We’re back from Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Well, truthfully we’ve been back for almost two weeks already, but September always seems to get ahead of me. Everyone should visit Tofino at least once in their lives. It’s just so beautiful! The sound of the waves, the smell of that fresh air… brings us back every year.
Yes, this is our eight year old, surfing! He made it look so easy! I’m pretty thankful that hubby is such a great teacher! Lord knows that my feeble surfing skills should not be shared with the next generation.
While we were on holidays the blog was nominated for Top 25 Canadian Mom Blog of 2013! We made it to #14 last year, and I’d love it if you could head over to Circle of Moms and vote for Flutter Flutter every day until September 25th. Thank you!

Gorgeous pics! Looks like you and the boys had a perfect time. I have to say….you don’t even have to be a mom to enjoy your blog 😉

Amazing pics Rosa! I think you captured not only how beautiful Tofino is but you can also see the beauty in your family. Of course I’ll be voting for you.

Wonderful pics! I love that first one, your husband and son heading off into the surf…looks like Dad’s giving some good advice. 🙂 I still can’t believe I lived on the island for over 10 years and I never made it to Tofino! It’s on my list!

Oh, I love to visit Tofino too! We haven’t made it up-island yet this year but one of the best parts about Tofino (nowadays) is that they attract visitors all year around – specially in storm season. Your beautiful beach photos look great, I’m sure you had a wonderful time!
