summer holiday

.
we're back from our week on saltspring island!



we return to the island every summer.  this was our tenth year [hadley's fifth] + it was a memorable visit.




last summer was super hot - so we didn't stray too far from the water + barely explored the island.  

this year was cooler [but no rain!] + hadley found her hiking legs.  she practically ran the three-hour trail thru ruckle park, scrambling over tree roots + ducking mossy branches.  complaining only once - at the end of our hike - because she was "sweating".



  

we searched out every beach, combing for treasures.






we collected cool rocks + quartz.  hadley made herself a necklace of seashells.




but some things were too big to bring home - driftwood for hadley + a massive rock [boulder?] for me.


we thrifted.  at lady minto we scored this vintage hat, some barbie hangers, a paperback novel + a my little pony - all for two dollars!



me:  if you could be any sea creature in the world - what would you be?
hadley:  a mermaid!
