O Canada - Vancouver, BC

In Vancouver's Stanley Park, we hopped on board the kiddie train.  You can see Claire loved it.  Even 7 months later, she mentions the train and going "underwater" to see the orcas (through a tunnel with orcas painted on the sides).  

Claire got behind the tractor at another petting zoo.

We walked some trails at Stanley Park.

 We stopped for a rest to take in the views.

I was thrilled to be in Vancouver at a newer hotel with air conditioning.  Victoria was having a rare heat wave.  Temps were in the high 90's and our hotel had suicide windows, so the only relief was a cold bath in the middle of a sleepless night.  Claire was used to sleeping in her crib, so we pillow-barricaded her in the hotel beds.  Even so, she fell out of bed a few times.  Poor girl.  

We enjoyed a Chinese take-out picnic on top of Cypress Mountain.

Despite beautiful scenery, all Claire could think about was the fudge intended for dessert.  

"I want dat!  I want dat!"

At the end of the night we caught sight of an owl as it took off in flight.
