We woke to rain this morning followed quickly by snow with flakes the size of snowballs. We had already decided to take the girls to Beban Park to go swimming. By the time we hit Nanaimo the snow was coming fast and furious but by the time we left the pool the sun was trying to peak through and all trace of the white stuff was gone! As we were waiting for the ferry back to Gabriola my husband snapped a picture of a rainbow with his IPhone. What a crazy day for weather but I really appreciate that by mid afternoon our back deck was dry and the sun was shining! I love this place.
