BC Trip - Last Leg

Our ferry ride back wasn't quite as enjoyable weather wise. We still spent some time on the deck, making the girls laugh as we ran out into the wind and then back to shelter again.

Daddy & Catherine braving the wind

A typical look into the insides of the mini-van. It may appear tidy at first glance, but we brought MUCHO STUFF. Next time we make the trip, we should be down by one playpen and one set of diapers.

Needing to burn some of Catherine's energy, we took walks around Hanny & Arnt's place. There were some lovely paths and beautiful gardens to explore. Although we'd never move, BC has some powerful draws. What can I say besides we love our greenery. Though Robyn can't claim watering the plants at home, she sure likes looking at them.


Sonya loving the Bjorn - as always

Not sure, trying a replant?

Having a swinging good time - sorry, had to be said

Another nice visit with Marijke

A horticulturist in the making? Probably not, she's a picker

A sweet smile before.....

Catherine took a much needed nap - she hasn't fallen asleep on anyone for quite awhile. Mommy savoured it

Veronica (Glen's cousin just back from Norway) & Sonya. We appreciate the effort everyone made to visit despite the huge time difference and long flight

~.~.~.~

We also had a nice visit with Steve, an old university friend of Glen's parents. We had a nice lunch at Red Robins (choice made for kid screaming purposes). We then drove to a lovely park called Burnaby Mountain Park (I think).

Catherine loved this sign. We had to pull her away or we'd still be standing there

You won't see any greenery like this in Calgary. :(

On to the next distraction

Round & Round

Happy group

Last day, and one last cuddle with Hanny - Thanks again for letting us stay with you!
