Home Sweet Home!

Well, after two fun-filled weeks, we're home sweet home. The trip was a blast and we're so happy that we were able to make it happen!

First off in Edmonton, we attended the beautiful wedding of our cousin Lisa! It was a very chilly day, but the sun was shining as we celebrated Lisa and Luke's marriage. It was so nice to be amongst almost all of our family (we missed you Matt, Ben, Brooke and Suzy!) and to get caught up on things in person for a change. Good times had by all, especially our grandparents on the dance floor!!!! Congrats again Lisa and Luke - so happy to be there for your special day! Looking forward to the next family wedding in October!!!!

After a very busy long-weekend, we headed to Vancouver to spend 10 days in the most beautiful city!!!! We packed in as much as we could, including our highlight 'skydiving adventure'! What an experience, what a rush, what fun!!!! We also went to the Lynn Canyon Suspension bridge, hiked some trails, walked the sea wall, spent an incredible day in our old hometown of White Rock, and met up with a friend from university! On top of that, we had a big 11th birthday celebration for our cousin Brooke, shared wonderful meals with our amazing grandparents, and even got to see our 'kindergarten friend' TWICE! How lucky are we?!

Some of you may be wondering what happened to our highly anticipated hot air balloon ride. Well, no, we didn't chicken out. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to 'unpredictable weather'. Yes, it was May in Vancouver, so our 'selection of sunny days' was rather limited. Just as well though, we wouldn't have wanted to soar through the air on a cloudy/rainy day. Luckily, we were smart and bought vouchers that are transferable, so even though the scenery may not quite reach Vancouver's beauty, we will give it a go here in Ontario sometime soon!

Well, in a nutshell, that was our trip! We couldn't have asked for anything more (other than a bit warmer and sunnier weather!). Thanks for everyone's continued support with our 'Drive to 25'. We're having a blast and are excited for what's to come!
