Vancouver Canada

Day Two in Canada!  We woke up early and took the ferry form Vancouver Island onto mainland Canada and the city of Vancouver.  Yes, Vancouver is not actually on Vancouver Island. 

Our first visit was north of the actual city at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.  This houses a HUGE suspension Bridge, as pictured behind us!

Man I love the northwest and trees!

I thought I might be a little nervous being on the actual bridge but I really wasn't.

Brent and Hayden seemed a little hesistant at first.

I put this picture to show you just how long this bridge was.  

The bridge is one of the main attractions of the park but there were so many other attractions offered.

Once we crossed the bridge there was a cliff walk.  The cliff walk was a walkway on the edge of the cliff that over looked the canyon and the bridge. 

The park really focused on ecological conservation, we discovered that Harper does not really have a really large wingspan.  A few more years and she may be up to a raven!

One of Harpers favorite things to do lately is lean back.  I think she really just wants to see what is going on behind her!

Thank you Grandma Forsberg for making sure Harper could stay warm in Canada.

I love this picture!

After the cliff walk, we went on the treetop adventure.  This is a walkway that is built in the top of the trees so you can get a squirrels eye view of the forest.

It is seriously so cool!

Hayden continued NOT wanting to pose for pictures, we were able to make him though.

After the adventure we fit in a quick game of checkers.  Hayden beat me, or at least he did for the purpose of this picture!

Our final stop was a walkway that actually went out over the ledge.We had to descend off the ledge of the canyon.  It was pretty far drop!

Cool view of the suspension bridge.

One thing I really appreciated this park was that it really used minimilism.  It really allowed the forest to be the focal point. 

Along the cliff walk we learned all sorts of things about water conservation... which apparently is important. 

Great family picture over the ledge.  

This kid is totally at home in the great northwest!

I thought we might be able to fit in the tree.

After the park we went into the city.  We ate at an amazing pub. Since I am a pretty cheap date, I usually get a burger. I decided to switvch it up and get a pizza.  It was an AMAZING choice.  It was a pesto pizza.  I was suppose to share with Brent but I really didn't end up giving him very much... oops!

We walked around a little afterward and saw this steam clock.  Brent had done his research (of course) and let us in on the secret that this clock was actually never powered by steam.  The steam is simply a tourist attraction... what a scandal!

Vancouver was so much fun.  It took us four hours and another speeding ticket to get back to Washington.  We were tired and ready to start Thanksgiving!
