Living in Washington state near the British Columbia border, we are able to visit the amazing Whistler skiing resort. Once we had children, our visit to Whistler changed a bit. We weren't as free to do the same things we did when we were in our 20s, pre-kids. But thankfully, there is so much to do in Whistler with kids. One place that families must visit is Bounce. {We love Bounce!} So as you can see, my husband loved jumping and doing flips off the top steps into the pool of foam squares. He … [Read more...]
Prince George, B.C.
Traveling 8 hours north of the Canadian border was not easy being as pregnant as I am, but it went pretty well. We arrived in Prince George, B.C. safely and easily. I stopped quite a bit for bathroom breaks and to stretch my legs. Since we have arrived we have been getting great weather. The sun has been out almost every day and it has been over 50 degrees each day. (I still can't figure out how much that is in Celsius, but our van tells us the temp in F.) Things we recommend to do … [Read more...]
Bible Marking
When you don't hear a toddler for a certain length of time, you realize that they may just be doing something they are not supposed to.How many of you know what I am talking about?At church the other day, I didn't hear my Princess.

You are not supposed to write your … [Read more...]
Broken Pipe
Do we have bad luck or what? A rusted pipe. Not our house. Now the shower in the master bathroom is out of commission. I realize that I haven’t been bragging up the house we are staying in here in William’s Lake. It is beautiful! Nestled high in the hills above the lake, we are surrounded by evergreen and birch trees. We have deer and marmots (which are very cute!) on our hill. The deer population might just exceed the human population on this hill. We have a new game—counting the deer on our … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: William’s Lake, B.C.
Skate Park Fun
A child who has no fear, and loves her scooter.A husband who grew up with a skateboard.The love of a local skate park was inevitable.As my Princess scoots around the skate park, watching with admiration the skateboarders doing tricks around her, she tries in vain to come up with her own tricks.She yells,“Look Daddy!” And lets go with BOTH hands. Tumbling to the cement, she jumps back up with a big grin. Silly girl!Her second trick was much less difficult: lifting one leg while zooming past … [Read more...]
Beautiful William’s Lake
A peaceful calm and wonderful smells of outdoor pines and greens confront me right when we got out of our minivan. The beauty of William’s Lake is very difficult to put into words and the feeling you get when walking the trails along the nature center. {You know, I often start “writing” blog posts in my head during the day, only to forget them when I sit down to type.} While exploring with our Princess {she thinks she is Dora today}, I lagged behind taking in the sites, and smells, while taking … [Read more...]
