Vancouver Sunday

On Sunday, we had to pick up mom from the cruise ship terminal in Vancouver.  The day actually looked like it was going to be a nice one so we decided to make a day out of it.  Mom had arranged to meet us at the Olympic flame and we spent a bit of time walking around there.  When we last saw the Olympic flame, it was surrounded by fences and thousands of other poeple.  This time it was nice to be able to get close and have a better view.  The kids enjoyed each throwing in their coins and making a wish.  Too bad their wish didn't come true!  (they each wished for the Canucks to win game 6!!)
 This Orca statue was pretty cool too.  It looked like a giant lego statue.
 We then drove on to Stanley Park where we spent the afternoon.  Kevin had memories of coming to Prospect Point with his dad when he was little so we figured we would get a picture there too.
 Jocelyn thought the most interesting part of the scenery was all the little rocks in the cracks of the woods. Amazing what they find to hold their attention.
 A fairly successful attempt at a family picture!
 Finally we walked along the sea wall and explorec the beaches out at low tide, finding some cool crabs, shells and other beach stuff. 
 And, a very quiet ride home!
