Once school let out, we headed up to Whistler BC for a week of vacation and Canada Day. Unfortunately, Canada Day was rained out, and as you can see, most of the days had temperatures that required jackets.
Fortunately, Whistler has more than enough for us to do! There are a few videos at the bottom of the post after the pictures…

Chris tried out his courage on the “Spin Cycle” at the base of Blackcomb Mountain:

We were able to capture Cody in his “frantic puppy” state – puppies usually do this just before they’re about to crash for a nap or for the night:

We don’t have a big mirror at Cody’s height at home. Cody discovered a “friend” while up at Whistler:

While out on the trails, the kids ventured into the Skate Park with their Razor scooters:
As you can see from the counter on the right (if you’re reading this at the end of June), the kids get out of school today. The weather is perfect for the last day of school – you can definitely tell from the picture of Cody:
Here are a few photos from the day AND some from the past weekend where we had a chance to partake in Greek Day on Broadway.
… Well, it’s the project from Chris’s Introduction to Architecture course that he took at the Arts Umbrella at Granville Island.
It’s made of balsa wood, glue (lots of work with a glue gun!) and fishing line. It stands almost three feet tall and was one of the structures that definitely drew attention.
We watched this structure grow and grow over the weeks of his course. To the initial two towers and bridge span, he added details such as a walkway, railings, suspension “cables” and extra support footings.
I gotta say, it’s well built and actually fit without much issue in our car.
It now gets a premium display spot on top of the piano!
