So we went up to Whistler with Greg's parents this weekend and here are a few pictures from our trip. But, before we get to those pictures here is a picture of Noah's birthday cake.....a Canucks cake for a Canucks fan! It was his 5th birthday yesterday (Sunday) and we had a family Thanksgiving dinner as well as a birthday cake for the birthday boy. His party is on Friday and I will be sure to post some pictures.
A trip to Whistler isn't complete without a visit to Cows for ice cream and a ride on the cow. Of course it was FREEZING but that didn't deter the kids from the ice cream.
While we were up in Whistler it was the last weekend to ride the Peak 2 Peak Gondola which goes from Whistler to Blackcomb. We decided that since we had never done it before we would take the kids on it. It was amazing. It was cold but clear and you could see so much. Here are the boys on the Gondola up Whistler Mountain.
Here are the boys on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola waiting to go across to Blackcomb.
The boys and I on the Whistler Gondola. On the way down we were the only ones in our Gondola so we had the opportunity to do some fun pictures.
Greg had some crazy ideas......none of which we will discuss. This was the tamest of them all and it involved silly faces on the Gondola.
Here's Zay looking through the bottom of the Grey Peak 2 Peak Gondola. There are only 2 Grey Gondolas and they have glass bottoms so you can see the ground below. There was a wait for one but we decided to try it on the way back from Blackcomb to Whistler. It was pretty cool but boy are you high up!
Here are the boys at the top of Whistler playing in the snow! Brrrr!
We ate lunch in the restaurant at the top of Whistler mountain and here we found a giant Inukshuk. A tourist was kind enough to take our picture in front of it.......it only took him 4 tries to figure out how to use our camera! I think you can see the village in the background and Green Lake.
Just to the right of the Inukshuk when we exited the restaurant we saw a visitor.....a nice baby black bear. He's kind of hard to see in this picture but that's Isaiah's hat and to the left you can see the bear. Greg got some closer pictures than this but he was within about 8 feet of us. Finally an employee came out and scared him down the mountain a bit. On our Gondola ride across to Blackcomb though we saw him just a bit down the hill sitting by two work sheds. It was pretty neat.
