Cool in Canada




 Raspberry picking is one of my kids' favorite activities to do when we visit Mike's parents in Vancouver.  I love the things we find there, like the pretty pink bell flowers pictured above and some huge gross black slugs we found.
We went to Grouse Mountain.  It was 35 degrees on the top of the mountain.  We were freezing.  We watched a lumber jack show on the top of the mountain.  They gave Kailyn a tiny chair they cut out at the show.  The kids laughed at the sight of the snow and ice.  Mike really wanted to do the zip line, but the temperature and lack of visibility changed his mind.  We were literally in a cloud!

 Coming down the mountain, we got to see the cloud we were inside of.






Lion's Gate park is one of our favorites.  The kids (and Mike) like running on the big tires.  Kailyn likes the park and doesn't try to run on the tires yet.  I bet she tries next year.  Even Tyler got brave and jumped for a few tires just out of his reach.
