Hello all,

Apparently my photo storage is full.  Although my computer tells me it's only at 4%.
I can't put on any more photos, so, I'll be taking a break from the blog until this is fixed.  Thanks for tuning in!

Tofino!

We arrived in a down pour.  Then, the clouds broke and blue skies arrived.

We rode our bikes in to Tofino.  There is a bike path all the way along the highway.  The boys were thrilled!

Had to continue biking on the hard MacKenzie Beach sand.

A sunny day at Long Beach.  Great climbing and exploring.  A huge helicopter flew right over us as we are not far from Tofino airport.

Mommy was the only one who wore rubber boots here.  Hope everyone else learned a lesson.  Matthew was barefoot the rest of the day.

Beautiful day and the whole beach to ourselves.

Back to the cabin to enjoy watching the toy airplane.

Our routine swim before bed.  Clive and David learning to dive and Matthew doing cannon balls.

Snuggle in David's bed while watching Free Willy.

The cabins now have fireplaces.  Really useful considering there are often power outages.

The rain came on our last day, but that didn't stop us.  Finally got the boys in to rubber boots (Marc forgot his).  The boys have pulled out some volcanic rock and had fun popping the seaweed.

This was a great trip.  Three full days at Ocean Village.

Black on Black

Just love these two.

Kinda funny with the flash on.

I took Matthew skating for his second time.  We had the whole rink to ourselves and Matthew was thrilled!  

Halloween

It pounded with rain Halloween morning.

(Zuke is already possessed.)

Of course, that doesn't stop the ghoul's.

My "bat skeleton" was ready for action!  (This is Matthew's own creation)

Just as trick or treating time arrived, the sky lightened and the rain stopped.  The Schoyen's had some dead guys on their lawn.  My boys look like they're praying, but they're just staring.

Check out the grumpy face on the house!  Here are our trick or treaters, all in BLACK.  Super.  At night.  The mist came in at an ideal time, very Hollywood.

Here are the children dressed in black at night who refuse glow sticks.  They were done in less than an hour.  Being a school night, this was for the best.

We put out a "drive by" bowl and still had no takers.  Too bad we can't feed candy to the chickens.

A pretty good Halloween.  Matthew nearly ended up in the hospital but stopped just before the concrete ledge he was going to run off of.  Phew.  Made it thru another Halloween.
