Beautiful BC
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:44 pm
We went camping this past BC long weekend, and thought I’d share with you some of beautiful BC’s beach scenery with dogs (and people) in it.
It was a bit of an adventure; a last minute decision to go camping and on a long weekend, that’s a bit of a gamble. Campsites fill up and without reservations, ya gotta get there early! A friend of my husband’s is converting an old school bus into a luxurious mode of transportation equipped to carry motorcycles, with a roof top patio, and furnished inside with a leather couch and soon to be installed flat screen TV. Here’s the bus.
This is Junior, and he likes to stand looking out the window as we travel.
Here is Sugar with my younger step-son on the couch as we are traveling...a bit of a bouncy ride and Sugar has her legs spread to keep her balance.
And nappy time for the dogs.
Once at our destination, we set up the roof top patio.
Here’s the view from the roof.
And Sugar and our view from our campsite.
This is the beach that we got to play at. I love the tracks made from the dogs! I had my camera on video instead of photo. Oops, hate when that happens!

Here’s some beach pics:
Can you spot the DS in this pic?
This one is Sugar with the wind is blowing her ears back, and she looks like a proper DS now!
On our way back, we stopped at another lake with warmer water, and attempted to get Sugar to swim. Junior enjoyed swimming, but Sugar thought jumping on the air mattress was a much better idea! I made her get off, saying she needed to learn how to swim before heading out on the lake. We tried coaxing her in (we were in the water this time) and after a while, she would still only go in up to her chest. So plan B. We held her in water just over her head and after the moment of panic, she calmed down, we let her go and she swam beautifully to shore! But, even after doing that a couple of times, she still didn’t have the nerve to go out on her own, and we had to head back home. So we ran out of time to keep trying with her that time, but at least she had some success at swimming. I wish I had more pics or video of this, but I figured lakes and iphones don’t mix!
