First day of "home school"

We woke up to a lovely day. The sun was out the wind was not, perfect day for a walk on the beach. We drove out to le Grand to say hi to friends, then headed down to the Gwaing beach at low tide. The views there are just spectacular. I took a moment to just take in the beauty and remembered again why we wanted to live down here. Especially coming from China the "concrete jungle" to this nature spot, we just fell in love with it. 

After building some sand castles and eating a muffin, it was time to head back so this little one could have his afternoon nap. 
As we stay in a complex of 13 little units all built in a row next to each other, sharing a communal garden, there are no visual boundaries so the kids just mix. Which is something that is nice at times but not so nice when you don't feel like having so many kids in and around you all weekend. This Friday was fun, the kids were riding their scooters up and down. Eckan is still practicing with his. Then all the kids ended up at the neighbor's house, she has 3 kids so 3 more doesn't feel like a big difference to her and she has lost of stuff the kids can play with. Just like that the day was finished.
