Another Weekend of Awesome-ness at Shawnigan, Part 1

So in Canada, each province has a holiday smack dab in the middle of summer. Monday, August 3 was BC Day, so we headed over to Shawnigan for the long weekend. This weekend was also smack dab in the middle of one of the hottest streaks the province has ever had...made for a weekend for the ages.


Saw this madness in the ferry terminal en route to the island.

This is basically a guppy, but who cares, first fish of the weekend.

Patio vibes on a warm Shawnigan summer night.

There are two cabins at the lake. Liz rents the bottom one out in the summer. These two critters' parents rent it out for like 3 weeks or so. Brooke and Cole came over to hang with us a bunch. We didn't mind...pure entertainment (and great kids)!

A lovely spread...

This is the largest Walmart in North America apparently. It is in the town of Duncan, which is about a 15 minute drive north of the lake. I've been to some big Walmarts, and really couldn't tell the difference in size. Either way, this one was indeed mahoosive.

Booze crooze!

Fi and Nat, booze crooze.

Vegetable BBQ mayhem.

Lots to manage. The salmon was yummy.

The end to another splendid day at Shawnigan Lake.
