Vancouver Olympics 2010

Dad, Mom, Lisa, my friend, and I went to downtown Vancouver on Monday to see all of the Olympic sights. We took the sky train into Vancouver, which was a lot of fun! We went to Robson Square, BC place, Lonsdale Quae, the Vancouver airport, and saw the Olympic flame. Even then we didn't get to see everything. At Lonsdale Quae, a reporter took our photo and it is in the North Shore News paper! When we returned to Robson Square at night, we saw protesters that were demonstrating against the war in Afganistan.

The Vancouver Art Museum. It's free during the Olympics, but we didn't get to go inside while we were in Vancouver because there was a long line!

Japanese Olympic speed skaters

My Mom, Grandma and I were able to go and watch the Japanese Olympic speed skaters practice today. It was in Abbotsford (just across the border from Sumas) at the rec. center there. It was really cool to watch the practice!

They were going so fast!

The Coach

Pretty cool skates!

Taking a break

The whole group

The Walkers

After going to the Museum of Flight, we stayed the night and part of the day with the Walkers.

We enjoyed good company, great food, and lots of laughter during our visit! Before we left, Tony took us out for doughnuts at Top Pot Doughnuts (I wish we had one in Lynden)!

The Museum of Flight

As part of our Christmas break, we went to Seattle to visit some of our friends and to tour the Museum of Flight. We were able to tour the WWI and WWII exhibits which were really cool! We even got to walk through the Concord and an Air Force One airplane! Even though we spent four hours at the museum we weren't able to see all of it, and I really want to see the rest of the museum!

Wiser Lake

Dad and I were able to walk over Wiser Lake this winter when it was cold enough for the lake to freeze. It was so much fun!
