What a crazy February Day!

I know many of you are in a deep freeze at the moment, with lots of snow but here on Vancouver Island we had a stellar day with near record breaking high temperatures. I went kayaking with a friend at 10am and had to take my jacket off! There's been lots of sea lions lately and today we spotted these guys. When they started to lift themselves 3 feet out of the water and move towards us, we decided to paddle closer to shore. I went for an hour walk too and got a visit with my Aunty Sheila. It's been a great Sunday. I hope yours was good too!
