Whistler, BC Part 3


9/21/2011
Wednesday we drove a bit to Pemberton to see the "salmon run." We saw a lot of salmon, but there were also a lot of dead ones so it was too stinky to get out for a picture... We had a picnic at one mile lake and also went on the hike Nairn Falls. For dinner we ate the most delicious BBQ I've ever had at Bob's BBQ and then went home for games.

Thursday was really rainy, bummer!!! We played games a lot and later went shopping in the Village.

Friday was our last day. We left the condo by 8:30. We drove through Vancouver and then went by the new LDS temple in Langley. Lindsey and Carlton served their missions here a few years ago so it was fun to think of them while driving around. The temple was beautiful. We then had to wait 40 minutes to get back in to the US.







 We missed Lindsey, Carlton, and Dawson! ... next time! Love you!

Whistler, BC Part 2


9/19/2011
Monday we rented 3 mountain bikes and rotated who rode them all day long. Whistler has tons of amazing bike trails, Dan and Andrew were in heaven! During the day we saw a black bear and cubs by the lake, no pictures though because I didn't have my camera most of the day. Alexa liked us to push her around in her stroller on the small BMX type course. She also got to play in the Whistler Village playground. That night we ate the the Spaghetti Factory in Whistler Village.

Tuesday was a great day. It was sunny, warm, and beautiful! We rode the gondola up to Whistler peak and then got to ride the Peak to Peak gondola across to the Blackcomb mountain peak. It was really amazing up there! We went on a couple of hikes on top of the mountains. At one spot there were these friendly birds that would land on you if you held out your hand. We also rand around on some glaciers up there.
Later that afternoon we went to Lost Lake and the boys went on a rope swing into the freezing water.
We had some tacos and then went to another lake park. The lakes in Whistler are so pretty!
