Victoria, BC August 2010

One afternoon after lunch and before heading back to our condo, we took a little drive, only about 4 or 5 mins. from our where we were staying and stumbled on this! It was breath-taking gorgeous. Really windy, but gorgeous. There were great wind surfer down there catching some serious air. It was really fun to see. If it wasn't so cold and close to Jacob's nap time, Jeff and I both agreed we could stay there for hours.

Jacob & Daddy taking it all in!

Along with just having plain 'ol fun, Ryan would practice some of the things he was learning in swimming lessons like the back float. He did it all on his own and did great! I was a proud mama!

Dead Man's Float.

CANNON BALL!!! Yes, this is the same child who just a few weeks ago would barely jump in the pool to Jeff and I with his life jacket on. He's come a LONG ways since he started he swimming lessons last month!

The last evening we were there, it was a bit breezy out, but that didn't stop us from heading out for a walk around the water. Well actually, it was all Jacob's idea. The last couple nights we were there he would walk over to his stroller after dinner and say "bye bye" so off we'd go!

Here's a view of our condo from inside the harbor.

The float planes were suddenly coming in right as we were walking next to the water so it was fun to see them so up close!

Taxi-ing to their spots on the water. Jacob LOVED watching them!

It was cool out, but he was happy as a clam to be outside and to see the planes right next to him. They were so close that he was waving to the pilots! Talk about a happy kid!
