Currently back home!
Today we met our auntie Jennifer, Uncle Jonathon and our cousins Rachel, Lauren, Olivia and Ellie at Queen’s Park in New Westminster. There was also a petting zoo there. At the petting zoo we stroked goats and kittens.
Then we went to a little park next to the petting zoo and then we ate pizza. Next we went into a water park and we got soaked! We had a great time!
Today me and Mummy went up Grouse Mountain on a gondola and we could see the great view from the top. First I went on the kids canopy play area and I could run on nets in the trees.
Next we went to see the lumberjack show and we saw them climb a sixty foot tree! They also balanced on a log and they fell into the water and they cut wood and made a chair.
We also went to see the bears ‘Coola’ and ‘Grinder’. We took pictures of the bears and we went to the bear lookout and I got a bear cookie. Also we saw the bears being fed carrots and apples.
I went on the chairlift up to the top and I saw the view from the top. Then I went back down to the middle bit of the mountain.
I played on the kids canopy adventure playground again and I tried chasing Sam around but we kept getting caught on the nets and stuff.
Then we got the gondola back down to the bottom of the mountain.
Today we went to the Pride Parade. This is a colourful party where people can dress up in whatever they want and there were lots of motorbikes at the start.
We saw lots of floats and we heard lots of music. People were dressed in colourful outfits and there were lots of rainbow flags. Lots of men were dressed up as women and people were on roller blades whilst playing hockey.
Lots of people gave us…
(Note from Mike – bonus point to anyone who can tell me who the guy in the 7th picture is…)
Today we went to the Burnaby Village Museum. We went to an old house who’s first owner was called Martha. They moved the house from down the road on a big truck to where it is now.
We rode on the carousel and it was really fast and my horse was called ‘John Ernest’ and Sam’s horse was called ‘Scampering Dawn’. Sam’s horse had flowers on it and my horse was brown.
We went to an old tram station and we went on board and I rang the bell.
Then we went to an ice cream parlour and we had a massive ice cream. Sam’s ice cream was cotton candy flavour and mine was chocolate.
We also went to some old shops like a barber, doctor, black smith, cinema, general store, bank and a music store.
I also played a big game of snakes and ladders and I won.
A lot of people came from China to Canada. Some of them grew and sold vegetables and had shops. They weren’t allowed to do their own jobs.
Today we went to the Apple store and we programmed some Sphero robots to:
I coded my robot to set off from a yellow spot to go around a chair and then come back exactly to the spot it started on. It was fun because we got to use an iPad to control it.
Today I played tennis and daddy got some new tennis balls so we played tennis with them. It was hot and I played tennis with Sam.
Hello to my tennis friends at Skipton Tennis Centre! I love my lessons there so am practising for when I get back.
It was funny when I hit daddy with the tennis ball.
Next we went to the nearby shopping centre and I got an ice cream and Sam got some cotton candy mini melts ice cream.
For tea we went out with my family from Vancouver and we went out to a restaurant and I had rice and soy sauce.
We did some school work in the morning in the hostel library. Then we had a walk down to the port area where the boats were and had a picnic and played in a mini play area. However, because it was very hot, we walked back in to town and to the hostel.
