of keeping the score close, Justin ended up beating me at mini-golf due to a couple of late brilliant shots!!! Revenge will be mine!!!


The weather couldn't have been any better. We even saw three deer on the way to mini-golf!


The kids loved the s'mores and log cabin after a long day at the beach!


And the parents loved a glass of red wine after a long day at the beach!


The king of burning marshmallows!


Pouty Justin on the ferry ride home. I don't blame him, Parksville is a great place for a summer getaway!
