PaPa and MiMi came to visit us in Vancouver in July. We had a blast the whole time they were here, and did so many things we hadn't tried yet in Vancouver. They arrived on Tuesday and we took them to eat and then to show them the kids school/playground. Then, the girls went and got our nails done, and the guys went to a putt putt place downtown. I only got one pic of the nail place and it was on my phone and I haven't gotten it off yet :(. That night we went to see "Singin' in the Rain" at an outdoor theatre in Stanley Park. The kids were zoned in the whole time and we all enjoyed seeing the musical in a cool place like the park. On Wednesday we woke up and went to a water park in Cultus B.C. called Cultus Lake. It was a very warm day for the vancouver area (low 80's) so we had a blast, but by the end all of the adults were getting pretty chilly :) The kids could have stayed forever!! We ate at a fish and chips place that night and then rented bikes for my parents and headed to see "Celebration of Lights" at the beach. "Celebration of Lights" is a fireworks show that they have for 4 nights where countries compete against each other. We were able to see USA that night. On Thursday, we went to Granville Island, rode all of the different types of public transportation, saw Gastown, and ended the day riding our bikes around the seawall at Stanley Park!
(and this was supposed to be our "rest"dayhaha) On Friday we went to Lynn Canyon and went on the suspension bridge, then we headed to Shannon Falls (where I realized I had a kidney stone--grrrr!!!!) then went horseback riding, and finally headed up to Whistler to see the Olympic ski jump, biathalon, and bobsleigh. Every minute was filled and we really enjoyed their visit!!!
Ty putt-putting.
Out of order--but a pic of Emma coming down one of the slides at the water park.

Sure looks like y'all are great tour guides! I know Emma and Ty had a great time with their grandparents.
I know everyone loves to come visit your family. You do the neatest things! Vancouver looks so beautiful, and it looks like y'all have done a great job of exploring and enjoying your new city.
I would love to see Vancouver some day!
And Cham does the same thing with his pictures from PNW. I definitely want to go there one day, too.
Two more things to put on my "100 Things to Do Before I'm 90" list!
Love all the pictures! That is a great picture of you, your mom, and Emma- you should frame it:)
