Breakfast with Santa

We were the first to arrive at the Cowichan Bay Hotel for breakfast.  We knew that Santa would be arriving by boat and didn't want to miss it!

Sure enough, he came in a fast Sea Ray and pulled right up to the dock.  Clive commented "Daddy, you never brought the boat in like THAT!"

 

Matthew (our bravest) was the first to visit with Santa.  He knew the drill and climbed right up on his lap and asked for Hot Wheels.

David was next.  He was happy this year.

Then, good natured Clive, who didn't really want to do this but did it anyway.

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast looking out at seals and birds, and lots of boats in the marina.  Certainly missing Uncle Jake while looking out, dreaming of having a boat again one day.
