A bunch of us try to meet regularly on Thursday mornings 10am, at Auke Rec./Point Louisa for an outdoor playdate. This is unstructured play time. The kiddos climb, pick berries, fish, romp, explore the tide pools, the trees and the beach. Parents get a chance to connect with each other. It is a great location rain or shine, as there is beach, the peninsula that is Pt. Louisa, covered shelters and the trees themselves provide shelter and a windbreak on blustery days. It is important for children to get to know one place through all the seasons, weather and tides to see the cycles and systems in nature. Often times from the point seal lions, seals, porpoise and whales can be seen swimming about. Often parents will bring wood for a campfire, hot dogs, marshmallows and apples to roast. Everyone always brings a snack to share.
