Spring in Vancouver

This is a view of the mountains from our neighborhood.

Caleb and Karis are wheeling their way to the park.

Ben's favorite place to be is "outslide".

This is a little bitty steam engine at a local park.

Cherry Blossoms are Everywhere!

We are learning all about getting around Vancouver now. We learn about a new bus every day that goes here or there. We have been figuring out what to do when we get to the bus stop only to see the bus rolling on down the road. We've learned what sky train stations have working elevators so that we can get to the platform with the stroller. We've learned where to buy groceries and where not to. We've learned what parks have good slides. We've learned about some of the best places to meet up with people in our neighborhood and even a couple of stores where we might run into West Africans.

We have class sessions about four days a week now and the rest is time out in the field. The kids have quickly located some things they want to do. Now they just need to locate the money tree so that they can do them all!!! You can ski or snowboard around here. There is a great aquarium and a zoo. There are all sorts of shops and parks. There are swimming pools and restaurants of every kind. There is whale watching and ice skating. There are beaches and mountains and waterfalls. Of course we have to do our work, but we hope to do many of the things that are Vancouver specials during the time we are here.

I hope you all are having a great time basking in the glory of our risen Savior!
