When we got back to Tofino, there were Canada Day celebrations going on in the park – a skateboarding competition, so Mimi gave us time to watch for awhile or explore downtown Tofino. I think the skateboarders are so cool and really chilled out! The sport looks so amazing, but I am not brave enough to do this sport, because it is very, very difficult! I know this, because I’ve tried it before!
Afterwards, we went back to our campsite and played beach games. I loved these times. They were so funny, because we all makes jokes all the time. At one point, Linda became the target, because we kept hitting the ball to her and she would miss, but then, she got back at us, because in the end she had the most amount of successful hits in the game! GIRL POWER! Good playing, Linda! GO LINDA GO! We also met a cute bunny , Bun Bun!
After a campfire dinner, we went back into Tofino to enjoy the celebrations and games. There was a band and everyone was dancing. Eric and Mimi tried to get me to dance, but I wouldn’t, but now I wish I had, because everyone in the community, even little kids, like 3-year-olds were dancing. But I didn’t want to go by myself, and I couldn’t get any of my friends to go, so I didn’t. But now, I wish that I had, because it looked like so much fn.
This is the first time that I have ever seen a community dancing together. I liked it. Suddenly, the fireworks started and everyone ran toward the harbour to watch the show. Afterwards, Linda and I regretted not dancing, so Eric took some of us back to dance, while Mimi returned the sleepy ones home. But when we got back to the bandstand, all the dancing was over and the band was packing up! Grrrr…..and Eric and Mimi invited us so many times to dance. I should have danced at that time. Next time, I’m going to! YOLO. #YouOnlyLiveOnceHappy Canada Day!
When we got back to our campsiste, Mimi and Eric went to the beach with us to look at the night sky. When we went on the beach, there was a huge campfire near our campsite. There were lots of young people talking and playing music. Some of them had even brought their dogs.
Linda and I really wanted to talk to the locals, so we asked Eric to help us find a topic to start a conversation. Eric noticed a boy with his dog, so Eric told us to the boy his dogs name. It worked. The boy was very friendly. He talked to Eric, Mimi, Linda and me. Billy had come with us, but he was taking night sky pictures. He got some awesome photos by the way!!! Another local, gave us some marshmallows to eat, and we watched this girl who was practicing flame throwing tricks – very interesting. After that, we played by the fire and took photos at the beach.

Then, we joined Billy and he helped us take a lot of beautiful photos under the night sky. Thank you so much Billy! You’re awesome!
Look at this photo and you will be able to see the lady playing with fire, doing tricks and circles. It was spectacular. If I had the chance to go again to Tofino, I would most certainly want to go to McKenzie beach on Canada Day, so many great people. A place where I can make new friends.
