Bryan's Birthday

For Bryan's birthday this year, we headed up to Canada to discover a couple parks, get away from home for the day and spend some quality time as a family.  The first park I wanted to check out was completely closed for some big event so we drove around until we found a different one. 

Burnaby Lake Park

This park was more of a preserve and so big it was easy to forget we were still in the middle of the city.  It was mostly marshes and whatnot, not really up Bryan's alley, but the boys enjoyed exploring for a little while.

Seeing how crazy they could make the walk way rock.

After that we headed up to what turned out to be our favorite park of the day.

Burnaby Mountain Park

We want to go back there some day soon and do more exploring.  We ran out of time and it hit the uppers 80's so my northwest family was not enjoying the heat so much.  While we were there we saw no less then six wedding parties either getting married or on the mountain to take their wedding pictures.  The park is gorgeous with a rose garden, beautiful views of the inlet, forested areas and some totem poles.  Brandon liked the rope pyramid the best.

That's it for today, folks.  Time to shut down Photoshop Elements for the evening.

Blessings on your week.
