Stocking Creek

We took off for an adventure day.  We started out looking for blueberries.  On route we found Stocking Creek Farm.  Never been there.  We had a great time picking.  The owner was great. The bushes were dripping in giant berries.  Hands down the best we've ever tasted.  Kids all picked :)

She wore her glasses!

Kai ate quite a few while picking ;)

Sasha has a bliss nap in the warm morning sun.




We stopped at the Nanaimo River rest stop.  There was a lady there with a horse trailer and a flat tire.  Eric was talking to her.  Max asked if she had a horse in the trailer.  She did.  A retired race horse named Taloche.  He retired at 4, was rescued versus slaughtered.  He's 11 now and he goes camping and trail riding with the lady we met.  She had all of the kids in the trailer to pet him.  They fed him blueberries.  Which he loved.  We even filled a bowl for her to take camping.  As we were leaving she told us she was camping behind Stocking Creek.  What?!  Weird.  Never heard of it and there was two encounters in one day.  We got in the car and talked about how weird that was.



We have to keep our eye on Kai, honestly he is always doing such odd and unpredictable things.  I told her he was super special so she would stay close...he was grabbing for the horses private parts.  What?!  Why?? Then he was asking lots of questions but she didn't understand him.  Oy. 



Next was sandcastles in Parksville.  Time at the water park.  Then to Coombs for ice cream.  Kids were all tired so we headed home.  Plan was to drop Sasha at home, pick up Lili and meet friends ( Max's parents) for dinner.  I texted a time line and she texted back "just leaving Stocking Creek Park".  Seriously!  Crazy.

They wouldn't let me carry Sasha in so one of the volunteers offered to hold her.  Was weird to leave her but she had so much fun with the puppy showing her off.  Sasha didn't care she was happy to have attention lavished on her.

The boys played together in the water park for two hours.  They had so much fun they skipped lunch!
