A Piece of Heavan

I cannot count how many times I have walked these beaches.
And each time is as exhilarating as the first.
Even if I lived there I know I would never tier of these gorgeous places.

My mind wanders, feels free and happy and excited all at once.

We had the chance to spend the weekend in Tofino and it was as wonderful as ever, hotel excluded.

This Murphy bed was the highlight of the room.

I had seen them many times but never actually had the chance to enjoy one.

I can sure see the benefits for a space conscious home and they are surprisingly comfortable.

Good morning Mr Crow.

I have finally seen the end of a rainbow.

Not much of a pot of gold though.

And that old beached boat in the far right corner is a home that is featured in a great book we own about coastal homes.

Onto the beach and a great day with the weather and girls full of brightness and joy.

However we had a great life lesson.

This unassuming wave that the girls are courageously waiting for, forcefully caught them and sweep them off their feet, tossing them around and under the water.

They couldn't get the barrings and were getting pulled out.

I dove in and somehow simultaneously grabbed both their coat hoods and reefed with all my might to hold them back.

The waves were taking them in either direction and the undertow had a firm grip.

If I was a second later I think the outcome could have been a much different story.

Each girl was surprisingly calm and I kept telling them to just hold on and try to get their feet down.

They didn't scream or cry and afterwards they were a bit stunned but composed and even laughing.

I drilled the severity of the situation into them as we chuckled and shook off.

They had sand in their eyes and ears and pretty much everywhere else.

Cold wet sand, dripping wet clothes and a scarf lost in the shuffle.

As drowned rats we walked back to get changed and warmed up.

I then noticed I dunked my camera in the chuck.

Grrrr.
This picture tells a bit of the story but it is hard to tell she is soaked head to toe.

Before hand we enjoyed the scenery.

Here are a few photos to share it with you.

Enjoy.
