Green Run

No Comments


We are on our way back to Soda Springs for Day 2! This time, Janie is getting her first lift pass to ride the Green Run with Dada!!


Peanut is excited to be back at Planet Kids with Mama.

It’s a much sunnier day today so we bought the kids some snow goggles.

Here’s Mama and Peanut on the shuttle ride to Planet Kids.

Meanwhile, Dada took Janie up a real ski lift for the first time!! So exciting!

Here’s her first run.

Here’s a longer run. Sorry for the shaky video. Dada was also on a snowboard.

Peanut did some snowboarding too but then had some fun playing with the snow too.

What a fun day in the snow!

Soda Springs

We got up early this morning and drove up to Truckee.


The kids were still in their PJs and put on their snow gear when we arrived at the snow park.


There was so much snow and more coming down in flight fluffy balls that looked like styrofoam.


Peanut was so tired by the afternoon and fell asleep on an inner tube.


At the end of the day, we had some tasty ice cream.

Fanny Bay Oyster Co.

In the afternoon, we met up with Auntie Amy, Uncle Jay, Auntie Elaine, Uncle Mitchell, and Auntie Laurie for some raw oysters, crab, clams, and a bunch of other seafood goodies.


Janie ate at least a dozen oysters on her own and loved it.


Peanut slept through most of our meal, woke up to eat some crab, and then watched some Paw Patrol.

Today was our first day of snowboarding lesson for the trip.


Once the kids got their rental gear, they were each assigned a teacher for the morning.

Peanut just took off down the hill.

Janie learned how to go down using the “falling leaf”.


The parents passed out on the car ride back to Surrey this time.


We also checked into our hotel in downtown Vancouver this evening.

Sea to Sky

No Comments


This morning, the kids were so happy to see all the snow in front of Amelia and Ellie’s house. They had a little bit of time to play before we piled into the minivan for a ride up to Squamish to ride the Seat to Sky Gondola.


The gondola took us up the mountain and Peanut was so excited.

At the top, there was a suspension bridge and other places to explore.

Janie drew initials in the snow and asked Mama to take a picture.

They also went down the tubing hill together and Janie kept her eyes closed the whole time.


Peanut was not tall enough to ride so he went to the store for a Canadian maple syrup treat.


He also finished off the timbits before the kids came back. He’s become a BIG FAN of timbits on this trip.


On the drive back down the mountain, the girls fell asleep in the back. Poor Janie became a pillow for Ellie and Amelia.

While Janie and Dada were out for the evening, Mama took Peanut to swim and then a spaghetti and meatball dinner!


He also asked if we could get ice cream with sprinkles so that’s what we did! Tucker’s was just across the street and he asked the lady for sprinkles all by himself!

Astro Blaster!

One of Peanut’s favorite rides at Disneyland has always been Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters. The above photos are from our last two trips in 2017 and 2018.

Mama finally found one for him on eBay and he was so excited to see that he had his very own blaster.
