June 30 - Spending time with Arlo

While Shan and Carl took some time to go rock climbing, Shuff, Arlo and I went on a stroller ride to town. 

Had to stop in a park to see some old equipment. 


The town of Squamish has several mural depicting their culture. 


Mountain View’s wherever we went. 


Shan and Carl met us at Alice and BROHM Real Fruit ice cream. Great for a warm day. 

Back at the campground, Carl cooked us his special sauce for spaghetti. 


We all loved it but this one shows how much.

Arlo Playing at the Mamquam Campground - Arlo using tongs to fill up his dump truck. 

Tomorrow we leave for Kamloops, BC and the Alsups leave for Vancouver. 

June 29 - Sea to Sky Gondola and hiking

Another adventure!! We rode the Sea to Sky Gondola to Chief mountain. Breathtaking views of snow capped mountains. 

Then to start our hike, we walked on the swinging bridge AND it DID swing. 

Carl went for a run while Shan, Arlo, Shuff and I went hiking on the Panorama Trail and the Wonderland Trail. Trails through the forest and more striking views. 

Arlo snoozes as Shan and he walk. 

After his snooze, Arlo walked about three-quarters of a mile. He was so much fun. He kept looking for snail poop! 

Back at the gondola station we all had a much deserved drink. 

June 28 - Biking in Whistler

Today’s adventure took us to Whistler. Beautiful drive with rugged mountain vistas of sheer rock. 

Whistler was the site of the Olympics in 2012 (I think). Whistler village had lots of shopping and restaurants. 

Shannon and Carl’s friends, Matt and Christine and their 3 kids met us in Whistler Village. They were our bike route tour guides for the day. 

Arlo promptly fell asleep. 

We made a few stops along the way to let the kids play. One was Green Lake. 

They are serious, whatever they were watching. 

Quincy took this picture. 

Next stop was at Rainbow Lake for some beach fun. 

Wildflowers were blooming. 

Last stop was for the adults at Coast Mountain Brewery. 

Look who is camping with us—Carl, Shan and Arlo. Their campground reservations were canceled because of the fire so I asked our campground if they could park in front of us. They were so accommodating. 

Another great day. 

June 27 - New Territory-Sqamish, BC

Before we leave for our campground in British Columbia, we took a walk along the bay to see if we could see the harbor seals  

The seals must love this area. We always see several. 

Left for Canada about 11:00. Went through customs and water craft check and were back on the road by 1:15. Crossed this architectural beauty. 

Should reach Squamish by 3:00. 

Made it to Mamquam River Campground.  Set the jacks and left immediately for the brewery to meet Shan, Carl and Arlo. 

Arlo was so cute. He was excited to see us.
