I was Brown and now I'm Wight: August 2014

BC Day long weekend found the whole Brown (and Wight and Greenwood) clan at Sproat Lake. We had gorgeous weather. The lake was crystal clear and beautifully cool. The girls loved having their extended family all around them. It was nice for Cole and I to have extra chaperones around as well. Our girls slept wonderfully, for the most part. We took a day trip to Tofino on Saturday- it wasn't hot and sunny and clear there...there was this funny mist that settled on the beach and you couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of you and it cooled things off. But we still had fun..most of us anyways. We (the Wights) LOVE Tofino in any weather. It was still warm enough for us that we didn't need sweaters and we still went into the ocean. My girls are true island girls and love the beach in any weather as well. I'm not very good about taking pictures- I did get some this trip but 97% were in Tofino, 2% were in Coombs on the way back and 1% was on the way out of camp the last day. So there aren't any of actual Sproat Lake. But mostly because we were constantly swimming and having such fun.

Highlights and memorable moments:

-watching K swim around the lake confidently in her lifejacket
-watching B get more and more brave in the water
-wrestling my sister off her tube after she claimed I wouldn't be able to
-playing President late into the night with Cole, Tanya and Alexis and all the "butthole" jokes that accompanied it
-TOFINO TOFINO TOFINO
-TACOFINO
-playing in the ocean (I got wet head to toe and I almost never go that far into the ocean- I'm a fresh water kind of gal)
-surrounded by family in the lake and K saying she wanted to go with mommy (possibly the first time she's every said that when daddy, aunties and grandparents are all options)
-cousin love with J, K and B
-Cole forgetting to open the bbq lid while lighting it and singing much of the hair on his face off

Many, many, many pictures to follow:
