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 :)

Btw, anyone who volunteers to help take 21 teens hiking to the top of a mountain ( and not throw at least a couple off,lol ) has got my vote :cheers:

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! :poke:

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.
