The ride to French Beach was quite long and we passed Sooke on the way. As we wanted to have a little picnic at the beach, we stopped at a supermarket to get some snacks. I decided to try some cinnamon scones, which turned out to be quite tasty. Even though the drive was quite long, I still very much enjoyed it since I just loved looking at the beautiful scenery we drove through.
We arrived at the beach around 2:30 PM. At first Katrina was actually a bit disappointed since we had a very high tide and there wasn't really any sandy beach to sit on.
However, after walking along the beach for a while, it got a little more sandy and at the end of the beach, we found a really nice spot to settle down. We stayed at that spot for most of the afternoon. There was a washroom nearby but in order to get there, I needed to climb over some driftwood. On the way, I actually saw a surprisingly big snake. It quickly hid somewhere, though.
After enjoying our snacks, we explored the area a little. Margo had a lot of fun playing with Jakki and I just enjoyed the smells and sounds of the ocean. Later on, we tried building some kind of tent for Jakki to hide in so that she could be in the shade. She didn't really dare to go inside, though, and tried digging a hole in the sand instead.
Just before we were about to leave, we heard some weird sounds coming from the ocean. We had supposedly seen some seals earlier so we were wondering if they were making those sounds or if there was maybe some kind of whale nearby. Unfortunately, we couldn't see anything that might have made those sounds then.
We started walking back to the car around 4:30 as Margo had some clay mug class at 7 PM which she wanted to go to in the evening.
Back at home I ended up watching the movie 'Seven Psychopaths' with Katrina, which was actually quite interesting and fun.
Would you mind send me those great pictures you made? I really love the one of Jakki! All of them actually :-)
