Vancouver Part 1: baby, hugs and parks

From Halifax we flew across the country to see my sister Julee and her family.  She couldn't wait, and had her baby the day before we arrived - and it was quite an exciting delivery!

We spent half of our days taking the kids to various parks around Vancouver; a necessity to let the kids run off energy, and to let Julee and Evie get some rest.  The rest of our time was spent playing with trains (kids) playing board games (adults) and eating. 

I have fallen seriously behind in my blogging so here are the highlights of the Vancouver visit.

Yes, our visit pretty much consisted of baby, parks, trains, games, hugs and food.  It doesn't get much better than that.

I can read the eyes in the final picture "Enough parks for now. Let's have a nap."

Wonderful post. Thanks Natalee.
