A Gazillion Little Trips


Alice Lake

Andrea and Chris like to take Chris's son on long drives to help him nap. One of their favourite destinations is Alice Lake, just North of Squamish. We decided to join for a day. It took us about an hour and twenty minutes to drive up (Nara slept for much of it) and then we arrived at the very busy lake. We got Nara in her swim suit and we went for a dip!

I was really happy to get out there. City parks are great, but real BC Parks with their own mountains are much cooler. We haven't done any camping this year - hopefully that will return next year.

QE Park

Jin and Dominique organized a picnic at QE park and kindly invited us. The kids mostly did the parallel play thing, and Nara really enjoyed pushing around Noelle's baby stroller.

Playground at Kits Highschool


Holding On To The Duck On Sundays we like to visit the farmer's market at the Kits High School/Community Centre. There is a good little playground as well as a water park.

Nara Sticking Her Hand         InIn recent weeks it's been getting hotter so having a nice place to cool off is good for the kids. Nara has been to Granville Island's water park a lot so she has the hang of water parks now - how not to get too wet, but still have fun.

Queen's Park in New West

Being near the end of Summer, my sister and her husband, both school teachers, need to think about getting back to work. We organized a meet up at Queen's Park - it's about half way between our house and my sisters house. It has a large playground, a water park and a petting zoo so there is a ton for kids to do.
