Peanut takes good care of Baby.

Look at his multi-tasking skills at work!


One of Peanut’s favorite pastimes lately is watching the washing machine do its thing while eating a banana. Funny guy…


We drove down to Cerritos last night and the kids had a blast with their cousins while Mama and Dada went to see their tax guy.

We later went to Baskin-Robbins for an ice cream treat.



For dinner, we met up with Ankong and Ama.

It’s our last day together and the kids had a fun morning before we had to pack up the car and head back the the U.S.


Auntie Amy packed us a whole bunch of snacks for the road and little did we know they would come in handy. We drove the quick 10-min drive to the border and found ourselves in a 2-hour line.

It really was two hours of inching our way to the border crossing. What made things even more stressful was that Peanut had to pee at one point. We tried to find a restroom but it was closed. Luckily he didn’t have to go so badly so we waited until we crossed and stopped at a gas station.


Once we made it across, we hurried to Seattle and tried to make our flight. Unfortunately, we were just 30 mins too late and ended up having to rebook to tomorrow morning. Our flight was the last one out and there wasn’t enough time to return the car, take the shuttle, check the carseat and stroller, get through security, and board the plane.
We ended up at a hotel for the night and a very early wake-up call tomorrow for the first flight out. We also had to pay a hefty price because our super discounted fare went to a full fare. No bueno.

After lunch, we piled into the minivan and headed up to Mt. Seymour for some afternoon/night snowboarding.


We didn’t get lessons for the kids since the beginner run was a gentle slope with a magic carpet.


We had a fun time but the grown ups were exhausted following the kids around and picking them up.

We went to the lodge for a snack and the kids ate quite a bit.

The sun started setting but the Janie and Amelia were ready to go again. So, Peanut and Ellie stayed with Auntie Amy while Mama and Dada took the girls down the long green run.

They were so excited!


Janie did great making it down on her own and fell only twice. So fun!


Peanut and Mama were up early this morning so we went for a walk and found a fancy bakery/coffeeshop that was open (Nemesis Dope Bakery).

Then we took a walk to Tim Horton’s to pick up Peanut’s favorite Vancouver treat.

He was so excited to get his timbits in the little box.

He couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel to eat them!



When we got back to the hotel room, Janie was up so she had some of the pastries we brought back and was ready to go exploring.

We went to the end of the dry dock and ran around a bit.

Then Auntie Amy came down with the girls so we could find some lunch at Lonsdale Quay Market.



After our snow day, we went back to the hotel and the kids had a fun time taking a bath in the really cool bathtub. They also use the bath bomb that was left for us.

We had dinner at Fishworks and we feasted on some really good seafood. Janie and Amelia shared a platter of raw oysters and were so happy.

Then we walked over the Earnest Ice Cream around the corner.


After Dada and Janie left for their dinner and dance, Peanut went on a scooter ride with Mama as she ran. We went all the way around the lagoon and rode through his school to show off his scooter to his teacher.


Before dinner, we stopped at Toy Safari where they sell lots of used toys. Peanut picked out a submarine for the bathtub.

Then we had dinner at Tomatina where he ordered the kid’s Caesar salad and ravioli.


After dinner, he was given the choice of getting ice cream at Tucker’s or going to the arcade. He chose the arcade and had so much fun. He tried Excite Bike, a driving/racing game, and Street Fighter II.


What a fun night for Mama and Peanut!


Today we went to the outlets to buy both kids some new shoes.


We also took Peanut out for a haircut. We can see his ears again!

They also picked Chipotle for dinner.

It’s President’s Day and Janie was invited over to Jasper’s house for the day.

Looks like they had a busy day filled with playing inside and outside.
