Vancouver Trip

Off we went to the Vancouver Temple Open House..We had been watching the construction on the temple for a year now so of course we had to see the final product..I have never done an open house before..It was fabulous..We watched a video first on typical explanations of temples but also on the growth and history of the church in BC..The inside of the temple is gorgeous..They have paintings depicting local scenery throughout the temple..Well worth the trip just going to the Open House but of course we had to add more..

We headed to Fort Langley after the temple..This forts shows how the area trappers worked years ago..The kids had fun playing...

This photo was taken right before Anna-Maria dumps water all over her pants..It wasn't a warm day despite her short sleeves..

Love the antlers..The sticker was given to us to wear while we were inside..The kids opted to wear them on their foreheads..

Fashionista...

We next drove to Surrey to Bear Creek Park..recommended by a friend..The kids tried to play on the playground but there seemed to have been a thousand kids there..So we headed to the Gardens next to the playground.

There is a miniture train that runs in the park..They just watched and waved as it went by..

View from our hotel..not bad...The mountains were stupendous..

Indian for dinner of course..We were in the land of Indians..a bit spicy and not filling so we had to head to Dairy Queen afterwards to cool off our mouths..

Sunday morning we finally headed home...The border crossing was long........
