Victoria

Aiden and me built an inukshuk at the ferry terminal using pieces of rock and concrete.  We used two pieces of concrete for the feet, one for the body, three for the arms, one for the shoulders and one for the neck and head.  The Inuit used to build inukshuks as land marks.

This is a video of the orca whales we saw on the ferry to Victoria.  We saw two pods and one of the pods had four orcas and the other had three.  They were swimming by the ferry and we got to see their whole body because they emerged from the water a lot.  It was so cool.

                                         

                                                   We visited the mueseum. I learned about mammoths. I learned a lot of interesting things like how much their food weighed and what they looked like.  We even saw a preserved baby mammoth that had been stuck in a tar pit.  We learned about aboriginals and how they lived.  We even got to watch a show with a speaker who would tell a story about each mask in a display case.

                       

   We went to glass beach.  It is a really cool beach where you can find little pieces of glass and china.  


       We went to a corn maze.  The corn maze was so big that it had an emergency phone number that you could call if you got lost for four hours.  We were only in it for an hour.  We went in the kid maze and the larger one.

We went in a corn pit after.  It was filled with dried corn and I buried Mikayla in it up to her neck.

  1. What a lovely visit you had to Vancouver Island! You visited family and saw such interesting exhibits. I liked how well you described what you saw. It made me feel like I came on part of the trip.

  2. And how fun to see orcas! Mr. L and I saw a number of orcas this fall when we took the ferry. Such a treat.
