Day 5 - Vancouver

Another long and beautiful day in Vancouver and we are loving it!! Although our bodies may not be tomorrow. Headed out to Grouse Mountain this morning which was itself an adventure with Ian trying to remember to stay on the right hand side of the road!! 😂

Anyway we arrived at Grouse Mountain safe and sound and decided we would walk up the 2.9km, 830 metre high elevation trail with 2830 stairs - what were we thinking?? It was really hard but I was so proud of the kids for making it up there (encouraged by the promise of Beaver Tails).  We made it in 97 minutes which I thought was pretty good. The view up the top was amazing and definitely well worth it. The kids especially were sooo excited to see snow and immediately started trying to make snowballs for a snowball fight!

We took the chairlift even higher up the mountain and saw the big wind turbine. Also got to have a bit more fun in the snow. ❄️

Back down on the chairlift and a celebratory visit to Beaver Tails - yummy!!
Next off to meet the 2 resident bears, Coola & Grinder. It was lots of fun to see bears- in an enclosure! 😂

Down the sky ride & then off to Lynn Park canyon for a beautiful walk down to have a look at the waterfalls and to take a stroll over the suspension bridge! Stunning scenery!
Stopped at Denny's on the way back for dinner (thanks Rach) and all children fast asleep before 9pm!
