Back in Vancouver - 1 week till mom and dad arrive!

So its been an interesting week, with lots of variation, and its nearly Sunday when Mom and Dad arrive, cant wait!

Taking Lilly to the creek

There are loads of lovely creeks and rivers in and around Vancouver, and its a common past time to swim in them, rather than the sea, apparently they are warmer. I have to be honest and say that its not my thing, so in this instance, i am an observer! Lilly of course is having the time of her life!

Baking

Well Jen and i decided to make banana bread, but there was a dispute, so we made 3, two with chocolate chip and one without. I am not a great fan of chocolate chip but its really big here and in the states. Thats not all, they love cookies(thats what they call biscuits) so much so you can get an ice cream flavour called "cookie dough"!

Dog washing

Another of my little tasks and this time i had a helper, Lilly loves the water so having a bath is just great fun for her. Here you can see Jen drying off Lilly on my bed!

Sight seeing

This week i was lucky to get taken out in the convertable and saw two different places.

Burnaby Mountain Conservation Park

This is a lovely area maybe 15 minutes drive from North Van and its like being totally away from everything, just gorgous! The totem poles below are actually Japanese and the views from the top of the hill where there is a pretty rose garden and some fancy hedge work.

Deep Cove - a lovely area in East Vancouver, sweet little mariner and cute coffee shops.

Wohoo and i got to have some fun in the Chryzler convertable - what a show off! Poor Bill was forced to pose, for me it comes naturally :)

Tomorrow is Friday, yippee, another tough week at the office!!
