Walking around Beaver and Elk Lake

This afternoon, I went with Katrina, Jakki and Jasper on a walk around Beaver and Elk Lake, two big joined lakes on the way from Victoria to the airport / ferry. The whole walk around the lakes would have been 10 km, but since we didn't want to go too far, we turned around after a bit more than 3 km. Consequently, we walked for about 7 km.
As the weather turned out to be real nice, spending the afternoon outside was great and I had a lot of fun watching the two dogs. Jasper is still quite young, thus he was always playing around and acted quite impulsively. Due to his size, it sometimes seemed a bit intimidating when he was running at me, but he really just wanted to play.
During the walk, we always had to try and keep the two dogs from eating horse poo, which turned out to be almost impossible: As soon as we got one of the dogs out of the danger zone, the other one went for the poo. It was still a lot of fun. Jakki also went for a few short swims in the lakes. We had tried to get Jasper to join her by throwing sticks into the water, but he was always scared of getting wet. He only changed his mind and ran into the water at the end of our walk in order to try and catch some ducks.
After we dropped Jasper off and went back home, we spent most of the evening watching 'White Collar' and enjoying some cookies which Katrina had made.
