Whistler

It all started with a birthday party for Grandma.

 Then we headed north with a stop at the mining museum.  We've been planning this for two years.

 Panning for gold.

Then there was a hike after a morning of swimming.

With a visit from the moss-people.

Next we took a long bike ride with a stop for the playground, tennis, picnic, and water play.

Beautiful setting for a water park, eh?

 

We stopped to see the seaplanes on the way home.

Another day, another bike ride!

This time with a stop at our favorite swimming hole.

Is he a fish or a duck?

Swimming out to the dock with Dad.

We spent a day at the top of the mountains.  (Yes, that is purposefully plural.)  We rode the gondola up Whistler Mountain.

Snow in July!

These kids are troopers!  They literally hiked up the mountain until the adults were tired.  Elsa didn't get carried at all, and still had a smile on her face at the turn-around point.

Heading back down the trail with Grandma while Mom and Dad attempted to catch up with Grandpa.  (Which they didn't do; he passed them on his way down from the top.)

Lunch stop with a view.

Chairlift up to 7th Heaven on Blackcomb Mountain.

Chairlift down.  Nathan literally fell asleep on the lift.  Now that's a sign of a great day.



What a fun week with fun people!  Can't wait to see what we do next!  Cabo, anyone? :)
