Vancouver

Chris and I spent the long weekend up in Vancouver with my parents.  It was so fun.  I love that city.  In fact, we may have been a little too excited to show Chris how awesome it is.  We just have a lot of Canadian pride.  He did comment several times on how much vegitation there is how many Indian people there are. Both very true. 

On Saturday, we decided to go check out the Capilano Suspension bridge.  You heard me right, Capilano, not our regular show-off-Vancouver sight seeing tour of Lynn Canyon.  We decided it was time to go see what Capilano was really all about.  It's pretty expensive and touristy and in the long run, not really better than Lynn Canyon... at all.  But we did have a lot of fun taking pictures in all the "photo op" spots (ie, giant grizzly bear in a mounty costume, totem poles with spots missing for your face...)  Honestly, who can pass that up? Capliano also has a section of suspension bridges high up in the trees called the "Tree Top adventure".  It was pretty cool, but the kind of thing that would have been more fun with some nieces and nephews running around.

From there we went to Stanley Park and then Canada Place to stare enviously at the two cruise ships about to depart for Alaska.  (sigh) Some day...  We strolled down gas town and found a car show going on.  Dad was in heaven, of course and we had to keep a close eye on him, since he immediately forgot he had even come here with anyone else.  He was just too engrossed.

We stopped near Kits beach next for some intense games of bocci.  Chris and I finally took Mom and Dad in the sixth game.

On Sunday we went to the branch with Mom and Dad.  Their branch is so cool.  There is an amazing spirit.  SO MANY new converts.  We just don't get that experience very often.  Chris and I even stayed for the baptism of a new member.  It's been ages since I have been to a baptism.  Very cool.

On Sunday we took a sabbath stroll through Watershed.  Here we are marveling at God's creations.
