Leg Two: Vancouver

Ahhh how I miss the weather in Vancouver. Sixish degrees and it didn't rain a drop while we were there. Considering the crappo weather they had right before we arrived, we were quite lucky.

We were greeted at the airport with bouquets of tulips and Emilia pushing the baggage cart. She's so grown up! My parents thought that it was hysterical to see the look on the faces of Alyson and I as we watched Emilia zoom around, this kid is across a room before you can blink your eyes. We may have seemed a little alarmed since she's almost exactly a year older than Olan and Isabelle. It was a little window to the future and made us appreciate things like setting our babies down and them being in relatively the same spot 5 minutes later, nevermind 5 seconds :)

Alyson and I stayed with Madeline, which was heavenly. She's gotten out all Emilia's "dinosaur" toys for our kids and I even had a change table in my room! Baby towels were set out with grown-up towels, it was like being at a resort for moms and babies, complete with someone to make you a latte in the morning and watch your baby while you showered. So spoiled!

We filled the days with shopping, (we even took them over the border for the the first time and went outlet mall shopping in Washington), yummy dinners, Granville market, wandering around downtown, walking in the a crazy forest, getting spoiled by Aunty Tepp, etc., etc., etc. Good times.

Then we headed up to Whistler for the weekend.
