Totes my goats...

So this morning we got up and decided to head out to Coombs for a little outing. We seem to have gotten quite busy this past week and we needed to do something just the three of us. We picked up some coffee from The Buzz and were on our way. Rupe fell asleep just as we got there of course, so we decided to keep driving for a bit so he could last a bit longer at Coombs. Before we knew it we were at Cathedral Groves... who knew it was so close! It's only about 20 minutes away from Coombs!

{we've all had our photos taken in front of this monumental tree... now it's Rupert's turn!}

{Is it just me, or are they making the exact same face????}

{kisses for mommy... I got chin... I'll take what I can get :D }

{I love fenced in areas! Rupert loves to just go when we're outside, so it's nice to be able to let him without worrying about him getting into anything!}

{BWDyck represent! We love BC Parks!}

On to Coombs we go! I've decided I want a garden on my roof... and not just one made of moss!

The goats were hiding on me when I went to take their picture on the roof, but we were sneaky and went around back to find them grazing in their little pasture!

Those who have not been to Coombs for ice cream need to go! sooooooo many choices! Our choice today was rootbeer float, mmmmm so yummy!

On our way home we discovered the Wildlife Recovery Center and decided to stop in for a peak around. Rupert loves animals and there were many to see!

{Rupert looking through the observation window at the eagles.}

{A black bear named Knut... he looked so sad, I think Rupert thought he needed a hug as he kept reaching through the fence at him.}

{Baby eagle}

{Caught! Yes that's my, you are in trouble, face. Rupert kept touching everything and then putting his hand in his mouth! Little stinker! Usually I'm pretty lacks about what he puts in his mouth, but not with yucky animals! I decided to hold his hand for a while, didn't go over so well...}

{ugly but delicious... haha}

{Oh yah, here are our purchases from Coombs! Some beach maths, a wooden dump truck (obvs for Rupe) some fun summery napkins and two note pads: one for me and one for Colin! I love Coombs!}

Also... thought you should be introduced to my summer feet... I love my summer feet... Colin is not so fond of my summer feet... they are always fairly dirty, a little tanned, calloused from walking on the beach, usually some chipped polish and of course sporting fun flip flops... anyways I am happy to announce the triumphant return of my summer feet! Oh how I love them!

At the beginning of the day to make a trip all the way out to Coombs with our little guy seems like more hassle than it's worth... but at the end of the day I know that it just isn't true! We had a wonderful day together and I feel like it was just what we needed!

{lastly, we plan on making this trek again many times to come... next time maybe we will make it to my dear friend's house as she lives just past Coombs in a beeeeautiful home with her lovely family... check her out at http://madtimeswelivein.blogspot.com ...}
