Busy Day

We started the day at Granville Island taking the taxi ferry boat to Yaletown and back.

Piper Spit / Ambleside

On Tuesday we went to Piper Spit to feed the ducks and just wander around the butterfly garden.




 On Wednesday we went to Ambleside Park for an afternoon of beach playing.

Maplewood Farm

Today we visited Maplewood Farm where the girls fed the rabbits, petted goats, milked the cow and made sure to clean their runners on the way out.

Confederation Train Ride

Today we went on the train ride at Confederation Park and then strolled over to the newly renovated playground.

 I finally met my double.

Barnet Beach

Yesterday we went for a bike ride along the urban trail. This morning we went to Barnet Beach. It was very crowded but our intention was to stay for a short time so that worked out well. The girls and Casey collected a few rocks for the afternoon activity which of course consisted of rock painting.
