Sunday we surprised the rug rats with a trip to Ucluelet and most of them didn't even figure out where we were going until we hit the Pacific Rim Park Junction.... {when in fact that they should have figured it out by the time we passed Sprout Lake...geniuses I tell ya :)}
We made a quick stop at Wickaninnish beach to stick our toes in the water...
Love this Alex taking it all in...Madison leaping into the water ...Dallyn shivering cause the water ain't warm :)
This is how these two interrupt my "Don't get wet!"..... {A & B in the back ground impressed as always :)}
We then headed to Al & Leslie's {love these guys!} for the night...Dinner, Dallyn just about jumped on a dying seal {nature can be sad} and roasting marshmallows...then we surprised the kids even more Monday morning....
Whale Watching on a Zodiac! Holly and Tyler joined us....
What else are you supposed to do in survival suits? :)
Ready to set sail...
Within 10 minutes we spotted a momma bear and her cub, 30 eagles feeding on the beach and our first gray whale...
Which was awesome and cool, but then we heard that another captain had spotted the resident L pod of orcas, so we took off. "Its going to be rough and you are going to get wet!" {was a complete understatement, but worth every minute}See...
for the next hour we rode the heavy chop among the L pod....
For a while we were getting to wet for pictures and what Grant captured on fill was only a tiny portion of what we witnessed
Complete breech ...it happened countless times, they were so playful in the heavy surf.
All on their backs slapping their tails on the surface, our tour guide had never seen this many do it at once before.
Just an amazing day!
Soaking wet and couldn't be happier!
Subtidal Adventures is amazing and we loved our guide Wendy, best trip ever. Honestly in the top of my favourite days ever.
