We went at the low tide time and looked at the clams, sea weed, sea anenomes, small crabs and anything in the ocean that we could find! We also saw 2 or 3 seals in the distance!
Butchart Gardens are quite big and beautiful! We had to search for 12 porcelain bunnies to get the prize, we only found 10 but they still gave us the prize!
Vancouver island has some huge trees! Linking arms around the trunk is hard work! They are gifungous! Supposedly some of these are 800 years old. Most of them are off trail and you can't get to them - but this one was accessible. They are well over 100 feet tall - certainly makes you feel small.
