Grami and Poppy's Visit!!!

Jeff's parents, aka "Grami and Poppy" :) came to visit weekend before last. It was so good to see family and be able to show them our new home. We filled each day with tons of fun and sight seeing. We showed them around downtown and Metro Vancouver, Stanley park, Capilano Bridge, Shannon Falls, Whistler, and they got to see Ty play baseball. We all had a great time, and I think we wore them out!!!

On the Bridge, about to go across!!

Ty, Jeff, Emma and I all climbed across some rocks by Shannon Falls, and I got a great pic of my wonderful husband and great kiddos!!

Well, this was probably most exciting part of the whole trip!!!! We saw 2 BEARS!!!! We were driving up to Whistler and Jeff wanted to go see if we could show Grami and Poppy the ski jump area from the Olympics. Well the sign said it was closed buy we went up the long road anyway, and we were all so glad we did!!! The first bear was the brown bear below and we saw him twice, once on the way up and once on the way back. The 2nd bear was black and he is pictured above. ALL of us loved seeing the bears!!!

Okay. I'm off the "Jealous Meter" now. You just drive up a road and see two huge bears... close up. How excited were the kids?

Beautiful pictures. I'm glad you had a good visit with family.

(And the picture of Jeff and the kids would make a great Christmas card if you were in it, too.)
