Oscar Playdates

We started with four and added a fifth during the day.  He found us by calling for Epic Off Road on the radio.  That was entertaining.  
We were on local hills and trails.

All the gorgeous sites.
A crap ton of 'oh shytes'.  We did a whole bunch of trails.  Started off strong with 'fuc# my mirrors' and 'x-trail' then onto new ones for us that we weren't ready for. 'Boobie Bouncer' and 'Broken Gear'.  Oscar got some scuffs.  Everyone there got some stuffs.  It was very tight and technical.


Top of the world.

Wow.
The pictures just never do it justice.

Ryan and family are stuck up a tree.  Oscar's winch to the rescue.  Nothing makes Jeepers happier than using their winches.  

It was a great day, although challenging and exhausting.

Day two, it was just Georgie and Oscar.  We opted for views rather than challenges.  Started out in Lake Cowichan, back road to Nitnat a few stops along the way.  Bamfield, Pachena Bay and dinner at Pizza Factory in Port Alberni then bypass, shortcut back roads home.  In the dark and snow where we came across a few obstacles to overcone.  So the whole day wasn't easy ;) We left at 8:30 and just made it to pick Jia up at 10.  Super long day but so worth it.


Nitnat campground.  Just gorgeous and I want to go back.  We camped there 30 years ago. They fill up in a couple hours for booking online now. There isn't much available and no water sites left for this summer. It's too hard for me to plan summer right now anyways with not knowing my surgery schedule.



Flora Lake.





It was a waterfall day.
So much water out there!
Also an incredible amount of fallen trees.

He actually moved this rock to gain another foot of clearance for the Jeeps.

I forget the name of these falls but the whole day was worth this moment alone.

Wow.  Total awe. Soooo loud.

I think I need a ball cap to fit in.



I stayed in the car.  It was freezing out.  Yet another stupid moment by big boys.  Obstacle.  They layed down a few fallen tree pieces and rocks and just climbed over the wall with the Jeeps.   It ended up a lot easier than anticipated. I would have just turned around, I'm the killjoy, weak link in these adventures.  

More waterfalls even in the dark.

We found lots more areas to explore and Jen hasn't ever been to a drive up burger place so we need another play day in the area. 

The kids opted once again to miss all of that.  Go figure.  We went wrong somewhere in the parenting.  Luk is doing a great job of keeping Kai fed while we're off on our adventures.

Back to real life tomorrow.  School, appointments and chores.
