Trip to Victoria

 

We had a great trip to Victoria last weekend. We took the fairy from Anacortes, which is an absolutely gorgeous trip. While we were there we saw all the stuff downtown, including the wax museum, and we enjoyed the Butchart Gardens. Those were magnificent. They even had a firework show that was spectacular.

Our hotel was across the street from the legislative building. We had our car, so we took several scenic drives. We also attended one of the Victoria wards.

Lydia was climbing on the base of some statues as we walked downtown and some Japanese tourists just had to take a picture with her in it rather than just a boring statue. They all took turns trying to get her to make peace signs with them. But something even more interesting happened every time Lydia found something to climb on---she started orating a speech. It was so funny to watch her give a soap-box speech from the steps of the legislative building, "Everyday we go poopoo."

I should mention that Tyler has been saying several words. He says "dada," "mama," and "this." But the word he says with the most urgency is "ball." He absolutely loves balls.
