Whistler

We had a wonderful time up in Whistler, Canada.  We spent the week with my Mom and my sister and her family.  It was so much fun.  Whistler is just beautiful in the summer and nice and cool :)  

My sister is a planner at heart and so each day we had different activities for us to do.  One day we went to an indoor swimming pool that had a great area for small children.  I did not take any photo unfortunately but the kids loved it.  I think Rachel spent more time under water than above it.  Luna and Cooper were two peas in pod and spent most of their time together.  Even Woodrow had fun splashing in the shallow water.  

One of the days we went the Family Adventure Zone over at Blackcomb.  There are a bunch of different rides for the kids to go on. Luna and Cooper had a blast.  Rachel was a little small for most of the rides so she just watched along with Grandma.  Our two highlights were the Alpine Luge, I loved this and so did Luna. 

Then there was the bungee trampoline.  Luna thought this was great and was not scared one bit.  When she first started out, I was nervous for her, she was so high up there but she did great.  Luna is such a dare devil, nothing really scares her, it is amazing.  

Of course while we were up there we had to enjoy some ice cream in the village. My kids are just starting to pick ice cream based on flavor and not color.  It use to be all color.  But this time around they pick bubble gum.  

Rachel acquired a "pet" while we were there.  Here she is with her "pet" deer.  She adored this pet and talked about her alot.  She would even ask if she could go "hang out" with her pet.  It was hysterical, on the last day she went to go visit her pet to say goodbye and the deer was gone :( We have no idea what happened to it.  My Mom said it had been there for years.

We also did the Peak to Peak gondola.  The views were breath taking from the top and the kids loved playing around in the snow.  We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the top with spectacular views.  

Our week was busy full of lots of activities and quality time with our extended family. So glad we could go on this family vacation, just wish Daddy could have enjoyed it with us. :(
