Pender Harbour, Easter Weekend







We spent the Easter weekend on the Sunshine Coast in Pender Harbour. The girls enjoyed the ferry ride up to Gibsons. Trina, Tony, Teegan and Stella's house is looking great and they're looking forward to being able to enjoy their property full-time.
We had a play on a nearby beach that Teegan and Stella call 'crab beach'. You can guess why. The girls had fun collecting little crabs in their buckets, then letting them go. Once the tide went out we found oodles of purple starfish, Stella is posed here examining the wiggling tentacles on the bottom of a helpless specimen.
The Dads took all the kids to nearby Sechelt where they bought a bag of gold fish each, releasing them into Teegan and Stella's pond later that day.
On Easter Sunday the Easter bunny found us once again. That afternoon, after a huge brunch, we spent a few hours playing at the Sechelt pool where you can zoom down a slide, swing on a rope, or float around a lazy river. A great way to minimize the chocolate damage.
Thanks for the hospitality you guys. We enjoyed your wildlife, and the animals on your property too!
