Hi folks,
I have been busy, not well and busy so I need to catch up with all the post in a bit. Anyways I figured I post some photos from our BC Victoria Long Weekend. The following is a hike on Stawamus Chief and for the teens we took (22 of us total) the total round trip was 6:30 hours haha. They were popped tired. My knees began to give on the way down so I had to tell Steph that I needed to book it down the mountain other else someone will need to carry me down >.< Sadly I missed the turn off to the parking lot and kept going down the mountain. Being quite athletic I was timing myself and it was all wrong. Figures. I ended up an extra 1km down the mountain and had to call someone to pick me up from the highway

Oh uh before you all think I am superman, it was 18 teens + 4 adults - Princess cannot drive that many people you know
Safety was a concern. In fact we had one teen tumble down the mountain (ok, just scratched up a lot) and one boy who almost went under the lake. Next time I will seriously knock the child unconscience or grab the hair to stop them from panicing. He was fine just took in a little of water. Was up and playing football within 10 minutes. My GF had a slight emotional break down though. That was harder to deal with.
Tell you what is hard ... taking 7 Gr7 girls shopping. Good God ... I dont even know my way around the mall! This one was church related so not so bad but wow can they not run to multiple stores all at once thinking I have super ears to hear what each is shouting at me!?!?! Photos to come later - P&S camera is still with one of them >.<

Yeah,just volunteered to take them to the "top"! Should've volunteered to take 'em back down too! Then maybe he wouldn't have taken that wrong turn at Albuquerque!
Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.

Well like I said one teen boy took a stumble ... I still do not know if he pissed off my friend how came to help ;p
I do this because 90% of these kidz have parents who will never take them or "value education over growth" mentality. I see it as a way for them to enjoy what we have around us and learn to respect. All this Go Green stuff is useless unless it comes from the heart. I am looking to make a bigger change with these kidz than that hahah.
Rebel thanks for the comment as well. I do have more adventures but I just dont always post.
