What do you get when you put to 2 crazy teens together for a weekend trip to bustling Vancouver B.C? Lots of crazy photos, midnight explorations, cable T.V. and 2 frazzled parents! In March we celebrate Lucas' 17
th birthday and
Yaniza's 18
th birthday. Talk about making one feel old. I remember changing that girl's diapers and attending Lucas' 2
nd grade graduation. Yikes!
Vancouver was a blast. We visited
Capilano Suspension Bridge, Granville Island,
Stanely Park, and
Telus Science Center. Our favorite exhibit at the science center was the age machine that aged photos to 70 years. Very odd to see your kids as old men! Lit and I enjoyed some friendly competition...we strapped sensors to our heads and tried to see who could relax the most over a short time period. You all think Lit won, right? Wrong! I did.
Yaniza and Lucas like the reproduction exhibit, go figure. Forrest loved the challange of building a dinosaur and butterfly
without instructions.
Vancouver and culinary arts. Yum! Our first night we feasted at an Indian
resturaunt in Gas Town and enjoyed lots of different types of curry. It was the first Indian food experience for
Yaniza. The next evening, we went to a brew pub voted the Best Brew Pub in Canada! There we feasted on the best spicy Thai green beans in my life! A hit with the entire family.
Saturday, Forrest performed at our annual Suzuki Concert. Sadly, I wasn't able to be there as I had rehearsal for my own concert that night. Big brother Lucas came from Seattle and good friends Sara and Robby attended too. I heard that Forrest was very poised and confident performing. Yeah! Three years of lessons and recitals are paying off. Way to go Forrest!
Spring break has come and gone. Forrest's cousins, Carlos and Lorenzo, spent break with us. They enjoyed days filled with bowling, swimming, video games, Legos and pajama runs to Dairy Queen. We had a hard time convincing Lorenzo, 4 years old, that the Dudley pajama run was not going over to the track and running in pajamas. He insisted it was and that Forrest and Carlos were too old to participate. Aah, the mind of a 4 year old. Ain't it grand?
