On to Saturday

ATTENTION:

Before you keep reading, make sure you have read the previous 2 posts, as they describe the beginning of the Quadra trip!

Okay, now with that out of the way, I can move on to what happened Saturday. Their mom woke me and Spence up at like, 7 i nthe morning, ( an ungodly hour) because we were going whale watching that day. we left at 8:15 and drove down to the harbour for the 9:00 excursion. We were all fairly groggy, but still managed to scrape up some excitement for the trip. The driver was a friendly guy named Nick, who seemed to know a lot about whales. It was a really small boat, like 25 feet maybe, with 12 cramped seats in a little room at the front, and then a back deck thing, which was also miniscule. We saw three transient* orcas almost right away, Unfortunately they were the same three whales we saw the whole entire day. We were out on that boat for SEVEN HOURS by the way. It was really fun, but it could have been a few hours shorter. I got some good pictures of the whales too. It was soooo cold out though, I was freezing to death! So I had to employ Aden to keep me warm. That was fun. The best part of the whole boat trip was right at the very end where we hit a huge swell with these giant choppy waves and bounced up and down for about ten minutes. That was the coooolest thing ever! We got back around quarter to four, and rented Signs, because we couldnt go outside ( raining). Then, after supper, Their mom went out to hang with friends, and the three of us hung out in the family room some more. Around 10:30, we were all just sitting around talking about our worst nightmares, getting kind of frightened, when all of sudden all the lights around us turned off! Me and Spence screamed and dove onto Aden. We kinda just sat there for a while, wondering what to do, until we got the brilliant idea of trrying to get to the couch. I fell down, because i am a gork. After about ten minutes of sitting on the couch being scared, we managed to find our way up the stairs to where the grandma was. She had lit a bunch of candles, so we spent the next half hour making our shadow animals eat Spencers shadow. That was highly amusing. Soon after, we went to bed.


Sunday's itinerary will come even later. I MUST do this in installments
