First night in our new toy

Another weekend starting with skate skiing at the Whistler Olympic Park under blue skies, learning that Beryl likes to eat snow after she’s released from her Chariot. There was also more sliding down snow banks. Her giggles were so loud they attracted the attention of a nearby classic ski class, she was enough of a distraction that the instructor moved the groups ~ 100 m away.

Afterwards, on our way out, we stooped to explore a new area for overnight potential in our new (to us) toy, a FWC Fleet in the bed of the sportsBAT

Then we drove down to Porteau Cove Provincial Park for our first overnighter. Found a choice spot

and in just a few minutes, the top was popped and the furnace was running

Beryl approved of the new playspace. That full-body north face fleece was in mint condition, and very white, when we bought it second-hand, now it is very well-used and no longer white. Now that it actually fits her, we’ve already bought the next one (and it isn’t white)

After exploring the camper interior, Beryl decided it was time to go to the beach

to watch the setting sun reflect from the peaks of the Tantalus range

and get mommy to carry me down to the water’s edge

don’t forget airtime from daddy

and then, she had to squash her face against the screen door

Ravioli, jar red sauce, and IPA for dinner; brownie and Barley Wine for dessert
