Last week I headed out to the Island with the kids for a few days of vacation. Paul joined us later after his classes were done for the week. We love going there to visit Paul's parents. Cici even said that she feels so relaxed there, I agree!
One of our favourite things we do is to visit Little Qualicum Cheese Works. We visit all the animals and get some yummy cheese to go! Our timing was great this visit as it was calving time. We visited the Maternity Pen and saw all the mama's waiting to give birth. In fact, one of the mama's was VERY close. I was hoping to witness the event! There are some pens where the 2-5 day old calves spend their first days. On our first visit, there was one calf. We went back to the farm again 2 days later and there were 2 more that had joined him. Our mama in waiting had given birth. It was fun trying to guess which one of the newborns was hers.
Of course spring is the time for lots of baby animals at the farm.
This little lamb had just been born too. Her umbilical cord was dried up but still attached and her mama still had signs of the birth still on her. She was brand new!
The sun did come out on our last days and we soaked it in. Boy we miss the sun.
We also love going to the beach when we are there. This time of year the seagulls feed on Herring roe.
Lots of gulls and 3 kids equals great fun!
