We were going to do it all in one day.
Drive up (early) to Whistler (3 hours away) ~
Howie would be busy with work while
I wandered around the village
with the children for the day ~
and then, we would drive back home
(late) that night.
But...
Howie's sister and husband
kindly allow us to use their time-share
when it's available.
And...
It was available! :)
So...
we had a little two night
getaway at the end
of our school year.
We are thankful!
We arrived on the first night
just in time to see the Canucks
(our hockey team)
lose game seven of the
Stanley Cup playoffs to Boston.
A sad day.

Emma's camera makes smaller images it seems.

Howie worked the next day.
We explored.
The 2010 Olympics were held in Vancouver.
One of the venues for ski events was
Whistler Mountain.
We went to the top and found this bobsled.
A perfect photo opportunity ~ no?
We rode the "Peak 2 Peak" Gondola.
Oh. Dear. Me.
What an experience!
Fear of heights anyone?
The view from up there...
God's magnificent creation!
We discovered the Olympic Rings
at the edge of Whistler Village.
Howie was able to join us
the last day we were there...
We found the torch! :)
The drive provides breathtaking views.
So beautiful!
1426. A couple of nights away as a family ~
joining Howie on a business trip.
1427. Enjoying the outdoors with the children
1428. Canoeing and Kayaking together for an hour
1429. Spotting and eagle ~
Calvin was able to get some great shots
with his zoom lens! :)
1430. The majesty of the mountains ~
I never tire of their beauty
1431. New experiences and sharing them with our children
My journal sits on my counter.
I list as events unfold.
Sometimes many all at once,
and other times in a trickle.
Would you like to begin?
Just grab a pen and a journal,
set them out on the counter,
and list out your blessings.
Find the joy in the moments ~
As they arrive.
Enjoy the journey!
Many Blessings,
Camille
