First Day of Sixth Grade

Emily and Lauren started sixth grade at the beginning of the month! They are enjoying it so far. Emily chose choir and Lauren chose violin for music elective class. It's going to be a great year!

Random Film Photos- Seattle and Vancouver, BC

I shot several rolls of 35mm film during our trip to Seattle and Vancouver... here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

Vancouver, BC- Day Four

 

The next day we went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

Girls standing between super tall totem poles.

The suspension bridge is 450 feet long and 230 feet above the Capilano River. 

Long exposure photo taken with my iPhone.

They had an owl on display...

as well as a bird.

Emily making her way back across the bridge with apple cider in hand. 

The Cliffwalk area had sturdier walkways.

We headed back downtown for lunch... there are so many great restaurants in Vancouver.

Then we headed to the Kitsilano pool for a swim. The Kitsilano pool is the longer salt water pool in North America... 137 meters!

In the evening we went to the Richmond Night Market... the largest asian night market in North America.

So much to see...

Lots of tasty food!

We tried taiyaki, a fish shaped cake with red bean filling. It was delicious!

Strawberry filled mochi. 

Justin and Lauren trying on sunglasses. 

The next morning we drove back home... it took us FOUR hours just to get through the border crossing! It was still a great trip though and we hope to go back someday. :)
