First camping trip of the season in our “new” trailer.
We went to one of our favs for Easter long weekend. The weather was perfect for still being in the off season. There are beautiful walking trails through the forest and a lookout over the ocean, with epic views of Nanaimo. I can guarantee your see some eagles dancing in the sky.
There’s a park for the kids and paved roads for biking or scootering around the campground.
On Saturday, there was a “walk around”, kind of a market put on by certain sites, selling crafts, handmade goods, and used items. The Easter Bunny even payed us a visit Sunday morning and stuck around for the great egg hunt of ‘26!
We’ll definitely be back in the summer when the Living Forest Cafe is open for the season. They’ve got the best icecream! And, the river is magical, whether you’re swimming, kayaking, SUPing, being on the water is where it’s at.
Till next time ✌🏽🏕️ 🦅

It’s taken me a month to share anything about my birthday… maybe because it feels like any other year. There’s no monumental switch that actually gets flipped as we turn another year older. It’s really, just another day but this one felt big to me. I mean, I did just turned 40! So, yeah, kind of a big deal. Until I’m 50 and laugh at myself for fearing this number. That’s it though, it’s just a number. Aging is an absolute privilege. I’m sure a lot of us feel mentally frozen at a certain age, just trying to figure it out as our vessels do the aging.
As I cross this invisible threshold on this wild journey of life what I do reflect on most is the speed of time. How recess once felt like a literal vacation, summer felt like a year, and now you blink, the seasons have changed again and another holiday is quickly approaching.
This life isn’t about collecting things, but sharing love and creating memories. I’m feeling abundantly grateful for friends that show up like family and a big birthday that was filled with love, laughs, amazing food, and a soggy trip to Tofino/ Ukie 🫶🏽
