Vancouver

Well, the kids are now international travelers and we finally tested using our enhanced licenses. We've been wanting to get more familiar with BC since we are SO close!
First stop, Tim Hortons for donuts...
Then to Stanley Park. There's lots of cool stuff to do there but since we didn't know what we were doing it was hard to find our way around and figure out what we wanted to do. We learned alot though. They definitely nickel and dime you to death when you're there though!
Then to the Vancouver Aquarium at the park. The kids were tired but it was fun. Much nicer than the Seattle aquarium. We ended up getting a year pass which pays for itself in 2 visits and gives you discount passes to other things like the zoo and the science center. It also keeps the boys free for another year rather than charging them when they're 4 so that will be fun.
They have a 4D film at the aquarium complete with getting splashed and poked. Jaden and Kylie lasted under a minute and then totally lost it. So I left with them and apparently Jackson sat in stunned silence with Jared through the rest of it. When he came out he said he didn't like it but was as happy as a clam.
last stop...White Rock for dinner. LOTS of walking this time but it is SO beautiful there and SO close to our house.
All in all a great day. Though, for the record, Canada has the worst street markings of anywhere I've ever been. every time we go something ridiculous happens :)
Enjoy the pictures....
