Hiking TOTEM TRAIL in Kasaan

OK, so maybe it's not technically a HIKE, but it SOUNDS better to say HIKE rather than leisurely stroll.  We spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday in Kasaan with Stewart and Carrie's family.  We decided that we MUST take advantage of the beautiful weather and GET OUT!  So, we took the family on a LEISURELY stroll down Totem Trail.  

 Josh was TRYING to catch up with the kids for the picture...they really were quite a ways ahead...thus, the grainy picture.

 The kids at one of the totems...I won't even attempt to spell his name, but he's the one that EATS children who do NOT behave!!!

 The kids combin' the beach

 I know...ENOUGH VIEWS...but, I am still in awe of the fact that I live here!!!

 I WAS there...see!!!

 Have I mentioned that I gave birth to a mountain goat?  This kid will find ANYTHING to climb!!!

 Pips was having a BLAST running through the water...and leaping over the seaweed.

 A view from the bottom looking UP!!!

 The white stuff is called "Bear Bread."  Not sure if the bears actually use it to make sandwiches, but apparently it IS used in a drug of some sort!  

 The stream...poor dying salmon!

 Another totem...this one is the son of the chief of the Whale House...I was told the story, but don't remember and REALLY don't want to mess it up!!!
