Towel Animals

The kids thought these were great.....

 

There was a new one each night on the bed. 

Three little monkeys!

Day 1....Vacouver Departure, we are sailing

Just before 5pm on Wednesday afternoon we were finally off.  The ship starts boarding around 11 am, we got there about noon and there were lines to go through immigration and then check in but they were not too bad.  A tour group had arrived just before we did and one after, if we had timed it better,I think we would have go through boarder security quicker.  These guys were a lot more pleasant than the usual ones you encounter at airports or worse still the land crossings.

The check in was quick, they took all our photos, issues us with cards and tagged the kids.  The kids had to wear wrist bands for the whole week.  The bands had the lifeboat number they were in on them so if they were at kids club someone would bring them to the correct life boat.

We were able to drop our hand luggage in the room and were off to check things out.  Lunch was being served in the Lido deck.  Kids thought it was fantastic. I did too, they could each have whatever they wanted and I wasn't shouting, I'm not running a restaurant, you know!

The evacuation drill was held before we left port, Rhys was very attentive and more than a little worried it might be real.  He was very happy when it was over!

Bunch of people milling around on the back deck and a couple of keen kids in the pool!

Checking out the upper decks. Wind was blowing Bella's dress up !

Escorted out by the water police.

Float plane overhead.

There were heaps taking off and landing on the harbour. 

We saw hundreds during our trip.  You don't realise how many are used up here.

Just fitting under a bridge.

Cute little lighthouse.

Toys on the bridge.

Mont Tremblant in the Summer

We wondered what it was going to look like in Summer after spending Christmas there (and that was gorgeous).  Summer was just as nice.  There are flowers everywhere and heaps of people.  It was a really busy weekend being Canada Day and a long weekend.  Everyone seemed to be out and about.  The weather was beautiful and it was fantastic to relax together. 

Mountaineer Hayden, love the look!

Switzerland next time?

Main Street

Look What They Did to Daddy!!!

Off we go...

We are off to Mont Tremblant for the long weekend.  It's Canada Day and time to get out of town.

Everyone is happy, except for Rhys!  Until we decided it was time for the Adventures of Brown Bear........more to follow on that!
