Our second day on our Island trip was excellent. The weather was quite nice and it didn’t rain – lucky us.

Auntie Wendy, Cousin Senna and Uncle Chris met us at the hotel where we shared a nice breakfast. Then it was off to the petting zoo in Beacon Hill park to meet some friends. But first we had to stop by Fan Tan alley and get a nice coffee from Bean Around the World in China Town.

We met up with Jimmy’s old friend Art and his family. Having two year-olds who love to run around and be wild definitely makes it tricky to have a decent conversation. We did have a great visit though and the kids love going to the petting zoo. Rhys enjoyed stomping in a puddle (and sitting in one too – good thing we always keep back-up clothes in our van) and brushing the goats. Claire wasn’t interested in the baby goats at all instead she wanted to see the bunnies – her favorite.

It was so nice outside so we all decided to go wander over to the playground for some more fun!

Such a cute picture! :

After we said good-bye o our family & friends we went back to the hotel for lunch and nap-time. Once the kids woke up we spent the afternoon walking around downtown Victoria, the Inner Harbour and through The Empress Hotel. It was so nice to walk through the city where Jimmy & I first met and we had fun reminiscing.
