Here is how we spent Week #1:
We stayed the first week at my parents and the second week with Don’s – and in between – an amazing trip to Alder Bay… more on that later.
Our first weekend I was delighted to introduce Summer to two friends I grew up with in Gold River; Julie and Selene and who I have not seen in 22 years. We found each other on Facebook in the spring and managed to organize a visit while we were home. It was as if time had not passed and we all picked up where we left off. We were surprised also by a short visit with another Gold River-ite – Kecia, who I have not seen in a few years. She was home visiting her parents who now live in Comox.
My nephew Chase and his mom Jen also came to visit from Victoria and he and Summer had a lot of fun keeping cool in the pool my dad set up in the back yard. My brother Ted who also came home had a great time tormenting Chase with the garden hose and splashing the kids.

We spent a couple afternoons at the river and a few at the beach at Kye Bay and the spit. One evening we had the opportunity to have a BBQ with Ken and Carmen on Sandy Point near Tree Island. We had to wait for the seals to vacate and they left one of their pups behind. We thought it might be sick, but Ken and Don checked on it later the following week and it had gained its strength. We picked and barbequed oysters and hotdogs for dinner. Summer had a great time with her friend Cyara who is also 4.

The weather was smoking-hot but we found many ways to beat the heat.

Stay tuned for Week #2…
