An Island Visit

Editor's note: This was before Cocoa Beanie came home!

We went on a grand adventure today... first down to the water!!


And then onto a little boat!

To get over to the little island!

It's a stunning fall day!

And we area going to do some exploring!

This totem pole has a beaver on the bottom

Hullo Mr. Beaver!

It's soooo pretty here!

So we sat and soaked up some sun for a bit.

Can you believe this weather? Although... we could really use some rain!

There's cool driftwood on the beach too.

And this is the place with the neat rock formations where stuffies can play a fantastic game of hide and seek! Can you see us???

How about now?

Heh-heh!!!

Apparently it's the salt water that does this... soooo cool!

We decided to go for a little hike too.

Cause that's what stuffies do!

So pretty here.

And we visited this thing! It's the top of an old air shaft from the coal mines that used to be here. 

We come to the island lots! And last time, Mama got a little photo through the crack around the edge of that door, but we couldn't see much!

This time we noticed someone's made a little hole around the concrete foundation!

Nope... can't see nothing!

Still nothing!

Ooooohhh... there we go!!! But what does it show us??? not sure... Is that a pit with a frame that's rotted? So mysterious!

And there's the foundations of an old building!

Then we hiked back...


And lounged on the beach for a bit...

And napped...

And had some yummy lunch!


But then it was time to go...

We have yet to see the cinnamon coloured racoons that live here!


But it was a great outing!!
