Butchart Gardens

While we were in Victoria, we also went to Butchart Gardens.  It was such a beautiful place and the weather turned out to be perfect.  (Thanks, Nana and Papa for the admission tickets!  One of our favorite Christmas presents ever!)
I love this picture of Declan.  The big tears are because (mean parents that we are) we tried to feed him his ice cream cone instead of letting him hold it himself.  How could we not give in to that cuteness?










And more ferry pictures.  It was a clear day and such a beautiful ride, even if we never saw a orca!  This picture is right before Sam lost his lunch in the ferry cafeteria.  We thought it was motion sickness but it turned out to be a stomach bug that most of us caught at some point during the week.  Not fun. Luckily we were on our way home so we could deal with the sicknesses at our house instead of a hotel.

How fun to have so many visitors at one time. I love Victoria and the gardens; how lucky to be so close to such fun things. We missed you at the reunion.
