British Columbia: Part I

This past weekend my parents arrived from California for a long visit. We are so excited to go and do fun things with them while they are here. The morning after the evening they arrived, we headed off to Canada for the weekend. This is the area my dad served an LDS mission many years ago, so he has been very excited to come back and see the area again.





First stop is Stanley Park, to see the Totem Poles.



Dylan and Grandma


Dylan getting a ride.:)




Scott enjoying the sunshine and the view




The kids all loved taking turns with grandpa's "goggles", and Dylan was not to be left out.






Our twins had run ahead, who knows where they were for this picture.:)





A little train in the park (Dylan was taking a nap in the car with Grandma; we can't seem to all get together for a picture...)





Grandpa Richard and Scotty




Scott thought he could give Grandpa a piggy back ride





Free rides for all!




After the park, we went to a little neighborhood in Vancouver called Gastown. This steam clock was supposed to give a "show" every hour, but was broken when we were there. Unfortunately we didn't know that until after we had waited for about half an hour...




The next day we went to church in Langley, and it ended up being right across the street from the new temple they just dedicated there. (And no, my dad didn't go to church in his shorts, we went back to the hotel to change and get our cameras after church:)


Next we drove to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. There ended up being lots of fun things to do there.




Mom walking across the bridge. It was quite shaky and Madeline was a little nervous the first time across. Luckily when going back across, she was jumping around and having some fun.




The kids each got a cute tattoo on their faces. Scott and Dylan's were little bears, Madeline's was a picture of the bridge.



Um, don't know why this picture is sideways, but don't want to take the time to turn it.:) There was a little treetop adventure that we ran through. Lots of bridges.



Overall we had a great time. Next weekend we are heading back to Vancouver to do some more sightseeing.:)
