Birch Bay, B'ham & Vancouver, B.C. photos

Here are some pictures we've taken while on vacation in Birch Bay. Yep. Birch Bay.

Theo taking a little nap.

Gavin loves climbing on this coffee table. Good to know it will still be years before we get a coffee table.

He's getting better at keeping toys in his hands. Look at that concentration.

Gavin put the blankie on his little brother.

Buckled up and ready to drive to Canada. Gavin's second foreign country and Theo's first.

An Olympic venue in Vancouver, B.C.

Vancouver is a pretty city.

These were all over the city. It reminded me of Seattle's pigs.

A church smack dab in the middle of the city.

Paper (or what looked like paper) lanterns hanging in a street that has been closed for the Olympics.

Gavin had fun playing in these Olympic figure cut outs.

I just thought this building looked pretty cool. It overlooked the ice hockey venue.

Streets were closed everywhere - a full week before the Olympics.

This was right next to the creepy bathrooms (see previous post).

For the consumer who wants an organic high.

Leaving Vancouver.

Preparations get under way at the Peace Arch crossing for the Olympic torch relay.

Waiting in line at the border crossing.

So CUTE!!!

Nice comb over.

Great toohless grin.

Me 'n Theo

Gavin watching a video compilation of himself. He loved it!

He didn't want to wear his shirt.

There was no stopping him.

Doing his best to not touch the sea life at a tiny aquarium in Bellingham. Best $5 for a family activity yet.

Starfish eating a crab.

Ryan in the bubble tank.

Taking this family photo was not easy. Someone was full of energy.

He was in there for about 2 seconds and then on to the next thing.

At the Children's Museum in Bellingham.

The museum is tiny as compared to the one in Seattle but it was just big enough to spend a little over an hour - toddler sized.

Theo enjoying the Children's Museum. He took a nice nap - and it was small enough that we could keep an eye on him from the stations Gavin liked.

He carried this tea pot around the museum - at one point he called it a 'tea bucket'.

He had a cow when I took the canteen off as we were leaving.

Brushing and picking his hair.
