Family Staycation 2015 Part 1

 Day 1 of our Staycation was to check out the

Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC.

 A quick Gondola took us to the peak over looking

Howe Sound and the city of Squamish (45 mins from Vancouver).

 Many neat areas to explore once at the top.

Multiple trails to explore taking you to different look-outs.

More serious hikers can day hike even further up.

 Although it was a Monday and overcast.

There were many people checking out the sights.

In the winter, they have a tube park....I know someone who would enjoy that!

 Day 2 took us to New Brighton Pool.

Located on the other side of the Second Narrows Bridge,

very close to Playland/PNE.

 It has been years, but I suited up and jumped in.

A good way to stay cool during another hot summer day.

Other than the forced 30 min. after eating, Logan was in the water

for almost 5 hours.  He did sleep well that night!

 Day 3 took us out to Cultas Lake

Water Slides.  Another very hot day eventhough

there was a hazy sky in the afternoon from the Harrison 

Wildfire.  Great park/facility!

 Logan's 9th Birthday fell on Day 4.

He chose to go to Playland and we asked one of his friends,

Westin, to join us.

 Another very hot day!  Being at the top of the

Ferris Wheel not only gave us nice views,

but also nice breezes!

 Sorry that I cut you half out of the picture, Mike.

The Boys liked the Hellevator.

 The boys didn't even fit into the car of this kiddie ride.

When we asked why they went on it, they said that

they wanted to practice for their driving test!

 Nothing like squashing your friend with centrifical force!

The boys saw some friends from school that were also

at Playland for the day.  When they learned it was Logan's

Birthday, they cheered, "Happy Birthday, Logan!"

 Time to call it a day!  Thanks for joining us Westin!

Happy 9th Birthday Logan!

Logan requested an Ice Cream cake.

What a great idea!  His favourite flavour,

Cookies & Cream.
